I also joined the club recently. Global newsfeeds from social media have become infested with AI slop, near constant Trump/ICE BS spam in addition to existing clickbait vids and ads. News media front pages are essentially Trump outlets

Gotta say the article hits the right notes. I'm one of the peeps thinking about whether I actually still need Windows. I'm not a power user of office and photoshop. I could in fact live with various online office-alike suites or L

I stopped using Twitter somewhere around the time of Musk takeover. Only used it for event coverage live during events for which I found it genuinely useful at some point and of course doomscrolling. Can't say I miss it. Its like nothi

Gotta say I'm super annoyed by getting spoon-fed AI popups in every piece of software I'm using. How about fixing bugs and optimizing mem and perf? Whatever happened to caring for end users. Empathy is aparently dead in the era of

Even if its just a demo its really slick. Tech has come a long way. Can't say I want to talk to a droid to check-in at a hotel or bump into one at home all the time but I'm sure there are some obvious civilian use cases around.

Gotta say I'm pessimistic about the future of AI. At least until its adopted by public sector, schools and societies. Right now its just enhancing what we already have. More "efficient" meetings with auto-note-taking so we ca

I survived one day. Feels accurate. I don't get why there are so many serious comments around this game. Its not rocket science. We often make fun of autism in the team, its just a nice way to chew the fat in the modern workplace.

True that. Its unsustainable. They'll keep it clean to attract a mass of consumers and then enshittify the experience by serving nicely disguised ads afterwards. Feels like this scenario has been on repeat since forever not just in Goo

Looks like another BS article that tries to compare a junior dev. to an AI. And its not even close. Anyone that actually tried to use AI tooling should know better. Feels like the CEOs that got sold this ideas are force-feeding this idea to

I like to go on a nostalgia trip every now and then as well. Loved the old forums that got taken out by social networks. Also loved the various private communities in IRC and Usenet and the blog-o-spheres I was part of and read about. But t

I rarely use LLMs nowadays. Most of the time I'm fixing difficult to debug issues spanning multiple projects and a variety of backend systems and there's just no easy way to plug them to all this spaghetti. Autocomplete also spews

So sad to hear this. It sounds like gutting various agencies and public sector is being done for no real purpose other than to "save". What's being saved for is something apparently nobody knows. Probably not even the current

I still can't believe Musk came up with a name that shortens to DOGE. This is next level political trolling. Then again people got what they voted for.

This is a good write up that is sure to trigger a lot of people. The main two things I see coming out of this aggressive militant moralism is the death of public and to some degree private dialog. This is especially apparent in left-wing me

Hard to stomach but you can't deny honesty. I wouldn't be surprised that more business high brass people think that way about the workers but are smart enough not to be open about it. Otherwise the guy doesn't seem to be havi

Sure some of it is subjective. I'm a big fan of dark UIs. But the fact is that when I say 3-way blinded my entire car is objectively brightly lit so its definitely not just an eye thing. Happy to hear I'm not the only sensitive pe

Surely not 70% but like 5-10% might be a better ballpark figure. Coding or generating with LLMs is just part of the problem and always the fastest part of software building. All the other things eat disproportionately larger amount of time.

Post-Corona cars are all much brighter. Its gotten so bad that I'm frequently left wondering if people are driving with high beams or just regular new-age lights. Got to wait to see if the person on the other side drops the lights to b

Having been there last year I can attest to that it's crowded however that's only a problem the first few talks of the day when motivation is still high. I've got a seat on the greater majority of the talks. Only two regrets

AI is the next bubble. VCs are really pushing it but I don't see this solving day to day software development problems anytime soon. Solving difficult CS problems is one thing and I do find it impressive, unfortunately the greater majo

I started climbing and bouldering a few weeks ago. I'm doing a top rope climbing course and will maybe follow it up with lead climbing. Having been running for several years now it's really fun doing something completely different

I went full remote with the start of Corona pandemic and I have to say it's been an amazing experience. Granted I've joined a co-working place so I wasn't working out from a basement but the interactions there are more inform

I no longer stay on websites that require consent, show overlays, demand subscriptions and signups or do any other funky anti-user maneuvers. Just let this part of the web die. Web is already hostile enough nowadays with all the tracking, s

This sounds like one of those wonderfully insane ideas. Either the company has a need for a role or it doesn't. It's up to the leadership to figure it out. Pitting the workforce against themselves is avoiding the responsibility of

I don't use copilot but I did try a few tools lately like phind and chatgpt and tried to use them during daily coding chores. So far without much success. I tried using them as glorified code generator but the problem is that the gener

This is the true mass surveillance dystopia. When cameras get weaponized to enforce arbitrary dressing rules. Looking at how common cameras have gotten in public places like CCTVs in UK I can't shake the feeling that civilians are just

Standard topics for me are: 1. What's up? (chewing the fat about any relevant life topic) 2. My frustrations with the process and possible improvements. 2.1 Followup to recent changes in this area. 3. Experience with recently developed

Not sure why there's a `still` in the question. As long as there's text files to edit there will be a good reason to learn Vi(m) or any other console/text/GUI editor. Here are some reasons why I use it: - it's fast

Looking at how Musk handles business and public comms makes me loose more and more respect for this guy with every passing second. It's all fun and games when you have a few hundred mills in the bank. Hopefully the people that left wer
