I’ve learned a lot of stuff that don’t really benefits me right now, but now and then I encounter a situation that made me happy that I did. It may never happens for some, but at the time, I was probably happy learning it.
But there’s some stuff that I don’t bother explore in depth because my time is finite and I don’t really need it. And anything LLM tooling is probably easier than a random JS framework. Vim’s documentation is probably longer than cursor’s.
Tell me if im too conspiritorial. Wouldnt it makes sense to have bad censorship on information thats e.g a 8/10 on a guilty scala. And make sure the 10/10s stay censored? Let People assume they can uncensor some, and what they uncensor is representative for any censored information. While the parts that couldnt be uncensored are way worse?
That's how language shifts. Supply chain attacks are broadly seen as a scary new thing, so like with any such term, people try to shoehorn things they find into its meaning. Those who fall for and repeat it shift the language. The same happened to the word 0day: it used to mean "a vulnerability that you specifically haven't had a chance to patch because it has been known to the world for 0 days". A scary thing. Now it's commonly used as synonym for the word vulnerability
I wonder if every vulnerability is soon called a supply chain attack:
- Microsoft releases a Windows security update -> Discord uses Windows -> supply chain attack on Discord
- User didn't install security updates for a while -> brought their phone to work -> phone with microphone sits in pocket in meeting room -> supply chain attack
Everything has dependencies that can be vulnerable, that doesn't mean "the supply chain" was attacked in a targeted effort by some attacker
If you started early webdev, you learned lots of tricks, that dont benefit a modern webdev. E.g soap, long polling, the JsonP workaround... and so on
Many of the Llm frameworks will be seen simular. Mcp is already kinda heading in the obsolete direction imo, as skills took over
