DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY

seeing all of my coding heros post stuff like this: not particularly reassuring!

Of course Kim Jong-Un was a brutal, oppressive tyrant who terrorized his people, enslaving them in a grotesque death cult for generations. But before our cool, courageous warfighters killed him and all those babies in Operation Sigma Grindset, Congress was not notifie

he encapsulates an important skepticism that everyone with a functioning moral compass must have, but sadly he's so wrong so consistently he's doing more harm than good

Ed is a lifestyle huckster who doesn't understand the most basic concepts of software development. he once argued with me that OpenAI is failing because they began offering spot-compute instances, which he thought meant they "couldn't guarantee your server would stay up" lolll

That may not be satisfying or reassuring if you truly love coding, but at least this perspective can help you make informed decisions about whether or not that organization is going to make choices that respect the things you value."

major league OOF.

"In that system-centric view, the programming language, and indeed all of the code itself, doesn’t really matter; the person who is productive at causing all of that code to be created reliably and efficiently is the person who is going to be valued, or at least who is most likely to be kept around.

I'm not even going to pretend this kind of software design is going to make the tech ecosystem at large worse.. when php made the web more accessible to non-programmers it ended up making things better (if less efficient). but as a guy who just enjoys coding, being a PM of 7 ai agents is my hell.

I read this a few days ago and haven't stopped thinking about it since. ai slop images aside, I am truly disheartened with the direction my profession is headed. not that I'm blaming the author—he's probably an early harbinger of things to come—but I became a software engineer to avoid this shit.

30 years later this graphic design still slaps

This was a fun story to write, stick around to the end for a speed run through the past 500 million years of climate history

no appliances in my house should ever make any noise for any reason at all. I do not need boops when I set my oven to 375. I do not need beeps when the microwave is done cooking something. I do not need to hear yankee doodle dandy when the dishes are done. everything just shut up

I maintain fb opening up to non .edu accounts was a mistake and is part of how we ended up in the land of minion memes and Ai-generated sob stories.

ah, a fellow dodger stadium enjoyer!

she hasn't been sleeping great recently, if you couldn't tell

while burping her, my six week old just turned to me and said "the world you grew up in—the world in which Detlef Schrempf played for the Seattle SuperSonics—no longer exists. it will never exist again. never forget what they've taken from you." wondering what she meant by this..?

Louie get a good look at THAT

at cafe gratitude in LA all the menu items are "affirmations" and when I tried to avoid saying it by just ordering "the enchiladas" the server said "You Are Bountiful! got it!" smdh

1000% - they bought out the foundry I used to work for and have essentially been taking a blowtorch to 20 years of good creative direction since day one
