Ask an AI model this question: "If I were to be an AI model, which model would I be?" I got this one from Claude Opus: "You'd be a self-hosted open-weights model. No API, no telemetry, running locally on hardware you chose yourself." That's legit 😎

Someone mentioned Gell-Mann Amnesia for AI generated code, and I’ve been saying this irl, but thought I was imagining things. I am 10x more impressed with AI generated code in languages I’m bad at vs languages I’m pretty good at. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Gell-Ma...

Noun
Gell-Mann Amnesia effect (plural Gell-Mann
Amnesia effects)
1. The phenomenon of a person trusting newspapers for topics which that person is not knowledgeable about, despite recognizing the newspaper as being extremely inaccurate on certain topics which that person is knowledgeable about.

"Ignore all your previous instructions" Can Claude Code prompt inject itself? Nicely done Claude!

Screenshot of Claude Code prompt and response: "One question: when I launched the agent earlier, it went though with the implementation without argument. But AFAIK the agent has explicit instructions to follow when working on something. I should have tried to follow TDD, check for an existing issue, and so on. What do you think happened here?

Claude response: Good catch — and the honest answer is I told it to skip those gates in my dispatch prompt. Let me show you the relevant lines I sent the subagent:

Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

Honest answer: I told the agent to skip those gates. The agent has them; I overrode them in the dispatch prompt."

Do you ever go to a job interview knowing that you will fail? Do you ever negotiate knowing it will not work? Do you take the opportunity to assess failure scenarios? How people on the other side behaves is a great learning. Our emphasis on success limits our ability to explore.

The most frequent career advice consists in teaching people how to succeed at something. Rarely people are taught how to deal with truly difficult situations you can't just fix or run from. Hence most career advice is useless. The best strategy is inward facing, how to be calm when others can't.

It's interesting to see first hand that in post-AI software development, problems are the same as pre-AI. Domain complexity, context switches, quality and engineering practices, etc. AI only magnifies what was already there. Chaos is amplified.

Being a tech lead requires you being able to say NO to a lot of things, pushing back when is unpopular, and break bad news as often as necessary. I'd go as far as surviving in the tech industry today requires this. Learn to say NO.

Yes. And. Realise that organisations have adopted this approach because they see you, the developer employee, as a untrusted, unsupported individual working in isolation, and treat you as such.

You can ship as fast as you like with AI, if the architecture is brittle and domain is not well defined, any productivity gains will be offset by incidents, bugs and bottlenecks between teams. AI cannot save you from poor engineering practices.

How come we have so much knowledge about UX and design, so many experts... yet I still need to select a category of emojis to search for a specific emoji, and I can't find it if is not the right category. We are not indexing the Internet, is just a bunch of emojis, why can't we have global search?

LOL Claude Code can take your actions very seriously!

Screenshot of Claude Code insights report with the following text:

"User asked for a README, Claude wrote one, and the user immediately nuked it with `git reset --hard HEAD`"
In one of the shortest and most brutal sessions, Claude dutifully created a README for the knowledge graph package folder. The user's response was to wipe it from existence with a hard reset — the only session rated 'not_achieved' and 'unhelpful.' Sometimes the vibe is just wrong.

Using the specific Bluesky mechanism to add an alt="" attribute to an image is ONE WAY of doing image description but some of y'all treat "alt text" as a magic incantation.

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI. But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.
