I have a rare possibility of working with #software engineers that would rather have inconsistent UI than use a color named "container" for text. These people would love to be called "product engineers".

Sounds like a regular case of being raised in a religious household.

One thing I realized is that clanker reviewing code never suggests alternative solutions. It won't go into "you shouldn't be doing this at all" territory. And yet, AI bros will tell you that it can replace a person.

Slopification at work continues. Today a bright new idea appeared: if we get broken main then, rather than reverting and asking questions later, let's ask clanker to assess if it can fix the build. It doesn't merge the patch yet, but given that nobody bothers to review code anymore - does it matter?

between the catastrophic PHP vuln and the intermediate cert vuln and AI models that can turn a proof of concept into a bot net in like 10mins we’re in for a wild 24 hours

"Oh, look! AI didn't kill us in the end, and I got richer - that's what I call a win-win!"

We are soon going to have to come to grips with the fact that this shit is asbestos for the mind

they can't act on their own, they cannot go rogue. they are computer programs that do what they are programmed to do. they're as responsible for their actions as a grenade is for exploding after somebody pulls the pin

A cargo cult does not stop being a cargo cult if somebody decides to respond to the calls by supplying goods. The cult followers still do not understand how transportation works, even if they have gotten the effects they wanted. #TotallyUnrelated

Last two weeks at work only deepened my #depression caused by being surrounded by Slop Bros. I guess the end state will be zero supervision of whatever the newest model churns out, resulting in code that is repulsive to read. The collapse of this whole charade can't come soon enough.

Ok, time for the last one #wintermute run.

Maybe it'll actually lead to better security practices? Lol, no it won't.

VERY IMPORTANT NEWS: It’s Fat Bear Week! I do love a fat bear 🐻 explore.org/fat-bear-week

#backtowork, but I need another 2 weeks of rest now 😴

Software developers think "if AI automates coding, I will be able to spend less time on producing widgets, and more time on strategy and architecture." Bosses think "if AI automates coding, I can get my devs to produce 100x more widgets."

Whew, I finally finished #Signalis, good fun. My eyes are probably plotting revenge right now because of all the red flashes I subjected them to.

A really excellently hype-deflating explanation by @doctorow.pluralistic.net of the same terrain Bengio discusses. pluralistic.net/2026/09/12/g...

Capitalism is the reason this technology is in use. Without capitalism the generative AI would be like creating bullets for non-existent guns. There's no single "innovation", it's shaped by the political system.

I love how many people in the comments admit that they are also putting asbestos in their products 😔

I want everyone to stop saying AI is here to stay, AI is inevitable, all that crap. It's only "inevitable" if we all agree it is. This is how consent gets manufactured, and I'll have no part in it. Either I will piss on Claude's grave, or Claude will piss on mine. No compromise, no surrender.

Asbestos also works pretty well, but the path forward is already charted: remove it.

Something for @wolfenrain.dev, so that he gets it right next time 😘

There's some improvement over last year @flutterfriends.dev, definitely. The band's called "Dessert"

Stockholm, I am in you

Post something random or you'll have an awful September

Found it!

What's next? Cars so realistic that you won't steal them?

Looks like I should be worried about engineering quality at Google. (Pro tip: you absolutely don't need to review code less diligently because there's a lot of it).

Same here, baby. Same.

Finished the @ironnestgame.bsky.social campaign yesterday, and while overall this is a great game (esp for autistics 😊), I expected some kind of twist - machine being taken over by anti-monarchists or something 🤔. There's still half of the map to explode^H^Hre! Anyway, 4/5, good fun.

I wonder how this will be spun into moderate success of LLMic coding.
