I have a fair share of OSINT experience, be it as a hobby. The fact that I said S&P 500 and what his department does, that he is hired as a developer, I've already narrowed it down to several thousand people. Add the company name a

At this point, I suspect that is just about every tech company. Your best bet is to self-host everything, no agents, no cloud services, completely locked up home network and a loaded shotgun if anything starts making unexpected noises.

I hate to be the "I told you" guy but... I told you and have been for years. And every time I do, a flock of sloppers come to say "but have you tried the claude sloppus, it's so good man, I haven't written any code

Not to spoil the surprise but it will get much MUCH worse. Reason: sloppers. Anyone who's dealt with security and has looked into how all the slop agents work can understand how catastrophic it is from a security perspective. The &quot

If that were the case I'd be getting a lot less "Hey, can you check this, something isn't working, here's what the AI did: ..." in complex systems but, alas, I hear those exact words 10+ times a day if I'm luck

The good times are yet to come though: when all the slop held together by spaghetti, duct tape, chewing gum and hairballs starts falling apart and someone needs to fix it. If the slop bubble doesn't start popping soon, in 10 years a ha

I'd be more than willing to subscribe and support the project BUT, I need to address the elephant in the room: The reason why I'm against Kagi is the fact that they use Yandex(be it only for images according to their own words) an

Brilliant article. This is something I've been thinking about for a while. Up until around 2020 I used to work at a company that lived off of games and the economy was, you guessed it, micro-payments. I was the one in charge for develo

For anyone that has been missing the memo on how to become rich: 1. Make a slop machine that's a wrapper around another slop machine like claude, openai, google or whatever. 2. Hire a lawyer to send threatening emails to anyone that mi

searxng works well but it's not perfect. I tried qwant for a bit but results were mediocre at best. Kagi, I've shared my views on why I'd never use it. I wouldn't use it even if they paid me to use it in fact. For the ti

I assume they are called hooks, .vscode/settings.json - you can put some linters/tests which run automatically (from my understanding, something similar to git hooks, hence the reason I called them hooks). I generally hate the con

The vast majority of devs in the last few years have either been raised as sloppers or transitioned from developers to sloppers. Programming has evolved into a blackbox where fewer than ever people know how a program works, despite the numb

Love-hate relationship here. I make and fly drones as a hobby (mostly build-since around July last year, 98% of the times, when weekends come, it's always raining). While soldering can be fun, I hate soldering big, fat cables on large

Not only that. I was probably not even a teenager or barely a teenager when registering a gmail was not as simple as clicking "sign up". You needed someone to refer you and upon registration you got 25 referrals in return. Needles

I won't lie, I'd be pretty curious to find out I had died too. Back when I was in uni in the late 2000s and early 2010s I stumbled upon some of your talks and thought to myself "this man has got to be the most fun person to h

Seniors are no different and that infuriates me even more. The few times I felt lazy and let an AI do a simple function for me, all hell broke loose. I'm starting to think that many people were never that senior to begin with: Writing

Judging from everyone I know, it will take people a lot of time to learn and accept a lesson from decades ago(one from before some of us were even born and I'm in my mid 30's): lines of code is a shit metric. Sloppers tend to beli
