x.com/tobi/status/... I wonder what happened after this... Not even 6 months later Tobi goes from full rewrite to slop grenades. Interesting. I can see this trend propagading.

Using Cyclomatic metrics to measure the bloat caused by LLM generated code. Since Anthropic released the series 5 of models, the average complexity raised from 2x to 8x in every code generated.

That feeling you did something wrong. Something out the norm. Statistical outlier. What did I do? I wrote a post with my bare hands. No AI. Like a medieval scribe. I even left a typo in. On purpoise. #noaipost #claudeisasleeep #artsandcrafts #handmade

AI Protection (in case you want to protect your codebase from Vibe coding): Change the default vim bindings Set up rules that AI need to code using VIM Set up a rule that AI needs to leave vim at each edited file There you go, you trapped the machine. #win #suckitskynet

I use Doomsday 6.66 (Commodore x64) as my user agent.

If you spoof your user agent to something random, your Google results will be ad-free.

If a vendor announces a 50% price hike on April 1st. Can you claim it's a prank and carry on? Asking for a friend...

While everyone is trying to master the tools of AI, my recommendation: improve communication. Learn to write better, learn to cut the noise. It's not only about interpersonal skills, it's also helping to write better prompts, better comments, and better documentation if we're still doing that soon.

Gus Fune @gus.fune.uk · 19/03/2025

It's not impossible to train for, it's harder, it takes more time and it's less objective, which, can be annoying for the lot more of logical thinkers.

Gus Fune @gus.fune.uk · 19/03/2025

Communication is a soft skill. It's behaviour and it's about conveying ideas and information that are unstructured into a way that can be understood and actionable.

Gus Fune @gus.fune.uk · 19/03/2025

Learning a new tool, a new programming language or a new way of working, that's mostly hard skills, that's easy to train and nail.

Gus Fune @gus.fune.uk · 19/03/2025

The thing no one is talking about AI in Software Engineering is probably the one detail that we should be paying more attention: communication skills. AI is not going to replace jobs, but engineers that can't communicate well, they are going to lag behind. #ai #sdlc #engineering #skills #skynet
