   Thanks for writing this. It has really left a bad taste (to say it politely) seeing people I consider colleagues, friends, leaders support something like this. These people would spend hours/days/weeks designing systems reasoning

   I agree, but to do that you need _something_ and _someone_ (often multiple someones) to manage all that.

   Well I take back what I said then and best of luck to that specific endeavor.

   The only thing in the list that might be interesting is the book. But it's LLM slop, so... I bet that 5 month long bender felt amazing though!

   Do you let your Jenkins re-inference your entire program from markdown files on each push?

   Thankfully inserting malicious skills is not something that can easily be done, you need to a lot of things wrong and the attacker to do a lot of things right in order for it to be exploited.

   No, nothing like that. It wasn't a single thing. Just drifted away I guess, and disillusioned. I have no strong ill feelings towards it.

    That's a long read. I grew up Catholic, went through a pretty devout few years in my early adulthood, but ultimately I have decided that it is not for me. I send my kids to a Catholic school though (it is deeply tied to our culture), s

    software plays a big role in enabling 2 (arguably 3) out of those. Least we could do is not make it worse. But it seems most of us are still just children. They give us something shiny that makes pretty lights and we happily burn the world

    Guys, I know OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc. pulled the rug on us with regards to token pricing. But let's give these other guys a chance.

    Thanks for taking one for the team. I flagged this post since AI slop is not allowed.

    To continue with the janitor analogy, AI slop is like some drunk person intentionally smearing shit all over the bathroom walls and ceiling because it felt good at the time. They didn't have to do that, but they did and now someone els

    I can't help but feel that this (not this specific article but the whole trend) is a little bit misguided. Nothing has fundamentally changed in engineering? We aren't committing raw markdown files in Github and having Jenkins re-i

    I agree. Collective action can come in two shapes. One is that enough individuals take action, and the things you list are that, an individual taking action. If enough individuals do it then goal accomplished. The other is making our politi

    There is no profit, expense, revenue. Those don't matter. Only thing that matters is stock price goes up, and laying off makes stock price go up. When laying off make stock price go down, then laying off stop.

    The productivity high folks get from using tools like Claude Code are the same as what one gets from learning a Lisp and using something like Emacs as the editor. There is obviously a difference in capability, but do the cost differences sc

    They already did the capex. Might as well use it, it's not like it was being utilized otherwise. Must be awkward to see your $10B datacenter sitting at 10% utilization.

    If you think about it, this is actually a new kind of security. Security by numbers. Overwhelm the attackers with so many compromised services and devices that they get a reverse denial of service. It's inspired by nature in herd anim
