No tests? Just mess up some mundane detail [1] and voila! Wake-up calls and heart attacks for 100,000s of administrators? 1: "Oh, well, this is not a mundane detail, Michael!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fGHaV

If 90% of tech startups failed in the past, AI pushes that that rate to over 99%. Cloud was like this too. You spent all this money as a startup with AWS regardless of whether you made a dollar or not.

"Ride the wave." Or don't. Most LLMs people are using to code are paywalled, and controlled by private, for-profit entities. This is fundamentally different than the past, and diametrically opposed to the hacker. If you'

The web stuff is well done. Now, with this newly created momentum, you should re-record the songs now, without AI. Hell, you could probably afford an awesome studio and equipment too. You could easily blow the AI out of the water.

People at Apple are not left-handed, they don't drive, they don't work out, and they don't seem to go out in the cold very much. Oh, and they definitely don't play video games.

"Any company that does this kind of stuff as a routine will not continue the routine of employing people for long." "On contracts" is explicitly mentioned. While bouncing your W-2 employees' paychecks is a big no-no

Been doing this since my early 30's, and doing it currently. I guess all the "rock stars" are dead at 27 so the point stands.

I stopped caring about the (ab)use of the word Zen in "tech" when that scummy startup Zenefits got in trouble.

Becoming a professional software engineer without a Comp Sci (or overlapping engineering degree) was a bad idea for the reasons you mention. I made it 15 years on mostly willpower earning millions of dollars, but never worked for a FAANG in

My whole career (15+ year) is built on orgs (Fortune 500s, academia, government, and even startups) hiring me to actually get something done that an employee spent months "working on" that ended up useless and scrapped. It's

Thales Bad Bot Report categorizes the traffic between "good" and "bad" bots. I would add that AI dramatically blurs the line between legitimate and malicious, and the intent generally speaking. In regards to social bots,

I mean, just for a reference point, 2013. 2013 was the first year they did the report.

According to the Thales Bad Bot Report, in 2025 >53% of traffic came from bots. 2024 was 50 - 50, and in 2013, it was measured at 43%. AI-driven* bot activity has increased more than tenfold however in the past 12 months so I'm conf

I think a lot of these execs have equity in Anthropic... and the dumb ones that don't are just "keeping up with the Joneses" so to speak.

How would one build an online community free of LLM agents commenters and links to "slop" content? Strict invitation trees? Small signup fees? No SEO incentives?

I pulled all the websites I had - some existed for a decade plus and made me hundreds of thousands of dollars. All that is left is bots that theft the value of my work. Until something changes, goodbye.
