Some people's jobs inherently benefit from heavier AI usage, while others not at all, and everything in between. Right now it feels like we are still stuck in the 0s and 1s of you're either all in on AI, or you're not. And that's not how it should be forced to work.

I used to say most data and tech problems are people problems. Well, as it turns out, I think most AI problems are actually people problems too.

I wonder how many social posts from people attempting to grow their accounts started with an AI prompt something like "what is some good ragebait about [topic] that also won't get me canceled".

Not every cool little idea will add value, and that is okay. Not everything needs to be made or monetized.

Snowflake acquired Select Star. As startups are getting eaten by the big companies that they often parter with (many such cases), they might as well try to get acquired by them instead. Obvious things are obvious. Corporate seduction as a strategy.

Construct validity is the missing dark matter in big tech research about developers. Once you see it, you never unsee it.

You know, I put effort into sounding coherent and like I have a general grasp on the societal norms of conversational etiquette when sending an email, even to people that I am more casual with. But maybe I should try less.

How do I explain to recruiters that I still have a very strong understanding of data setups from implementing a tool during proofs of concept with multiple customers' stacks, versus if I only had experience implementing one set of tools and their processes at one company at a time?

Horrible phrasing. Professionals in the filed should stop personifying AI, even subtly. It is not helping.

Endometriosis surgery number 3 is scheduled to remove the endo from and make repairs to my abdominal muscle. I am one step closer to being able to do heavy lifting again without feeling like I am being stabbed, and generally being afraid to use my core for anything, lest I receive a jolt of pain.

Maxime Beauchemin open-sourced Agor today. It is a "Figma for AI coding", a spacial canvas where you can manage AI agents visually. He thought of all the things, too (MCP, scheduler, mobile prompting, etc). Super sick. agor.live

Lots of experts in my domain (computer programming) completely fell for it—the fallacious logic goes something like “it works for some of what I’m doing, and my field is the hardest of all human endeavors, therefore it must work 100% in all those lesser fields”

People that are still completely locked in on their product and 60+ hr/week job, blathering on about this or that tech for multiple posts per day, are a reason why the lack of empathy in tech has gotten us where we are today - filled with a glut of products pushed on people that no one asked for.

The best marketing doesn't mean the best product. I have written about this more at length before when it comes to finding or learning data tooling. The same thing is true now with marketing around "agentic AI". Finding the holy grail that lives up to its promises is no easy task.
