Redundancy it is… my position isn’t value for the company given the ability of AI 🫡

Is there nothing you can do when a company says 100% remote on the application. Repeat it throughout interviews and then in the final interview drop… So there is 1 or 2 days in an office per week. Its false advertising.

Currently rewriting lots of internal web apps from create react app to vite. Is it worth writing a blog about it all. So far biggest impact before to build on a small project was 3.9s it’s now 0.25s. Bundle size saving about 12% on average.

AI hasn’t eliminated the attack surface it’s multiplied it. Now companies are deploying the same agents that can infiltrate codebases to defend them. We’re creating new vulnerabilities, then using AI to protect against AI. Progress, or just an arms race with better marketing?

Have we really moved from understanding the code that’s shipped. To now relying on a clanker to help us understand it…

Are we going full tilt to… please maximise your tokens. Don’t use them on simple tasks pretty please 🙏. Budget properly… I can’t wait for consultants telling us how to manage our AI token allowance 😅.

We are going to shift from one bullshit story estimation of t shirt sizes to token estimates aren’t we 🥲

Today is the day I’m fighting the pipeline. Finally got approval to switch everything to pnpm 😎

Could I make my return to nuxt and vue. 🤞 hopefully

Pay lots of money to get AI to push crappy code? YES!! Pay for visual regression? NO!! Too expensive!! Invest time into pipeline to make sure AI code is governed. No!! Makes merging to production slower. Make it faster to push code to production by removing stuff from the pipeline? YES!!

Ironic watching Microsoft build goodwill through VS Code and GitHub, then start rug pulling trust in the AI era. Google too: years building strong developer ecosystems, now “progress at all costs.” Everyone racing to be first to AI(LLM). Stability and trust become optional.

One of the most common office dynamics is when someone asks for solutions to a problem they’ve already decided is impossible. “We need to reduce bugs.” “Maybe we improve test coverage.” “Yes, but that slows delivery.” “Maybe we tighten ownership.” “Yes, but teams are already overloaded.”

Greenfield systems built primarily with AI assistance in 2024–2028 will, in 2035–2040, present the same archaeology problem that COBOL systems present today: large volumes of functional code whose internal logic is opaque, whose authors are no longer available, and whose documentation is inadequate.

AI/LLM gives 10× productivity. But look around what have we actually made better? It almost feel’s like it doesn’t give us 10× outcomes. It gave us 10× motion.

Ai generated text tends to feel robotic and lack emotion. Sorry that’s just how I write 🙃 it seems.

Time is a flat circle.… We can now move faster. But the problem isn’t moving slow. It’s now moving completely in the wrong direction.

People keep asking if I’m back… I didn’t really have an answer. But yeah. I’m thinking I’m back.

Had to build an agent network 🙃. Sub workers are named mr meeseeks. The longer it runs the more unhinged it gets

Extra, extra: In 6–12 months we will once again hear next year that AI could replace software engineers in 6–12 months

I’m not wishing everyone a “wonderful” day, because for many it isn’t. For some, it’s the first Christmas after a divorce. After a loss. After leaving their country and family. For others, it may be the last one with someone they love.

Does anyone have good references or websites they use with regional pricing? To show the regional pricing options

Code freeze: “Ship everything now”. “No wait that’s broken”. “Add this”. “Now we’re missing something we didn’t think of”. “Okay this feature doesn’t make sense”. “Just one last thing before freeze”. “Build failed”. “Fix it.”. “Build failed again”. “Oh someone else touched this area.”
