Those are all syntactic changes, AI attempts to be semantic, totally different.

Conway's Law shines again! It's amazing how much explanatory power it has, to the point that I can predict at least some traits about a company's codebase during an interview process, without directly asking them about it.

It might have required a GoT level budget to make, but it wont look as good a GoT. Just a few days ago McDonalds learned that (again) in the Netherlands

Hmmm, I'm a bit confused of their conclusions (encouraging use) given some of the really damning caveats they point out. A tool they themselves determine to need such careful oversight probably just shouldn't be used near prod at

That 100% claim is doing an awful lot of work. Theres is ample documentation from most corporate rollouts that show the opposite, and as a SWE I find it worse than useless...

> If all of "AI stuff" is a "no" for you, then I think you just signed out off working in most industries to some important degree going forward. I'm not sure the penetration of AI, especially to a degree where p

Idk, having a bunch of government surveillance drones doesn't really sound great... Maybe we just don't need this level of surveillance at all?

My bosses aren't pushing it at all. The normal cargo-cult temptations have pulled on some fellow SWEs, but its being pretty effectively pushed back on by its own failings, paired with SWEs who use it being outperformed by those who don

All I see it doing, as a SWE, is limiting the speed at which my co-workers learn and worsening the quality of their output. Finally many are noticing this and using it less...

If true then what "utility" is there?

Great piece, but worth mentioning that you generally can't use a presigned URL with CDN endpoints. So great for sensitive content, but if you rly want the thing to be widely and quickly accessible there's more work to be done

Wild how if a government does this directly most folks agree its dystopian and flip out, but let companies do it and, even if it ends up in the governments hands, people install it themselves...

I view ".coop" quite highly given it is restricted to actual, legally recognized, cooperatives. Its definitionally more meaningful and "trustworthy" than .com or .org

Not my experience, I've found it to worsen senior out output. Not sure if its laziness or what but the seniors around me using AI are outputing worse code than those who aren't.

I love the u-blue stuff I've used so far (Bazzite and uCore) but god do I wish they had one with cosmic desktop. Fedora atomic does, and it looks like u-blue used to (there's an archived repo), but until then I'm sticking wit

If the latter were consistent it'd be much more interesting. X banned most large leftist accounts after Musk took over, so like most "free speech" advocates they really mean they want to be able to say hateful rightwing speec

Loved this piece, it resonates with my desire for "professional development" that puts technical skill at its core and moves on from there.

Im one of the younger devs where I work and I despise "AI". Interestingly the biggest boosters are my boss and his boss, both are notably older than me

Not trying to "make it go away", though that'd be great, just making another irrelevant technology that I dont interact with.
