Is it wrong to prompt inject colleagues who are just AI Proxies?

AI coding - The agent and I get to build a shared context. The humans on the team are left to read the docs. The humans in the system can't comprehend the influx of stuff.

I've been largely reinspired by the productivity I get from AI Models. I've been a deliberate part of the late majority (I feel like too late now). I've had so many projects where the goals have exceeded my time and my concentration.

I'm strongly disliking talking to people who are filtering all their responses through an LLM. Maybe they're learning something, but it's just deeply unsatisfying to me as a human being, trying to talk to another human being

For me it's important to write. To understand the thing, I must be able to reason about it and explain it in my own sentences and paragraphs. Revealing my own inconsistencies, assumptions and misconceptions. The internal discourse is important to avoid falling into perilously deep cognitive debt.

6k line PRs are the norm now?

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Oh wow, ditched my linksys router today for a Ubiquiti Dream Router 7. It’s bloody brilliant

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons. Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

Spent my evening watching go videos on go channel patterns. I love Python, but in 2016 I wish I’d made the choice to spend more time with go.

JIRA JIRA Inhibits Real Alignment

Managing IAM Permissions just a officially a lot easier aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh... This looks like most of what I need from the fluggo iam scraper.

If you’ve ever felt like asking for help would cost too much, this one’s for you.

Just found the AWS cheat code URL that redirects ARNs to their console page. This is what my go project was doing. I got to learn a little go, no longer need to maintain hundreds of case statements to map resource types to urls. And I should get this out much quicker. Everyone’s a winner!

ngl - I’m a little bit in love with golang

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

This does not mean that execs should never be im the details!! "Hire great people and get out of their way" is horrendous, disastrous advice! You need to hire great people and create alignment. You have to be in the details together deep enough, LONG enough to do that!

ok switched over to zen browser after firefox broke their "never have, never will" promise

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

They need him to be a genius because they cannot handle what it means for them to be tricked by a fool.

ooof second time losing to the boss blind in balatro that requires you play the same hand and a Flush != Straight Flush - I should really learn my lesson

was just taking a look at why using gio to launch desktop files fails when Terminal=true 14 years of history! gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-...

#AWS #CloudFormation now supports stack refactoring! Super excited about this launch!! 🚀 aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

looks like we're getting very close to building zig projects on ashai linux github.com/ziglang/zig/... - the amount of work put in since I started watching this is great

Oh wow, started reading @andrewhl.bsky.social Facilitating Software Architecture this morning and this first chapter articulates my lived experience with the practice of software architecture.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I just set my terminal font size to 14, and fucking love it
