do I just suck at using maven, or should I get used to deal with cache-related problems every week or so? now it’s intelliJ for whatever reason not recognizing classes from a dependency that was added!

one tricky thing with evaluating ai workflow tools is that you don't know which of their authors are actually deranged and live in fantasyland and which are in firm contact with the reality

Software developers (myself included!) were collectively fools for not unionizing when we were at peak bargaining power.
It's a very bad outcome! the "creator economy" is very bad and has bad incentives. not to say Paul is wrong, but
It’s also possible that software production could become another content format, akin to video or podcasts. That would make the monetization models similar to other creators. This isn’t a bad outcome. Software development as small business needs revitalization.

what’s up with claude code and its inability to use the `sleep` command right? It’s always calling it with some made up option that fails the command
