I haven't packed a charger for the day for 3 years. I can work in coffee shops or on the couch for over 6 hours without even thinking about charging. I'm sorry but if you haven't tried the M* macbooks you don't know what you're criticising.
Without meaning to sound dismissive, because I'm really not intending to, there's also the possibility that you've gotten worse after enough time using them. You're treating yourself as a constant in this, but man cannot walk in the same river twice.
This is such a silly response when "You've gotten better at using them and know how to work around their flaws now." is right there and seems a lot more plausible.
That's a possibility, but I doubt it. I've been programming for 35 years and know what I like in code. I've also previously maintained a long review prompt in which I tell the models all the ways in which they get things wrong and to go look for/fix those problems. But those review passes now don't take as long because there are fewer such problems to begin with.
In particular GPT 5.4 is much better at not duplicating code unnecessarily. It'll take the time to refactor, to search for pre-existing utility functions, etc.
Unless this is just a PoC, you could benefit from a discovery mechanism. As much as that sounds like a webring for github, I'm probably not going to deploy a social network without knowing if anyone else is using it.
Self hosted but with big tech having a backdoor into your local network, having your ssl private key, and dictating the terms and conditions of what you self host.
I've never understood selfhosters fascination with cloudflare. They have some cool products but I have a feel 2026/27 is the time they start to show their evolving colours
In some ways it might be positive. My girlfriend had a small addiction to Instagram reels. The flood of AI generated videos on there just killed the magic for her and she stopped using it
Happy for your girlfriend, and anyone else who escapes because of this.
But it's not about the current generation of addicts. It's a play to capture the next generation.
It remains to be seen whether they'll get caught or not but it's important to remember that even if all of us mature humans find this new AI social media weird and gross, children don't have our preconceptions.
Meta is going to do everything in their power to train the next generation of young, immature brains into finding AI social media normal and addictive.
They (along with TikTok) already managed to do that to the last two generations so they have a scary track record here.
It being a lot of work is why they didn't do it at all for weeks and still, without self reflection, wrote that they care about the code quality of the code they hadn't looked at or tested
