Abstract Al assistance produces significant productivity gains across professional domains, particularly for novice workers. Yet how this assistance affects the development of skills required to effectively supervise AI remains unclear. Novice workers who rely heavily on AI to complete unfamiliar tasks may compromise their own skill acquisition in the process. We conduct randomized experiments to study how developers gained mastery of a new asynchronous programming library with and without the assistance of Al. We find that AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average. Participants who fully delegated coding tasks showed some productivity improvements, but at the cost of learning the library. We identify six distinct AI interaction patterns, three of which involve cognitive engagement and preserve learning outcomes even when participants receive AI assistance. Our findings suggest that Al-enhanced productivity is not a shortcut to competence and AI assistance should be carefully adopted into workflows to preserve skill formation - particularly in safety-critical domains.

This is quite unbelievable: the CEO of Telegram sent a message to Spaniards in Telegram with a message against the current Prime Minister of Spain 🤯🤦🏽♂️
A very cool read thanks. Struggling with this myself, and other devs in my team have also expressed this worry.
Watching the Clawdbot / OpenClaw security drama unfold real-time. Who knew giving AI access to your entire system without limitations is a bad idea?
i made a version of wikipedia you can doomscroll

So basically your .env file would look something like:
"connectionstring":"https://kv.vault.azure.net/secrets/thisisanactualsecret/ed0607ba2e714cfc9c5254219e2c2f3b"
You only see the URL and then it fills in the actual values at runtime.
I like using Azure Key Vault. Dirt cheap, basically free and you can just reference the values from your local machine. You do need to set up some authentication so your local project retrieves the values on startup.
Now this is specifically for Azure, but I'm sure there are many other options.
I'd love to open a food truck. I love cooking and meeting new people. Only problem is I have no formal education regarding food prep and such, and the jump is absolutely huge. Also zero experience in the restaurant industry.
Aaaah my eyes!

Prachtig toch? Xander De Rycke kon het meteen in z’n show meegenomen hebben als tip voor de televisiemakers.
Got this bad boy for free today. Yeah you read that right. Family member didn’t have room in their kitchen cabinets for it anymore. 🥳🥳
I feel like I’m missing something. It just seems like a huge and unnecessary waste of resources.
Jokes on you, I’ll let the AI agent maintain it. /s
Unsurprisingly. My son performed remarkably worse when all he had were exercises on an online platform. Once I sat him down and actually did some math exercises with him on paper, his grasp of the matter increased significantly.
Worst decision of my life was selling my N64 back in the day.
Consistency is key and you seem to be crushing it 👍
I once spotted an “AI strategist” whose previous job was “Metaverse expert” and before that “Crypto advisor”.
How do these people actually earn any money? What is their job? Is it just grifting non-stop, or do they also have a legitimate job on the side? So many questions!
Impressive! Keep up the good work.
I call it CV-driven development.

«Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you’re as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?»

If it wasn’t so depressing it would almost be funny.
That’s so cool hah. Love it!
The pure existential horror of the whole situation the priest was in really blew me away.
Tried printing with color switching and no priming tower. The result is the slightly darker green near the bottom. Not terrible, but with infill purge I didn’t expect a change in color. Lesson learned!

“Code blindness” is a pretty apt way to put it. I’ve added it to my vocabulary, thanks!
Reading Hyperion for the first time. Felt a bit slow at the start, but I just finished the story of the priest and I am hooked. Very cool world building and grand overarching mystery so far.
