Slowly?

Yep. There's a reason I only run agents on a Virtual Machine running on top of a machine I can reformat on a moment's notice.

Yes. Every comment or README (or any other files) of every dependency, and sub-dependency and sub-sub-dependency... ad infinitum. Along with any docs, man pages or examples about the code or APIs that the Agent looks at online. Anything an Agent even looks at is a potential attack vector.

I also asked for help on this, and got three wonderful assistants to make it clear what coding LLMs could actually do - Nik Suresh of I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again, Carl Brown of @internetofbugs.com, and Colt Voege, who wrote the recent “no, AI won’t 10x your engineers” blog.

Given that I am typing this reply on one(& use it as my daily driver), I can 💯% confirm that "the foldable Motorola phones" are, in fact, "cool as shit"

It's possible that Grammarly has lost it's damn freaking mind.

Apple World Wide Developers Conference starting with an extended advertisement for F1: The Movie says so. so much about how Apple has deprioritized developers. development, and software in general.

Hope you find it useful, or at least interesting.

Thanks.

I wonder if there's more than one. I wouldn't be surprised.

Unfortunately, though, aside from being able to say it's one of the few biggest national banks in the US, I'm not allowed to be more specific.

Yeah. Someone would have to be a very particular type of person to get the intersection of references. Which would leave out a whole lot of the potential listeners... But that does say something about you and me.

That's a good, solid, useful title, but I'm not gonna lie - I was low key thinking "LLMK Ultra" was a cooler one.

The Truth About Software Development with Carl Brown Podcast Episode · Better Offline · 06/04/2025 · 58m

Here's the latest episode of Better Offline. I'm joined by @internetofbugs.com to talk about the realities of software development, what coding LLMs can actually do, and how the media gets it wrong about software engineering at large.

no they haven't

Photo of the bracket connecting my Canon R50 Camera to the Elgato Teleprompter that I use for both a webcam and YouTube recording setup.

The only thing is - I really hated the "let the teleprompter hang from the camera lens " thing, so I got this cheap bracket to connect the two: www.amazon.com/dp/B01HH5NB2Y

Picture of my Elgato Teleprompter next to my monitor. The teleprompter screen has a screenshot of a recent Zoom call, and the monitor next to it shows the text content of this post.

That's probably the best piece of kit I've ever got for my channel. I love mine so much.

AI Has Us Between a Rock and a Hard Place YouTube video by Internet of Bugs

Just locked up Carl from The Internet of Bugs as a guest on an upcoming Better Offline. It's time to do an episode about the reality of LLMs and what a software engineer actually does. Coming up in like two weeks probably?

It’s funny how accurate this is. Also sad how accurate this is 😅
