From my perspective it comes down to two factors. First is the corporate push for AI. We are constantly getting told to "use AI for X" and not "explore if it makes sense to use AI for X". It's pretty obvious that qu

It's not about being incompetent. Quite often in selfhosted subreddits and forums you will see people surprised that Cloudflare can see their traffic in plaintext. Of course, they probably don't, but the fact that they can and tha

It's only tenuously related to TFA but recently I've been trying to move almost all of my recreational internet browsing to the indie web. I've been populating freshrss with the ultimate aim being that I can mostly read every

I disagree. Look at the number of recent contributions compared to the past few years, and given AI being everywhere it's reasonable to expect that it might have been directly caused by AI. In the thread someone found the bug and it wa

Anecdotally the businesses I am involved with have gone from "use AI everywhere at any cost" to "use it everywhere but use token proxies to save cost" at the same time in the last few weeks

I have mixed feelings here. I find codex much better than Claude for generating PoCs and debugging small scripts, and for finding online documentation. I find Claude a bit better for debugging distributed systems and summarising data

Aside from filling in the timesheet (which I assume could be done from a CSV import - I appreciate this is another step), I have almost the same setup as you, without AI. I have bugwarrior pulling JIRA tickets and github PRs into taskwarrio

While I sympathise and it's a well written article, writers engaging in SEO and clickbait (as they admitted) to drive traffic are just as responsible for the death of the internet. They're bemoaning the loss of traffic but that tr

Be a better person. Or at least put a message in your status that you record everything and send it to Google for analysis for minimum personal gain. Do you also carry a second phone to take a photo just in case someone sends you a disappea

I'd be pretty angry if I found out someone I chatted to on Signal was running a service to workaround my message expiry choice and archive my messages. And breaking that trust just to run it through an LLM?

Artisanal code has a future. Maybe not a high paid one but maybe we go back to roots. if you enjoy programming and were never focused on output or on pipelines, LLM doesn't offer the same ezperience
