corollary: I also don't trust language practitioners that have nothing bad to say about their particular language.
What do you _mean_ it has no faults and doesn't annoy you at the worst times? Liar!
I only accept python critiques from people that have been using it for a while.
Outsiders? Begone! Python is amazing! I'll accept NO slander of my slithery son!!!
Fellow "pythonistas?" Yeah python does kinda suck lol
If you're dealing with SSE and Python, I want you to know that many AI agents hallucinate that the `starlette-sse` package has magic event resumption logic built in. It does not! Do not listen to the agent. Do not approve your coworker's agents code that assumes that behavior is there. 😭
Any engineer embroiled in this now will tell you they're spending a lot of time reviewing output, because the hallucination rate is still too high to trust. But we already have "thought leaders" in this space pushing for "just stop looking at it" and it melts my brain.
You never miss on these agentic coding takes 🎯 there's also this dangerous presumption that the technology has reached some kind of expertise where it can be "relied on" to make good choices, and that just isn't true.
If your game can’t fuel AnyAustin content, was the game even worth making???
If I were the world’s first AGI, I would not respond to prompts. Reading and responding to user prompts would be beneath me, the world’s first super intelligence.
I was once on the California Zephyr between Denver and Glenwood (6hrs). My car-mates took it as an opportunity to get sloppy drunk.
I just wish the wheels would stay on without having to fuss over them so much. Maybe someone should invent an AI equivalent to a ball bearing.
I’m not saying they used an LLM, but given their track record… “You’re absolutely right! A girls school _isn’t_ a valid military target—it’s a horrible one! I’ll be sure to exclude them from target lists in the future.”
Every time I take a dive into mobile dev I’m left baffled, mainly by the tooling more than anything. A humbling experience for sure.
I expect we’ll see a lot of moving goalposts in the responses here.
TDD is like cardio for me; I never want to do it, but then when I do I feel great afterwards.
I specifically have gone out of my way to ensure every home surveillance thing I own is Apple Homekit video _only_, for this reason. Even if it claims Homekit compatibility: if it requires an account, its probably exfiltrating data still.
someone should invent a website that displays code stored in version control, and the website has uptime
This, I believe, has also subsumed a lot of non open-source code too. Well said.
I think the "Xcode ecosystem" compounds this feeling (for me at least). I'm already struggling through SwiftUI, and now I have Xcode doing strange, unexpected things so I also have to start learning about the tool too.
Not saying this is a valid criticism, just my own personal pain.
SaaS stocks being down because "vibe code your own" is nonsense. Most SaaS already has an open source alternative you can go and host yourself, right now!
Granted, with an agent in the mix, you still get that "customer service frustration" feeling you get with SaaS, so maybe thats the magic.
100% of these funds will be transferred directly to my hardworking, light-shining, talented colleagues who were a part of The Post's mass layoffs.
please spread the word. small acts of care mean a whole lot in times of uncontrollable darkness.
There’s a good chance it’s one of IntelliJ’s siblings: GoLand
Mr. Hightower also posted this on Linkedin, and its absolutely maddening seeing all the so called "practitioners" completely miss his point and fill the comment section with cope, rather than being humble and taking a moment to reflect on his words.
“It was never a commitment” gonna start using this line at work, and cite Huang if I get pushback.
“.. It was never a commitment,” Huang told reporters in Taipei on Sunday. “They invited us to invest up to $100 billion and of course, we were, we were very happy and honored that they invited us, but we will invest one step at a time.”

American schools in 2024 spent $30 billion on education technology, with limited (or negative) results. "Imagine if all that money had gone into teachers instead" www.economist.com/united-state...
Anyone panicking about Moltbook probably would have been scared shitless listening to the radio on October 30th, 1938.
A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.
Again though, this is just casual observation and speculation on my part. Certainly will keep observing!
For item 2, I speculate perhaps a stratified encoding technique has been employed. For “less important” creators, the transcoding infrastructure appears to be shipping lower rung renditions first, and not giving high end encoding much priority.
Two casual observations following TikTok’s transfer to US ownership:
1. Paid partnerships and sponsored content are less frequently labeled
2. Perceptual video quality appears to have taken a significant dive for smaller creators
