Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?

A positive side effect of this whole AI software revolution is that knowledge is now shared freely in an easy to consume and succinct format (Skills) while before people would sell books or monetize via blog posting but in longer formats.

I experienced first hand that company culture is indeed very easy to be destroyed, either through a hiring frenzy in "hyper growth phases" or leadership changes or HR changes with different people in the hiring process

Let's talk about AI Hype and the Theory of Constraints. From a business perspective, the key metric is "lead time." The time it takes to get an idea to the point where it's producing revenue ("in the customer's hands").

Viewport behavior in Safari 26 is utterly broken. 🙄😭

Time to get Viewports into #Interop2026 because viewports on iOS have gotten only worse since I did the initial research in, *checks notes*, 2022 — github.com/web-platform...

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped — Guardian US I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

O fim de um tempo. Há muitos seres abjectos no mundo; o que é novo e terrível é que em tempos recentes nenhum ser tão abjecto teve tanto poder.

"business school did" - I agree. And perhaps this world view by technocrats that if something is technically correct then it's correct for society, even if it completely ignores foundational aspects of society and its specificities and subjectivity.

the point I attempted to make (poorly!) was that typically those bootcamps are very much focused on specific toolsets whilst "traditional" computer science or engineering cover a larger spectrum of topics and in some countries even have humanities courses

I absolutely concur with you now that you gave me more thought on it. I didn't want to make a jab to people that did/does those bootcamps.

and it should be said that many nowadays coders/programmers just did bootcamps to learn how to code but lack proper education.. oh and on that front, gotta love where killing social studies/philosophy is leading us!

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Here's a reminder that praising others'skills does not cast a shadow over your own. The more you help building a proper team around you, the more you benefit yourself as well and the safer the working environment!
