they view the most important part of sports as skills development.
that to me is near last. i want my daughter to learn how to be part of a team. how to work hard. how to listen to her coaches. how to support kids with different skill levels. and most importantly, how to have fun being active.
And I speak of spiritual suffering! Of people seeing their talent, their work, their lives wasted. Of good minds submitting to stupid ones. Of strength and courage strangled by envy, greed for power, fear of change.

In pairing sessions - with and without "AI" - I've been saying "let's drop a gear" when a problem turns out to have a steeper gradient than we or the model can handle. Turns out it has a basis in probability and LLM mechanics.

Using AI to write code has made me realize there are two types of code I've traditionally written:
1. Code that I want to know how it works
2. Code that I want to exist but don't care how it works
I delegated 100% of the second category to AI now. Maybe 50% of the first.
Today my blog post of the week talks about Trunk-based development
Trunk-based development is not a Git trick. It is what continuous integration looks like.

To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.
It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.
"Amazon allegedly called its engineers to a meeting to discuss several recent incidents, [...] related to “Gen-AI assisted changes.” [...] one of the contributing factors [...] was the use of generative AI tools “for which best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established.”"

Buscar trabajo se parece a una tómbola: ofertas vagas, procesos opacos y cientos de candidatos compitiendo por lo mismo. Y al final acabas creyendo que el problema eres tú, cuando muchas veces lo único que gobierna el proceso es la arbitrariedad

As usual @grimalkina.bsky.social is worth listening to.
These principles are also worth considering and applying in all sorts of contexts. Here’s a sample from safety research I happened to read just yesterday (Dekker - Reconstructing human contributions to accidents, 2002) that aligns with it!
"I hate planning meetings!"
Maybe. Maybe it would help if you saw people actually _planning_:
- changing the plan to reflect changing reality
- taking our anxiety seriously about missing deadlines
- figuring out what to say "No" to, then actually saying it
What do you think?
[Se hace camino...] ¿Qué hacemos con Agile después de 25 años?
Han pasado 25 años desde el Agile Manifesto. Iteramos mejor, desplegamos más rápido y experimentamos más. Pero ahora necesitamos hacernos otras preguntas.

This video is well worth watching. It's a balanced, real-world look at the effectiveness of AI (across many disciplines, not just software dev) and its impact on work, substantiated by a well-designed study that actually compares UI to human workers.

Great 20’ talk by @dexhorthy.bsky.social on Context Engineering for coding agents: avoiding the “dumb zone”, Research→Plan→Implement workflow, and sub-agents for brownfield codebases. Highly recommend if you’re struggling with AI on brownfield/legacy code bases. 🤩

I keep seeing lots of people saying "LLMs are like compilers/assemblers for prompts"
Noooooooooo
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
LLMs are not compilers, and they're not assemblers. Determinism is a key aspect to assemblers and compilers.
And they *certainly* can't be part of a reproducible pipeline
A non-deterministic product may produce different outputs with each use, which makes the traditional means of testing and debugging less useful.
"It works well on my machine" will become even more of a joke than it is right now.
I'm so thankful for AI...finally developers are no longer chanting "Microservices" constantly.

The “Trust the Tests” pattern is one of the important places where generative coding meets #softwareengineering systems thinking: how do you know whether you want the code that the genie created? www.patreon.com/posts/152229...
