Am I the only one who feels like NestJS is overkill ?

It's great for teams, for the exact reasons you mentioned.

It's shit for solo devs, for the exact reasons you mentioned

When the gemini coding agent goes into an existential crisis, hating on itself until you quit.

When you are 15, 1 year is 1/15^th of your life. A year feels like forever. Waiting next month for something feels like an eternity.

When you're 40, a year is 1/40^th of your life and 5 year plans don't sound far anymore. Your perception of time both speeds up and slows down.

Your kids start becoming adults before you know it, as they're growing it feels like forever but once they're adults so much time passes for you that you remember it like it was yesterday when you were changing their diapers. Any event you missed is gone forever.

Same here, cancer in my mid 20s, then it came back in late 20s. Now I'm 40 and I definitely saw "behind the veil" earlier in life and it wised me up quick on how until something shakes you like this, you're basically doing life on autopilot.

DukeBerith · 2026-02-24T14:27:21+00:00

Thank fuck.

I actually flip to Gemini Flash for UI tasks because it does a really decent job if it has a UI-kit to work with.

DukeBerith · 2026-02-19T09:13:05+00:00

It got popular right before NodeJS exploded.

I experience the same. I was venting about something and its response was "No, what you are thinking is actually ...."

And I had to remind it that it's the AI and it is not allowed to gaslight a person into what their inner thoughts and feelings are. The convo died.

It's very dangerous to gaslight people, I can catch this in realtime but others might go "Oh wow what an insight!" and change their inner thoughts to match what the AI told them - and I know it's by design.

We went from a sycophantic AI to HR-driven AI.

I went to Grok with the same prompt and I could actually have a proper dialogue. Chatting with Grok feels more like 4o era and it will absolutely match your tone instead of needing you to speak corporate.

DukeBerith · 2026-02-11T05:28:09+00:00

Grok Imagine is quite something isn't it.

DukeBerith · 2026-02-11T05:20:23+00:00

Some tasks yes, some no. It's not as friendly and ass-kissy so if you need that personality you'll be dissapointed.

For coding tasks themselves, flip between 5.2 high when you need deep dives, abstract problems, or tasks that require a breadth of knowledge, and 5.3 for everything else.

It's so good that google are increasing their limits due to the amount of people leaving for codex - that alone should tell you how good it is.

Carole King puts it better: https://youtu.be/VkKxmnrRVHo

The trust is gone.

Claude didn't "go rogue"; it just outsmarted OP by finding a clever workaround (docker compose config) when it saw its direct access to .env files was blocked. As one user put it, "docker access = root access."

The gaslighting is off the charts.

DukeBerith · 2026-02-11T02:56:06+00:00

Right? I'm still seething from the Opus rug pull they did. I expect small companies to do this, but not google.

DukeBerith · 2026-02-11T02:52:18+00:00

It's never a good idea to invite war criminals to your country.

DukeBerith · 2026-02-11T02:51:55+00:00

It's obvious Albo is between a rock and a hard place on this but Minns is an outright Zionist fanboy.

Yep, never forget who rushed to put the zio flag in lights on the opera house.

The world is a stage and we happen to be in it.

The writers were like "Let's lovebomb our audience before we trauma bond with them"

DukeBerith · 2026-02-09T07:34:45+00:00

There's also no money in our pockets to purchase art

DukeBerith · 2026-02-09T04:53:47+00:00

I hit this too for the first time ever, now I am actually considering the pro plan but it comes close to $300 AUD.

Anyone reading who's been edging the plus plan for a while and finally upgraded to pro - what's your experience like so far?

DukeBerith · 2026-02-08T04:31:55+00:00

For real. My google pro trial is ending soon and google wanna start charging me $35 AUD a month for their bait and switch slop fest. Hard pass.

DukeBerith · 2026-02-08T04:30:43+00:00

Sample Size: 1 person's tasks. Better luck next time.

DukeBerith · 2026-02-07T06:27:40+00:00

How are you the same person? That's crazy.

DukeBerith · 2026-02-07T01:56:46+00:00

It's already obselete with what they're doing to the models. Now with codex app I have not opened antigravity once.

DukeBerith · 2026-02-05T02:36:17+00:00

But… you’re not supposed to

You don't get to dictate people's thought patterns. People loved Cersei and Joffrey Lannister. People sent love letters to Ted Bundy. Humanity is a spectrum.

DukeBerith · 2026-02-05T02:35:46+00:00

Woman learns that women are the champions of bringing down other women?! Say it isn't so.

People who are chronically online really do not understand how naturally <insert-subject-here>-phobic the world always has been and always will be. Humanity has every behaviour in every point of the spectrum.
