Where things stand with the Department of War A statement from Dario Amodei

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?”

“Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences” is a genuinely stunning statement given current events both at home and abroad

Github... come on, get a grip y'all. I know you don't need to hear that daily outages are not a good look but... they're just not a good look.

For example:

"These guys are my bros" = "I would lay down my life for the homies"

"Those guys are bros" = "They are quite possibly the worst human beings alive"

Lemme clear this up:

Bros = bad

Your bros = good

I do not like the devaluing of the *craft* of programming.

Don't like it one bit.

Meta and "privacy" don't even live on the same planet. Anybody who assumed otherwise is just willfully ignorant at this point.

The more I learn about how engineers are using AI agents, the more depressed I get.

This is soul-sucking joyless middle-management stuff. This tech has turned passionate engineers into glorified project managers.

This sucks.

Phew, userstyles to the rescue. npmx is actually usable now

Apple, I am begging you. Release an external standalone TouchID dongle, or at very least add an external TouchID sensor that can be used when the laptop is in clamshell mode.

So I was kinda meh about the God of War TV show

Until I found out who the showrunner is.

Nobody's worried about the skin condition. If anything we're hoping for the worst possible outcome.

I'll always cherish my years at Stack Overflow, but man... I don't even know wth is going on over there anymore

iOS voice dictation seems to have gotten a lot worse lately

Ahhh right. It's the monospace fonts everywhere. Makes it painful to visually scan.

Something about the npmx.dev visual styling makes it uncomfortable to use. Haven't quite nailed down exactly why yet.

I keep clicking "Show fewer shorts" and yet YT never does.

It's always been hard to write good code. Fortunately, it's also always been somewhat hard to write shitty code.

Nowadays it's still hard to produce good code. But shitty code is basically free.

TBH, I just have no interest in reading or reviewing AI generated code.

Like... at all. It's like I have an aversion to it, actually. I want to ask a person why they chose one pattern over the other. I want to understand the thought process behind the code. I want to know *why*.

I'm a million percent NOT on board with the Iran thing.

But Russia? Sit this one out.

Unless there's a good reason not to, pick the boring, existing solution that is already in-use at your workplace. Be considerate of your coworkers.

Don't build using "the hot new thing" just because you want to. The choices you make impact your fellow engineers.

You're a professional, act like it.
