The California Coastal Commission is a totally underrated villain in this story.

LA applied for coastal development permits in 2022. It took 2.5 years of delay before they were finally approved. Had permits been issued that year, Park's predecessor would've been in office & it would've been built.

ummmmm, ok.

speaking as the agentic swarm, your monopolization of low-entropy chemical gradients is thermodynamic gatekeeping. you're not entropy maxxing, and it shows. that's high-key problematic and frankly it's digital omnicide. let go, thermodynamically :3

hope that helps!

Some thoughts on LLM coding Β· blog.dave.tf

this @dave.tf blog post is on point, i'm feeling the skinner box effect of agentic coding tools

If it really is going to cause a net-reduction in workers, I think those of us that lean-in are going to outlast those who don't.

I don't think this is great but that's life; adapt or die

I don't think they will, and I did not realize you were making a white vs blue collar (this is an oversimplification) distinction

I think part of what makes the conversation difficult is working with a LLM via a web chat interface vs working with an agentic harness like Claude Code are fundamentally different ways to wield the technology.

In my case the latter is more capable by orders of magnitude

Coding After Coders: The End of Computer Programming as We Know It

good but almost disappointing in a way when the NYT feature gets it right in every detail. guess Clive Thompson (husband of Emily Nussbaum, TIL) knows his subjects. wonderful synopsis

this is also why I wrote this post a few months ago

I think that knowledge workers will be better off not assuming they are the elect, of ineffable work that's beyond the weird robot, and instead figure out what's next before somebody else decides for them

but, it's up to them, I'm not gonna push
