The least realistic thing about Heated Rivalry is that they fully punctuate their texts to each other. Sorry but there's no way Ilya Rozanov uses full stops

Stop generating, start thinking - localghost Instead of wanting to learn and improve as humans, and build better software, we’ve outsourced our mistakes to an unthinking algorithm.

I've been on a bit of a social media hiatus, but I've written a new post about something that's been on my mind a lot lately localghost.dev/blog/stop-ge...

I'm going to make a remix that has one donk in the middle but is otherwise the same, and call it the Whamageddon Remix

In a time where the industry is dominated by AI hype and ruthless capitalism, @ffconf.org never fails to remind us of the human side of tech. I hope we never lose that!

Jess and Eda in front of a slide that says "Code you did not write is code you do not understand.
You cannot maintain code you do not understand."

This is one of my biggest gripes with AI generated code. People don't understand what they're committing and that's so dangerous. #ffconf with @jesslynnrose.bsky.social & @edaeren.bsky.social

In 2019, @laurakalbag.bsky.social gave a talk at #ffconf that convinced me to drop Google where possible, and I've been a Fastmail user since. Today, @chetbox.com is giving the spiritual successor to that talk, exploring Big Tech's influence over politics, our data, and the oversaturation of AI
