And how's your day? 😅

Soundcloud GDE: AI Realität als Dev - was zählt wirklich noch? YouTube video by RichDevPoorDev

Had a great conversation with an old friend these days. We used to work together when Android just came out.
We saw a lot of changes since. AI is probably the biggest shift, though. So we talked about code quality and the future of the job as an engineer

Haha no I stopped it and ask to rollback

Just sent a well-drafted prompt for a new feature to Cursor!
Problem: sent on the wrong project! 👀
The LLM didn't care, started implementing! 🤦‍♀️

Remember, it can't reason, it won't question you!

Claude 'cannot be trusted to perform complex engineering', says AMD's AI head honcho This is reportedly since changes made in February.

Seems Claude has a bit of a crisis and needs sabbatical 🤪

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

The Mythical Agent-Month Psst. If your boss won’t invest in training you in Test-Driven Development, I’m running out-of-hours workshops on April 7 and 11 specifically for self-funding learners. £99 + UK VAT. One of the mor…

"So am I at all surprised by this revelation that – “with AI” – a team of 6 can deliver more value than a team of 26? No. It’s exactly what I’d expect, with or without AI."

The Coldest Cold Email: Oracle’s 30,000-Person Layoff Is a Preview of What’s to Come A 6 a.m. message signed “Oracle Leadership” just ended tens of thousands of careers. Here’s what it means — and what to do if you’re next.

I remember when it was a scandal that a company laid people off over Zoom. Now that seems warm and fuzzy compared to the norm today.

Oracle laid off 30K people with a 6AM email with a link to click and accept terms if they wanted severance.

OMG. It made code that uses regexp to check for negative language. Something that LLMs were architecturally designed to do.

This is hilarious when people think AI is conscious, this is AI failing the smudge test in the most hilarious way...

axios compromised on npm: maintainer account hijacked, RAT deployed Malicious axios versions 1.14.1 and 0.30.4 were published via a hijacked maintainer account. A hidden dependency deploys a cross-platform RAT. Check if you are affected and remediate now.

The amount of supply chain poisoning lately is crazy.
The beginning of the end for open source?

What a day! Claude code AND OpenAI Codex source code have been leaked!

A proposal is sth you do Before a change
A code review is sth you do After
Don't see much similarities

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*

Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.

GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

I'm preparing a talk on migrating Android apps to Kotlin Multiplatform and looking for input!

If you've already done this kind of migration - with any amount of code - what advice would you give to others? What was easy, what was hard, and what would you do differently?

When in London make sure to visit the Google office and meet Vadym or both 🤪

Today I recorded a podcast episode with Thomas from OneCode. Of course, it was all about the changes AI brings into our dev lives! Interesting topic, interesting times!

Hi AI coding fans!

Before you talk about TDD, refactoring, modular design or Continuous Integration, maybe find out what they are?

kthxbye

No surprise tbh, what a waste of money 🫠
