This is peak AI mania: identify a task that has long been well- and cheaply-handled by human beings, pay to use an LLM (which is ill-suited for the task), and be completely shocked when it goes disastrously.

It says it here on this company's website! ...It also says that CSS is dead, best practices are bad, recommends tables and floats for layout, and...' The first character retakes writing CSS and interrupts 'And let me guess... the solution is their style library?' The second character is surprised 'Wait... How did you know?'

when you have 16,000 new lines of code which must be maintained indefinitely, and neither the author (who used AI) nor the reviewers (who used AI) has any knowledge about what that code *actually* does… that’s a perfect recipe for the erosion of institutional knowledge

Have kids so you can have a 6yo punch you in the stomach because they're angry they had to stop doing something after you tell them it's time to stop. Then 30 minutes later say mother's and father's day is their favorite holiday because it celebrates mommy and daddy.

The two most effective ways your company can support open source: 1. Let your developers have time for open source work. 2. Give each of your developers an annual budget to allocate to whatever OSS projects they think are important.

Have we pointed out yet that open source is inherently political? And not even in the way that everything is political. In the way that it is a direct political action to reject artificial scarcity and undermine technocratic power.
