It sure didn't reward Atlassian. If anything it accelerated the long, downward slide.

Many of those are self-reporting, anyway. It's not there to stop bots.

I don't know what you mean about "talking points". That's how the IL type proposal works for OS age reporting. It's self-attestation of age brackets of under 13, 13–16, 16–18, and 18+. Feel free to tell me what you

If it’s like the Illinois one, all of tech are probably behind them, because these shift age verification away from service providers to a self-reported age bracket at the OS level. It’s much safer than what some idiotic states are doing (l

A year ago everyone was sure these things couldn’t write functional code. A few months ago people started saying they need to be operated by people who could otherwise write the code. It sounds like we’re headed towards… the guy in Office S

I’m less worried about them “fully” replacing developers than what partial replacement looks like for the 95%+ of us who aren’t set-for-life, special genius devs in big tech.

They started nagging every user in Jira to use their AI, now. It’s like straight out of the Microsoft “Dear god please please use our AI product!” playbook. I’m honestly not sure what you even use AI for in Jira. Maybe there’s a purpose,

I loved the touch bar. Unfortunately it was a cool thing that died a slow death when nobody made meaningful use of it. At that point it made sense to axe it.

It doesn't scream "disposable" to me. It'll blow the doors off everything else in that price range, in a machine that feels like a macbook, which retain value better than anything else.

I mean... they're pushing diapers for 6-9 year olds, now? What I took away is, by the early 2040s, "potty trained" is going to appear on peoples resumes.

Tax and accounting is rule based reporting. With formal authorities and openly available rulesets on right and wrong. There’s judgement in it, but that’s even less true than in development. Maybe someone makes the case that there’s art and

I get what you’re saying, but it’s not as though there are trillions of books and blog posts and stackexchange questions about excel and the handful of other things that most office workers do, too. I honestly figured that’s why everyone is

It says "no electron". I guess that's a differentiator. But also it says: "Raw markdown. No preview pane. That's the point." So I guess it's intentionally more primitive than notepad, if that's a th

I'm still trying to make sense of it. Every tool increases efficiency at the expense of labor, but when it was the power loom and sewing machine the unemployed seamstresses and weavers couldn't afford to buy one. This time everyon

I think I’m seeing fallout of Microsoft’s notoriously horrific branding and marketing, again? Some people seem to be talking about the VS(C) extension/feature, the paid llm service from GitHub, or both? “X bone X is your PC!” vibes,

I remember hearing “trek replicator” in things like pop mechanics, back in the 90s. Then it was a lot of “self replicating printers” for quite a while, which never has been a real thing. Certainly there’s utility in the technology, and much

I think the severity of this is wildly overblown in an effort to make it fit the thesis. Like… if the maker thing was less of an insane cult that died out than genuine excitement about things that actually did matter… well the whole thing f

Prime is worse. Pay for the service. Then pay more to remove ads. But then a massive amount of their catalog remains “only with ads.” And then they pack half the usable screen with media that must be bought and titles that require add-on

I want to know how you can be a trillion dollar tech company with unlimited access to all the best minds and AI tools and whatever… and still have a busted-ass mobile app fronting their store. For YEARS.

I never thought I would say this, but Walmart is worlds better than Amazon for buying regular stuff. Their logistics are better, you have to wade through a lot less no-name trash to find the thing you wanted, and their Prime-like membership

I don’t see 70 million Americans transitioning from white collar “knowledge worker” to plumbers and electricians in the 18 months the hype men are quoting. Many don’t even have the physical capabilities for it.

His argument is that this isn’t a failure of AI to perform as advertised, but a series of deployment failures a businesses. He theorizes that they’re buying a million licenses for chatgpt or copilot, dumping that in the laps of employees, a

Or… I put together new features in three days, and it takes the rest of the process 8 more weeks before anything sees production.

They did. So we installed a guardrail to prohibit it. Now that’s called “burdensome regulation”, and we’re tearing all those guardrails down at an alarming pace.

I'm not excited about a future where the division of labor is something like: AI does all of the interesting stuff and the humans clean the toilets. Especially now that I'm older and my joints won't tolerate it.

The blog and the contents of the post both indicate it’s someone writing about a time they were homeless and suffering from psychosis.

Siri is about old enough to be getting a drivers license now, and I swear it's going through the same brain development woes.

As far as I know they've always been considered to be very objective with high standards. Doesn't mean their methodologies always correctly predict outcomes or anything, just that I've never seen a serious case made that they

It does reek of a place spinning its wheels, praying for traction, burning through other people’s cash without a serious business. These “businesses” aren’t trying to produce the greatest number of widgets in a given day. If their business
