Dan Gayle @dangayle.bsky.social · 05/01/2026I think the issue a lot of devs have with AI is that they haven’t realized that they’re project managers now. PMs don’t write the code for their projects, they herd developers who are probabilistic, idiosyncratic, who interpret requirements differently, etc. It’s all been shifted one layer deeper. 000

Dan Gayle @dangayle.bsky.social · 20/11/2025I was playing Nick Harrison’s “Art Official Soul” on Spotify and my wife said “how dare you bring that into my house.” For those who don’t know, it’s 100% AI-generated covers of songs done in an old-school soul style. I said “but does it sound good?” And her response? “I don’t care.” Fatality. 010

Dan Gayle @dangayle.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Just fired up the Zed editor for the first time. I like it so far. Ported over my MCP settings and configured it to use Shopify’s internal AI proxies, and it’s cooking. 000

Dan Gayle @dangayle.bsky.social · 08/11/2025I am really loving the Rust language. I like how it forces me to be technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. And it’s not so hard, really. I thought so back before I learned Typescript and a little C#, but now I realize the difficulty for me was always types, coming from Python and JS 020
Dan Gayle @dangayle.bsky.social · 05/11/2025My one college class that I’m enrolled in hangs over me every week. Just like in days of yore, I put it off until the last minute and cram it through at the last second. Never change, Dan. Never change. 000
