No one can agree on whether AI is the next big thing or all hype. Here’s why | CNN Business AI is either your most helpful coworker, a glorified search engine or vastly overrated depending on who you ask.

This is a pretty good write up on where we are with new AI tools. Nicely done Lisa Eadicicco @lisaeadicicco.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2026/02/19/t...

Keep hope alive.

The irony of Anna's Archive being taken down after the courts okay'd AI companies using the files indexed by Anna's Archive to train their models is wild.

The top level directory in our repo's have a ton of .json, .yaml, or .*ANOTHER_APPLICATION* config files in them. This hurts my OCD tendencies every time I see it as most apps don't let you define a custom directory. I guess thats just something I have to live with, like astigmatism.

One thing I love so far is how it stores and surfaces artifacts from agents. The walkthrough is clutch for tracing what was actually done before reviewing the lines of code that were actually changed.

I've been playing around with Antigravity over the past few days and I am pleasantly surprised!

I'm getting real tired of reading your AI-generated garbage.

An issue I've run into a few times with the #go `net/url` package is that `url.Values{}` is a map so `Values.Encode()` sorts the params before encoding. Some api's expect a specific order and and sorting breaks those API calls. The fix is to manually encode the values but I wish I didn't have to.

When we said build an app with alternative inputs, @leonnoel.com said SAY LESS.

See what he and @ericaxtech.bsky.app built together: codetv.link/wdc/s2e10

Well supposedly they left at 6 in the morning.

For business that are primarily software companies you still need people who can do the job in absence of AI. Agents and LLMs are here to stay, but vibe coding is only good for small projects and throwaway prototypes.

Screenshot of a Reddit post asking “what is the point of vibe coding if I have to pay a dev to fix it?”

I’m not anti-ai, but I am a realist. I hope AI gets to a point where software can be seen as a commodity and to some extent it is. For small projects used by an individual it’s great! The flip side is that it falls apart at scale, like most technology.

Its been a solid month for music, we got some dope drops from Clipse, JID, and Gibbs. A lot of things made it into rotation in the last 30 days.

Have you tried running the diagnostics mode on your mac? It should do a basic hardware test.

A couple of things that Adam does phenomenally are:

1. Crafting succinct and quotable phrases for complex ideas.
2. Linking ideas from any medium or domain to his personal and professional philosophy.

I appreciate his way of thinking and have learned a lot from him sharing publicly.

“Mastery matters as well, but it’s not just pure mastery. What matters for a successful career is mastering rare and valuable skills.”

I actually hate the #reddit error page. Telling the users they did something wrong when there is a 5xx error is a pretty poor user experience. Don't blame the user for your mistakes...

I’m shaking in my boots that I won’t need to take off!

It can be so confident in a made up answer…

Boo boo boo boo boo boom! Westside Gunn’s adlibs are GOATed.

One thing I'm struggling with using AI agents is managing virtual environments. I use them for most of projects but agents don't cooperate well with venvs. I tried defining `flox activate` or `mise use` in the prompt, but that has been finicky at best.

Anyone have things that work for them?

I may try to make it out to this!

This was a really good episode!

Dope! I'm a fan of your Zines!

This is succinct and well written. As backend engineers we are now designing APIs for humans, software, and agents. Different concerns for different clients.
