Steve Yegge used to be a decent engineer with a clear head and an ability to precisely describe problems he was seeing. His "Gooogle Platform Rant" [1] is still required reading IMO. Now his bloviated blogposts only speak of a man extremely high on his own supply. Long, pointless, meandering, self-aggrandising. It really is easier to dump this dump into an LLM to try to summarize it than spend time trying to understand what he means. And he means very little. The gist: I am great and amazing and predicted the inevitable orchestration of agents. I also call the hundreds of thousands of lines of extremely low quality AI slop "I spent the last year programming". Also here are some impressive sounding terms that I pretend I didn't pull out of my ass to sound like I am a great philosopher with a lot of untapped knowledge. Read my book. Participate in my meme coin pump and dump schemes. The future is futuring now and in the future. [1] https://gist.github.com/chitchcock/1281611 https://gist.github.com/chitchcock/1281611
