This is just like when Paypal got started and was basically operating their own bank. Good luck doing that without getting in trouble. This is selling pharmaceutical drugs over the internet. You're playing chicken with going to jail th

I just met a guy from Amazon this past weekend who was bragging, "We've got unlimited access to LLMs and our developers have 10 agents going at a time.". I tried telling him it wasn't all unicorns and rainbows but I didn

They should but they don't and that's the problem.

I really enjoy Patrick Boyle's reports. Really high information content with very little fluff. I love how he sneaks in the deadpan snarky comment every once in a while.

I replaced all the light switches in my house with smart dimmers and have the lights dim in the evening. It happens in steps so it's noticeable and it's like a clock ticking down. I don't know if there's anything scienti

"I took a look" is the human version of vibe coding.

What does verifying code by hand even mean? Do we now have artisanal testing, lovingly hand crafted? I get the current debate about LLM assisted coding but this is mudslinging and not constructive discussion.

I suspect that we are going to see managers say, "Hey, this request is BS. I'm just going to get ChatGPT to do it" while employees say, "Hey, this response is BS, I'm just going to get ChatGPT to do it" and the

I think you'd enjoy reading about the Gervais Principle. It's pretty much what you're talking about. https://www.ribbonfarm.com/the-gervais-principle/

Why have I been seeing people use "enshitification" so much lately? Yes I know where it comes from and what it means. It's like Cory Doctorow is the new Noam Chomsky of IT and enshitification has replaced "manufactured c

Many technical directions in the past 15 years have been a thinly veiled attempt to actually get paid for doing work.

Have some faith, if it really is an AI bubble and it pops imagine the deals you're going to get like when Etherium went to PoS.

Working on it too. It's actually more like a meta language that is very token efficient.

I'm usually pretty good at explaining new technologies to people but WebAssembly has got to be the most difficult to try and explain. The sheer number of misunderstandings about it is amazing. Luckily the misunderstandings serve my pur

No, I meant a General Purpose Language (GPL) or actually this was an application specific language. You don't need to be so pedantic. Yes, the L is for language but the idea of a DSL is not well defined but these remarks reinforce my a

I just came across a situation where I had a DSL but it was clear that a language would have been better. What I don't like about this is the dogmatic tone which is pretty common in IT. Don't to it that way, do it my way! Sometime

It does't tell you if it's bad, it only tells you how old it is. You get to decide if you want to eat it. It makes the decision process easier and helps to select the older leftovers that are still good but pushing it on the age.

I've found the blue tape and a sharpie to be a game changer. It helps me keep my fridge tidy without having to go through everything and guess if it's still ok. I find I actually waste less food when I throw things out regularly b

Mise en place is ok sometimes but it also generates a lot unnecessary cleaning.

It's amazing that anyone that has seen anything in technology in the last 30 years can say, "better be careful. They might stop subsidizing this and then it's gunna get expensive!" is ridiculous. I can buy a 1Tb flash dr

PII redaction is an interesting problem but what always concerns me is what gets lost in the marketing. This is always a best effort redaction and full redaction of PII can't be guaranteed. I wouldn't run HIPPA data through this a

I've never understood electric pickup trucks. If those fugly wheel covers make a significant difference to your range on a highly aerodynamic sedan how does a pickup truck make any sense?

Why does it have to be all or nothing? How about a clever name or two for marketing that stands out and doesn't get lost in a sentence "I'm not asking you to search, I'm asking you to use the search command" but not

Ever seen the movie OfficeSpace? It's funny as hell partly because there's a lot of truth to it. Here's the interesting part it was released in 1999 and the dot-com bubble didn't burst until March 2000. It didn't do

I wrote this blog post on a similar idea likening LLM's to glue guns. Versatile sure but better for keeping the rest of the pieces together then building the entire thing out of it. https://medium.com/p/d3ef3960dc8
