I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
those who claim that LLMs can replace people are exactly the people that LLMs can replace
Chronological timeline of past 50 innovations trying to replace developers with more advanced tools. Since Apollo, came COBOL, CASE tools, Visual Basic, low/no code tools, and now the promise with AI.
The 50-year quest to replace developers
❌ 1970: COBOL
❌ 1980: CASE tools
❌ 1990: Visual Basic
❌ 2000: Low/No-Code
❓ 2020: #AI
Result? We need more skilled developers than ever.

Ich hätte gerne einen KI Blocker. Wie ein Werbeblocker, nur für sämtliche von KI erzeugten Inhalte im Internet, statt für Werbung.
So macht Sparen Spass. Die App Liquid von FHNW-Student Brian Livingstone verschafft einen Rundum-Überblick über die eigenen Finanzen – nicht nur für die Gen Z.

My plans for visiting [at least] 30 JUGs in 2025 to commemorate Java’s 30th anniversary fell short due to recent employment change (still seeking btw). Only made it to 19 at 🇳🇱🇧🇪🇺🇸🇵🇪🇨🇭🇳🇴🇱🇹
Perhaps I can reach the goal next year before Java turns 31, we’ll see 😉

If you want to use [At]Grab still in your #Groovy scripts in 2025, you need to make sure that #Apache #Ivy is configured to use #Maven #Central in a secure manner… Here's how, everything except line 12 is #Grape's default:

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.
