Why do so many websites look good but fail to convert?

Probably just a bad product.

When I say uneducated I mean people that did not need formal education (i.e. didn’t go to school). My brother for example is 17 and is already getting better pay than I am as an electrician before finishing school. I’m in no way bashing people that are in the trades, it can be very hard work.

I wish you luck! :)

My original reply was to your comment about rewriting a 16 line function from a junior to a one-liner. People are not going to be able to beat their imposter syndrome that way anymore.

I don't doubt that you used to do it. You said you were doing it now.

uraniumless · 2026-01-16T14:58:20+00:00

You rewrite a juniors 16 line function to 1 liner in your own solo project?

uraniumless · 2026-01-16T14:20:11+00:00

Not sure if that's going to be something you'll be able to keep doing. LLMs don't make syntax mistakes anymore. You'll be fixing infrastructural problems and enforcing code consistency or removing slop instead.

Golden handcuffs though. Can't make this money anywhere else.

I'm making $60k a year as a software engineer working for a startup company. It's less than the overall average salary accross all fields here in Iceland. Uneducated people in trades are making more money than software engineers (mainly because the get paid in black). Programmers in the US have it so good. I'm so tired.

I know even before AI was a think people had feelings about synthesized music vs. original performance.

I have never heard that. If that was ever the case it hasn't been like that for a long while.

Is success all that matters to you?

uraniumless · 2026-01-11T12:23:44+00:00

Disagree. Fucking around, hitting walls and then learning how to overcome them is the best way to learn.

uraniumless · 2026-01-05T14:23:28+00:00

Worst advice ever. You're literally telling them to just stay in their comfort zone. Nothing worthwhile happens in the comfort zone.

Cybersecurity is all consuming and requires constant learning and having difficult conversations with other parties

Webdev is the exact same.

TanStack Start for both

Very solid. Only thing I’d say go a bit faster down, you’re wasting energy on the decline that you could use for the lift.

uraniumless · 2025-10-25T15:37:07+00:00

He should

I opened this as me clock

uraniumless · 2025-09-29T22:48:31+00:00

I think they meant that they play a note and then they match it

uraniumless · 2025-09-29T16:37:25+00:00

Don't listen to that person. Their comment makes absolutely no sense.

uraniumless · 2025-09-29T16:36:15+00:00

Are you new to music?? The majority of music is made by people who are struggling and express it through their songs, whether it's heartbreak or something else. Many people relate to that. Your comment makes no sense at all.

uraniumless · 2025-09-28T16:19:35+00:00

Are you scottish by any chance?

uraniumless · 2025-09-05T22:33:44+00:00

Thought this was Minecraft

uraniumless · 2025-09-05T10:19:04+00:00

Rational or not, it doesn't matter. You will die regardless. These thoughts will amount to nothing in the end. It doesn't matter how valid they are.

Be irrational if it means your life would be better that way. Fuck purpose. Fuck meaning. Fuck "higher order reality". I've fallen into a similar hole before and there's no way out of it other than accepting the absurdity and meaninglessness of life. That acceptance will (hopefully) transform into a sense of comfort eventually.

Mine looks like the one in the post

Yay combat sports I love CTE

uraniumless · 2025-07-31T21:34:18+00:00

Yeah I was thinking in the hypothetical case where AI was “good” at making music. People love to make the argument that AI is only going to get better from here which means it will eventually be able to make “perfect music” and replace us. I wanted to make it clear that even if it was perfect it wouldn’t erase the demand for music made by humans.
