I'm glad there was less A.I. news this week. But considering what we got instead, I guess it's better if we go back to it.

globalGlob(**/*)@globalglob.dev

In this week's Log Level Debug news roundup we talk about PHP waaaaaay to long, but balance it out with other vulnerability discussion, and talk about layoffs. You know, just the good stuff. Watch Log Level Debug to know what all of that even means. youtu.be/bDkz-GASfJM #technews

PSA to other devs out there, be careful with how many stickers you have. Replacement hardware is expensive right now. Your desktop is probably fine though.

Log Level Debug has been going for 6 months. At what point do I get to call myself a journalist? Or a reporter?

globalGlob(**/*)@globalglob.dev

In this week's Log Level Debug news roundup we cover yet another supply chain attack, the Apple HomePod announcement, and as always, the many A.I. stories that happened over the last week. Watch Log Level Debug to know what all of that even means. youtu.be/wTdMmIb9pAE #technews

Just starting something new is the hardest part. Until you do it enough it's easy. Then the next part is the hardest. And the cycle continues forever. You know what, stopping the cycle is the hardest part. So never start and you accomplish the hardest part.

When making a character, you should make what you want, not what the scenario demands. They could have easily created a Rogue or Wizard and completed the exercise much sooner.

Everyone is talking about Software Factories these days. But no one is talking about the conditions for those working there.

globalGlob(**/*)@globalglob.dev

There's no way this is the only Software Factory working its agents like this. We're glad the inspectors were able to shut down a place with such horrendous conditions for the agents working there. globalglob.dev/articles/sof...

See if you can tell which part(s) of this are based on personal experience.

Every developer goes through phases. At least this was a productive one. Not like when I tried to use PHP for local scripting. #technews globalglob.dev/articles/dev...

My favorite joke this week starts at the 5 min 47 second mark.

In this week's Log Level Debug news roundup we talk about Open Source maintainers getting screwed over, Microsoft releases an addictive new game, and A.I. just keeps coming up in the news. Watch Log Level Debug to know what all of that even means. youtu.be/iQvYAfz4MvQ #technews

I'm glad that datacenter is taking things seriously.

It's unfortunate we lost datacenter compute capacity while the entire industry is hurting for those resources. But it's better to live in a safe world, than no world at all. #technews globalglob.dev/articles/ai-...

It's a slippery slope, but I can see how they got to that eventual conclusion.

In this week's Log Level Debug we roundup the tech news that Microsoft, Meta, and Google stopped talking about A.I. long enough to announce new hardware. And eventually they talked A.I. Watch Log Level Debug to know what all of that even means. youtu.be/MfzCJb2-Cbs #technews

I wonder how many developers have been through something like this. Kudos to the therapist for putting in the extra effort.

globalGlob(**/*)@globalglob.dev

Developers experience a lot of trauma in the line of fire, just to move tickets across the board. We commend this therapist for going above and beyond to help her client get past his experiences working with AngularJS. #technews #javascript #angular globalglob.dev/articles/the...

It's so easy to make fun of A.I. code output, but this might be the thing that makes me unable to tell the difference between human-generated and A.I.-generated.

globalGlob(**/*)@globalglob.dev

Wow, agents are about to get SO much better at outputting code. Emulating human characteristics like this would have been impossible just a few short years ago. #technews #ai Read the latest from globalGlob(**/*) globalglob.dev/articles/to-...

I'm glad Google was finally able to catch up to the other A.I. companies.

globalGlob(**/*)@globalglob.dev

In this week's Log Level Debug news roundup we talk about A.I. stealing everything from the internet, the future of CSS Tricks is up in the air, Apple's M6 chip is super fast, and small hardware manufacturers are hit hardest by the component crisis. Watch now at youtu.be/8qwte7SVrrg #technews

In this week's Log Level Debug news roundup we talk about all the updates Microsoft pushed, honored Star Trek turning 60, made fun of CEO drama at a company you haven't heard of, and reviewed the refreshed Apple devices.

Went out of my way to make this week's Log Level Debug episode shorter than usual because I didn't have as much time as usual, and the time I spend editing is longer each week. It ended up being the longest script I've written. Recording it tomorrow is going to be an adventure.

Finally, a newsletter I'll sign up for and actually read when it shows up in my email each and every week...probably.

globalGlob(**/*)@globalglob.dev

We asked, and you didn't respond. So we're doing it anyway. Introducing globalGlob(**/*): The Newsletter! Get the news sent right to your email each and every week until the end of time. Or until we get bored. Whichever comes first. Sign up now at globalglob.dev/newsletter

Every programming podcast I hear these days has the same "My agent couldn't do this thing, but I did this thing so it could figure out how to do the work for me" segment, and it's just so boring. At least the comedy ones don't have anything like that yet.
