Was it captured on video?

A screenshot of iOS messages showing a conversation with a user named Mom: “Please come back to the group chat. We are making thanksgiving plans and we need your input.” “As I said in the group chat, you shouldn't be using iMessagw. Signal is better Opsec. Once everyone starts taking that seriously you know where to find me.” “Gam Gam is 92. She barely knows how to use the phone she has.” “She needs to adapt”

I don’t know. But when infuse to work as a dev I came really close.

I loved working with legacy systems. Not necessarily only refactoring but improving before I added features.

”Working efficiently with legacy code” was like a holy book for me.

Love it!

Use what works!

By pushing the price of producing code to near zero we somehow forgot all the other costs and risks involved in building product.

Read this before you vibe👇

"That's quite expensive. We'll just build our own."

"Your library doesn't do what we need. Fix it now. For free."

"Why do you want budget to pay for free software?"

"You said this was free! How dare you charge money for the latest version!"

Sound familiar? Help us fix it:

I love to do this!

When I was running an apprentice program I let them implement dependency injection ”by hand” - then I showed them the frameworks. Did the same with OR mapping.

The ”WTF did you let us suffer” faces were priceless! 😂

If I had to identify a list of skills in high impact engineers, it would include:

- ecological awe
- intellectual humility
- respect for the complexity of unfamiliar problems
- cross functional communication
- resilience engineering
- marketing and sales

(“Technical skills” aren’t in my top ten)

I haven’t tried DeepAgents - will have to take it for a spin.

I think we are lacking a general purpose (non-coding) harness that does a good job. I had high hopes for Claude Desktop but Sondra it hasn’t delivered.

I’m just messing around but getting decent mileage. I’m sure if the people building this for a living took a stab at it they would create something, at least, 10x better.

I’m not sure it can (or will be regulated) I think we need better harnesses.

I’ve played around with building my own assistant. It has skills and memory and uses far fewer tokens than off the shelf harness.

It also uses model switching so roughly 90% of calls go through a smaller (cheaper) model.

”Reading the docx skill”

This is the worst feature in Claude desktop. Everything I do loads the docx skill and sometimes even produces docx when I don’t want to.

Tell me this is not a token scam!

We are moving backwards when it comes to diversity and inclusion in parts of the tech community.

Here is a fantastic post from @hanneslowette.net on how the Microsoft MVP summit is seeing less representation and how we, collectively, lose out.

No, the verdict in the ‘social media addiction’ lawsuit was not a win against big tech, it creates a legal precedent for mass surveillance, censorship, the total destruction of the open web.

Loveley little game! This type of games are fantastic in terms of game play design.

To make something so simple really good is an art!

What is the success criteria for your PoC?

When generating code it’s easy to get stuck in - ”just one more feature”. It’s harder to stop and reflect wether the PoC we built is something we should continue pouring resources into.

Set up success criteria before you start building.

When I used to code nobody asked me for reports.

Writing reports is definitely RAGE WORK for me.

I sitt, for 8h, hyper focused, punching my keyboard. Don’t eat, don’t go to the bathroom - angrier for each keystroke. Until the report is done.

This is definitely the worst part of doing organizational work as a consultant.

10 years from now, who even knows what part of software development will still be a human activity? Nobody Knows.

LLMs are the weirdest hammer. They make people hallucinate that everything is a nail.

I'm not arguing that nails don't exist - they do - but we also have screws and a bunch of other things where hammers do a really poor job.

Jag lyssnar ändå en del på hiphop men den här var ny för mig. Bra grejor! Tack för tipset.

Ooooh måste lyssna! Spelade det i grundskolan (tills jag ”råkade” formatera några datorer och inte var välkommen i datorsalen längre)

I know you need a Lizard with a hat today!

Oh sweet Claude.

”I have some questions”
”Ok, shoot..”
”Well actually, I don’t”

All while Claude Code silently cranks out the next feature in the background.

The future will be weird.

I’m listening to Stolen Focus by Johann Hari and I can’t stop wondering how the use of LLMs will increase information flow and further destroy our attention.

How we are now truly doomed to just listen to echos of ghosts and have even less time for original though.
