This is a strange thing to publish in a company blog post (complete with interstitial adverts for Kapwing).

No, it wouldn't be fair. But I'm not going to get angry at something that rarely happens. Instead I'm thinking of about all the women who'd have had to work alongside Harvey Weinstein in your hypothetical, while knowing

It very clearly does matter. OJ Simpson was not found guilty of murder in a criminal setting, yet he was still a pariah. It took years from the first public accusation for Harvey Weinstein’s case to come to trial. Was it wrong for his produ

I’m quoted a bunch in this, which I appreciate, but there’s one mistake here — Slack no longer uses PHP, having migrated its codebase to Hack. Also listing language usage by what’s returned in server headers undercounts languages used on so

Yeah, it looked like a demo of something they're still working on. In this video they say "Custom-tuned models on code" are coming soon, but aren't there yet: https://youtu.be/qbxj_JDQ4Lk?si=qSTzMBpmqqJD5

Coding LLMs really shine for greenfield projects in popular programming languages. They don’t do half as well in large codebases that use ad-hoc frameworks. For example, it has no idea how to retrieve the currently-logged-in user object for

Yes, according to Elon! We also know that he lies prodigiously. Since X/Twitter is a private company now we don't have half as much insight as we did last year. But there are a few clear warning signs that the company's abili

By firing a majority of the staff, Elon has soured many engineers in US tech hubs on Twitter/X — many of us know people who were laid off, or who left in disgust. Of course, we’re a very small minority of the total labour market in the

Falling out of the tech-cultural zeitgeist is a terrifying prospect for some. Since I was never in it, it was very easy for me to stop posting to Twitter.

Maybe it's just me, but I remember a time where online defaulted to private and anonymous. facebook.com shifted that paradigm. Making people's conversations with friends as public as possible (via the news feed) turned out to be a
