When I was young and watching shows depicting software engineering, I thought it was not “a lead developer” but “elite developer”. Ever since that I wanted to become an elite developer. Now I am a lead developer, but it just doesn’t hit the spot.

Great, my favorite “Matt said this async stuff is fine” argument dropped.

“Every day I wake up around 7:30 and go for a 2 hour, 10-14 kilometers long walk where I focus on breath exercises” is a very LinkedIn, onanistic way of saying I have to walk and sing so my kid sleeps in the stroller.

Code review is only a bottleneck if your goal is bragging about how many lines of code you generated and pushed to production.

But if your goal is revenue or happy customers, it might be the last bottleneck you should remove.

Bottlenecks only matter when they block the goal.

To be clear, I’m not saying an angry mob should quarter someone without due trial, just pointing out that them knowing its not *completely* out of the question does convey a little something or another.

Yes, this is about Epstein and his clients.

Modern societies went through numerous changes to arrive where we are now but I think the most important one was the moment when horrible people could stop worrying about an angry mob coming to their house with pitch forks and quartering them.

The thing about the supposed software engineering AI takeover is that when you leave social media for a few days, you completely forget it’s supposed to be happening. Almost as if it’s only happening here and not in the real world.

Giving AI uncontrolled access to your terminal is certainly a choice. Not one I would be willing to make, but you do you honey.

I hate that it’s possible to OWN an ebook and OWN a reader and yet NOT BE ALLOWED TO READ THE EBOOK ON THE READER

If you think Bluesky is full of dumb AI takes and predictions(I do), don’t even think about going on LinkedIn.

Given how they can only be produced by exploitation of workers from the global majority no system including any of the big LLMs in their production can ever be called "fair".

"Fair LLMs" of the size required to do the tasks people want LLMs to do (badly) do not exist.

The String? is not redundant tho, without the type specification it would resolve to a non-optional String.

the president is a child rapist and the entire administration and republican party is working to help cover it up and it's not even a conspiracy theory, it's all right out in the open

I support tech that shifts power from billionaires to individuals. That's why I love open source.

I'm against tech that shifts power from individuals to billionaires. Like LLMs, mass surveillance, and autonomous weapons.

Tech is always political. We, the people, decide which tech lives and dies.

This constant need to change things is why modern software is so shit.

There are obviously many environmental and moral arguments why this is complete BS, but also, why should you ever bend backwards to find things to change? If you can’t think about something that needs changing, you shouldn’t change anything.

“If you don’t know what to tell Claude to do in your codebase, you can tell ChatGPT to give you 50 ideas” is an actual take I just heard and it’s probably THE dumbest thing this week.

Unpopular opinion: dependency management libraries exist only due to prevailing bad cross-feature dependency design.

Imagining an ICE officer who *raided the concentration camp so children couldn’t write more letters about how bad being in a concentration camp is* going home tonight and being asked “how was your day” and going “yeah pretty good”
