The AI companies have laid-out a clear plan: Watch everything you do, all the time, in perpetuity -- with Flock, that's done offline; with ChatGPT, Microsoft Windows, and NVIDIA's AI adventures, that's also done digitally. Meanwhile, the circular funding gets increasingly ridiculous as NVIDIA bankrolls everyone it can to keep the music going. The good news is that we can turn to Jim Cramer for salient, sane advice -- live in a data center, or something. The clowns are running the asylum.

Check the screenshots. They actually fixed it. Now the waiting game begins because apparently, it's only for Insiders at the moment

I recently launched a small project designed to solve a simple problem: letting everyday people transfer files directly between two computers with a cable without needing any network setup. The post got a lot of love and reached the top of the community, but the comment section had a handful of advanced users getting genuinely angry that the tool even exists.

Their whole argument came down to: "Why build this? SMB exists, you can just build a router out of a Raspberry Pi, or manually configure static IPs and network sharing policies."

It got me thinking about how disconnected some tech enthusiasts are from reality. The entire purpose of software engineering was always to solve problems and remove friction for human beings, not to force everyone to become a system administrator just to do a basic task.

Just because an advanced user knows how to manage IP subnets, firewall exceptions, and OS sharing permissions doesn't mean a regular person wants to waste 30 minutes figuring that out. Hiding complexity behind a clean, one-click interface is literally the foundation of good software.

It seems like in a lot of tech spaces, people equate complexity with value. If something is simple and convenient, they dismiss it. But the reality is that the people who find your tool useful will quietly use it and appreciate it, while the loud minority will write essays in the comments trying to show off how much they know.

If you are a developer building simple tools that make life easier for ordinary people, do not let the gatekeepers talk you down. Build for the people who value their time, not for the people who want to show off their homelabs.

Would love to hear how other developers deal with this kind of feedback when sharing their work.
