John Conn @johnconnolly.bsky.social · 26/09/2026i have seen the future and... i can't figure out if it's good or bad yet but it's very very unsettling 100
John Conn @johnconnolly.bsky.social · 21/09/2026so i don't think I hate coding with AI. I think I hate coding with AI with other people and I hate the politics around it, but like, just using it, using it well, it's fine. It really is insane what you can do. Everything else though, burn it all down. 000

John Conn @johnconnolly.bsky.social · 15/09/2026postmodernist book idea: some shit about living in the current timeline like a hipster, but with the protagonist working on a book. the book-within-a-book is a spin on the Book of Job but God and Satan bet about whether Job will get alzheimers from being forced to use AI for dev in his day job 010

John Conn @johnconnolly.bsky.social · 10/09/2026There needs to be an emoji like 🫶 or something you can flash quick to be like “yo is the emperor wearing no clothes?!” and if they flash it back that means “yes!” and then you just have to figure out what it means 000
John Conn @johnconnolly.bsky.social · 08/09/2026would you stake your job on the unreviewed output of an LLM? because that's what it feels like we're all careening towards. implicitly. 200
John Conn @johnconnolly.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The last gasp will be a too little too late push to unionize tech labor in the face of AI and it will pop the whole fuckin thing 100

John Conn @johnconnolly.bsky.social · 04/09/2026sometimes i wonder if claude code actually reads keystrokes as they're entered and it actually knows when i start typing "are you a fucking idi----[cmd+a delete]" 000
John Conn @johnconnolly.bsky.social · 03/09/2026is there an occupational hazard for firefighters in just holding a firehose for hours on end? because that's what development feels like. whatever the opposite of carpal tunnel is, just manhandling a firehose all day, hands blown to shit 000
John Conn @johnconnolly.bsky.social · 03/09/2026collaborating with AI for development kinda feels like playing baseball! but the fielders are also the batters. and the pitcher is the batter. it's all batters just batting balls at eachother 200

John Conn @johnconnolly.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Literally the worst job I ever had was one where I was treated like a code monkey by other engineers. At least being treated like a code monkey by nontechnical folks I had the emotional escape hatch of “they don’t know any better” but when it’s fellow engineers it’s like… did I do something wrong? 100
