I also feel this, and it also troubles me. Unfortunately, we may be in the minority on this site.

What the other replies seem to overlook is that it fundamentally changes the nature of the work - it’s not the next step in the evolution after an IDE, it is closer to an automated tractor, and yes that does make the farmer’s work trivial. Pressing a button and having the field get plowed is a very different experience than manually plowing a field yourself. I can no longer in good conscience say “I plowed that field”, because all I did was press a button. The tractor plowed that field.

Most people on this site seem to feel comfortable claiming “I plowed that field” after they pressed the button that started the automated tractor. Okay, you had the idea to press the button - but you didn’t actually do the work, you delegated it. Same end result, but a different lived experience. Now would I rather actually plow a field by hand or simply press a button? You can probably guess - but the two actions do differ greatly in the experience they bring me, and the feelings of satisfaction.

The test suite explicitly verifies the architecture and the data structures used? Depends on the suite, I suppose.

A 50-year-old oak is not just lumber. The fact that you think these are equivalent is a hilarious, classic HN take.

Please note that air quality in an area varies dramatically over time. You are looking at a current snapshot with maps like that. The map linked below has his more historical data and I can see several _weeks_ this past year in my area (which currently has very good air quality) where the PM 2.5 weekly average exceeded 25ug/m^3.

Localized phenomena like a neighbor starting a fire, up to the activity of nearby factories and power plants, up to national and global phenomena like wildfires and weather patterns, all have dramatic effects. Looking at an air quality map once and determining that you don’t have to think about air quality because you’re in the US is a mistake.

Exercise outdoors is a wonderful thing, obviously, but there are some days, even in the US, where you might think twice or even consider shifting your exercise to a different (less-polluted) time of the day.

Happy Valetudo user for years. It has great integration with Home Assistant, too. Highly recommend.

Echoing many of the other replies here - my experience has been very different (much better).

The web UI is fine and snappy and using Infuse on Apple TV is simply delightful.

The server uses file watchers to update the media library very quickly and is light on resources.

I don't need a recommendation engine because... it's my media library, presumably I added things to it that I want to watch.

And most importantly, it's open source and not likely to get enshittified in the near future like Plex.
