truth hurts
A large slide fills most of the image, projected in a modern glass-walled auditorium. The slide has a pink background with bold red text at the top:

“Managers have been vibe coding forever”

Below is a bulleted list in plain red text:
	•	tell dev to implement a new feature (vibe coding)
	•	dev makes changes to code
	•	manager tests app
	•	manager does not read the code
	•	manager complains about bugs
	•	dev makes changes to fix bugs
	•	manager doesn’t read the code (again)
	•	dev says “done, by now”
	•	manager says “gj but be faster next time” or insults the living hell out of the dev

In the lower-left foreground, a speaker stands behind a black podium labeled:

AI Engineer
Code Summit
Presented by Google DeepMind

The room is bright with floor-to-ceiling windows behind the stage showing greenery and modern architecture outside.

We just launched powerful new capabilities in the Honeycomb Telemetry Pipeline, including graphical pipeline building functionality and "Enhance", which gives teams the ability to do the detective show-style "enhance the letters on that plate" for sampled data. AMA Thurs/Fri on @honeycomb.io!
a visual pipeline builder showing "receive data -> send to s3 archive" and "receive data -> keep http errors -> keep slow traces -> sample 1 in 10 -> send to honeycomb"

an engineer's speech bubble says "Let's adjust the sample rate."
Engineer: What's this user doing?
Engineer 2: "Let's enhance with more data from our S3 archive."

a Honeycomb query builder is shown with a heatmap and count, with a customer id and url selected. the button "enhance from archive" is highlighted, along with the time range being enhanced

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Or, to quote something I find myself asking a lot recently, "Wait, you think or you _know_?" We need to get to a point of knowing and so far it's been relatively easy to defer this in the short run to little consequence. This just expedites the conversation and puts the impetus on contracts.

Observations from this article on "tech" chat groups: 1) they are 100% male, 2) they are texting all day, 3) they seem to have little other work to do, 4) these are investors, not true 'techies', 4) the author of the article seems not to realize himself how airless and homogeneous these groups are.

It is legal to criticize the president. It is legal to criticize the president's actions. It is legal to criticize the president's advisors. It is legal and patriotic and the blood of a healthy society to hold those in power accountable, and even to mock them. Remember it.

Being on a team that is moving fast and getting shit done is one of the best feelings in the world. As my coworker @gsiener.bsky.social says... it's not "happy engineers ship fast"; it's that engineers who ship fast ARE HAPPY ENGINEERS. It's not the whole story, but it's a lot of it. ☺️

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
