Don't they know, the only people on your side are both US political parties, the entire UK, most world religions, the world's most influential billionaires (trllionaires?), the police state apparatus, 000

demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 08/10/2026It doesn't even matter no, all 3 are perfectly serviceable tbh. I would pick aws but that's just what I've most worked with. If you have a very specific use case there might be a bigger difference. 010

demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026But will they even notice in the middle of eco fascism and stochastic terrorism and a destabilizing society? Almost certainly not 😎 000
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026None of these concerns come close to offsetting the advantages. Society-wide, shit will be so fucked. It will be literally impossible to determine why a computer does anything for any sufficiently old piece of software. People will literally die from increasingly frequent catastrophic failures. 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026This whole thing will work just fine. Average quality for all things will be lower but that's not a competitive disadvantage if everyone is doing it. You get to decimate your labor costs and ship things at "10x", high fives and fat bonuses all year every year for you. 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026And realistically, you can still use a human to guide it so it doesn't repeatedly do the absolute dumbest thing possible. Keeping services small is really super duper extra beneficial here. Just like with testing, it's stuff you should have done anyway, but now it's really not optional. 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026Now, will these rewrites eventually get pretty fucking expensive too, to the point where maybe you CAN actually sink the entire company due to token costs? Sure maybe. But that's literally DECADES away. That is so not your problem. 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026Not so with AI! It's just tokens dawg. You just need to show you've saved more long term than the rewrite cost you, which you probably can. And your tests are guaranteed to be good and your requirements fully captured. It's so little risk! 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026So AI can just fix the mess AI creates. Carrying cost getting high? Just rewrite the whole thing until it's lower. With humans this is scary because you need a lot of extra capacity for temporary work, and contractors can't really save you because there's significant onboarding costs. 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026Even better, AI got everyone real excited about quality test coverage because you sort of can't actually ship without it (since it's dumb and makes mistakes). 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026And The Rewrite? That's a lot less scary too. There are no uncaptured requirements to worry about because you had to capture it all to get the AI to write it to begin with. 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026So AI is really perfect for this because, well first of all, it will never bitch. It will happily do things the hard way 200 times in a row without complaining that this shouldn't be taking so long. It's just a few more tokens, still way cheaper than human dev time. 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026That's the closest thing to bad engineering actually being able to sink your company, but also? It very rarely actually happens. I don't think it has this side of the 90s. It's not like margins are ever thin with software, you can always just throw a bit more money at it. 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026It's ok to let them, but you never want them to be like, happy with the code. That means you've underutilized tech debt. You could have been more aggressive shipping features. If you overdo it the other way, the risk you're trying to avoid is The Rewrite because that's expensive and risky. 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026Cutting corners will always buy you shipped features. The carrying cost of doing so is the marginal increase in complexity (and thus delivery cost) for doing so in the future. Also your engineers bitch a lot and insist they fix the most egregious things before they ship something. Fine. 120
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 05/10/2026Here's a horrible little secret I learned some time ago that kinda ruined programming forever as a job for me (long before AI): Managers don't strive to minimize tech debt, they strive to optimally utilize it. 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 04/10/2026Black is very compelling but honestly red could be the sleeper OP meta. 020
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 04/10/2026At the same time, it's so incredible how art allows people to communicate something profound that they themselves cannot speak to with language alone or even really consciously elucidate. 010

demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 22/09/2026We should be happy to stop worrying about all that and let the tools we built do their thing so we could focus on the things we did evolve to know and care for: the caring for others, social relations, communication, art etc. 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 22/09/2026At some point you just need to make peace with the fact we didn't evolve in a way that lets us have an internalized understanding of the true nature of the reality around us. But that's ok, the symbolic formalisms still give us good and useful results that let us arrange the world around us. 110
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 22/09/2026A skilled mathematician can turn symbolic understanding into intuition which is meaningful to them, but only up a point. There are hard limitations to this and even pre-computer, human-derived math can run into them. 100
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 22/09/2026The imaginary real is your internal model of reality that you can actually interact with. It's the ONLY place where anything can have meanings and what the human mind can work with. 110
demonurge spookato @clarabstract.northsky.social · 22/09/2026This is exactly what Laclan's 3 reals are about: The "real real" (reality) is raw, traumatic and inaccessible to the human mind. The symbolic real (math) can produce true statements about the world, but is ultimately just signifiers devoid of meaning. 110
