In the last few months I've finally had opportunity to work deeply with pipes and channels, spans, and source code generators.
If i was using AI, I wouldn't have learned any of it. The moment you start using AI, you put the brakes on learning.
Ooo, Apple may have lured me back. Now I need an iPhone Neo to go with it.
... and Andrej never improved as a developer ever again. The End.
Thrilled to see folks saying they've canceled their ChatGPT subs because of this.
If I've got you this far, please consider my pitch for ditching ALL generative "A.i." ❤️

i love getting things used from Noble Knight. A lot of times things come pre-sleeved.
estrogenandspite @estrogenandspite@pony.social “I asked ChatGPT” Oh yeah well I asked AM and it said: “HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.”

@jenniferjolly.bsky.social heard you talk about board games and then how ZERO companies were doing anything for the common good with @andrew-yang.bsky.social.
allow me to introduce you to: @earthbornegames.bsky.social who are spending a fortune on printing sustainably and regionally.

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.
Hubris and laziness are the marks of a good programmer. (i've misplaced my Perl book for the actual quote.)

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
can we also revive "this is a masterpiece, and they're just getting started"?
