iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I think that's what's pissing me off as a product claude has been constantly getting better. Its got is problems sure but gd they've been consistently trending in the "right" direction.

No disagreement there but I'd say so far what is "less rote" has been a bigger piece than I expected initially.

And it is hard with experience still, just a totally new constant modality of work even with years of experience.

Imo the 2nd is a feature not a bug, we already understand how to build software one pr at a time. It just means you're spending more time in planning than doing now. Its why I think we're hearing about fatigue and burn out managing these tools. Lots of devs never learned those skills/techniques.

Im glad to see this articulated this way. I've been couching most of my language recently as, these tools are making it so the question of should is more important than can. So wisdom is going to be more important than intelligence going forward. But you've articulated it with great nuance.Thanks!

Enjoy the brain bleed. I still haven't recovered.

I hope you haven't read up on gas town

Why are we giving these turds anonymity? If this happened come out and report it publicly.

I’m also hopeful for this.

Data centers are clearly critical infrastructure for the military even w/o “AI” - so seems obvious that they’d be targets; and co-locating them with civilian assets shouldn’t protect them hope those on site technicians are getting hazard pay.

Also >getting alignment on the PRD I don’t think LLMs help here. Alignment is fundamentally about parties and assuming they have different needs; will continue to take time. I just spent 3 weeks getting alignment across a company and executed the work in an evening.

I agree with shorter dev cycles, but I still believe the Agile manifesto largely still holds up and will be critical - especially : "Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility" and "Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.”

Spicy take(?): nothing really changes in the over all flow of work, its just that one of the biggest natural friction points is no longer useful in helping drive a conversation of CAN vs SHOULD. The discipline to stop and think before you act will be the real divider in execution now - not velocity.

People would pay money for this opportunity.... what a dumb question

Sorry but that second one would at least be fun. (Unless it wasn't Damon's character? )

Who wants to bet it's more, misogynistic employee had a boundary set against their behavior and complained?

OpenAI fired a VP who opposed their erotica rollout (and had started a company-wide peer mentorship program for women), allegedly telling her it was because she discriminated against a man 🤔 www.wsj.com/tech/ai/open...

“Additionally, we find it deplorable that some established palaeontological organizations are not taking firm action to protect their members... As such, executive committee members from organizations that are not issuing public bans to these individuals are also banned from our events."

Its just software engineering ..... nothing has changed except who is slinging code.

Dylan Storey @dylanstorey.com · 30/01/2026

Because we all know they’re “pretty good” and honestly for most business use cases thats probably enough - its when it bleeds into areas that matter I worry about people losing discipline

Dylan Storey @dylanstorey.com · 30/01/2026

the whole vibe modeling thing terrifies me; we already have real problems with people not being able to understand basic analysis or how to interpret results well - and they’re naturally going to do even less review as the LLM just spits out answers that are correct 80% of the time.

Even just as nice big piece of cast iron.

I really want a wood backup for this reason. Otherwise what everyone else has already said is good advice.

Just released plissken - a doc generator for Rust/Python hybrid projects. If you're using PyO3 or Maturin and want unified docs that link between your Rust internals and Python API, this might be of interest. Still beta, bug reports welcome github.com/colliery-io/... #rustlang #python #pyo3 #maturin

Same, I’ve been struggling recently with people either just now discovering how important good specification writing is for good software; or just fighting me on how its pretty much the only way to accelerate agentic assistants in development.

Putting this on main was a choice.

alas - “cache invalidation” is still hard =(

I’m still working through how i might achieve the bigger goal which is a “local first” shared fact system for development across branches with merging. (I don’t like the term memory for this because its meant to be more about the “current state of what is real”).

I actually started the explorer as an MCP server initially but found that claude was weirdly hesitant to call it unless i specifically told it to which was kind of “against” the ux flow i was looking floor. I did put explicit switches in to control the router (simple regex).

You didn’t gas town it so … no no you didnt.
