Some speculations on the future of the software developer as a subcultural figure, post vibecoding open.substack.com/pub/isthisan...

Cover image for "Death of a Software Developer" on isthisanart.substack.com. Dark green-tinted composite of two images: the upper half shows what appears to be a detail of a figurative oil painting, the lower half shows multiple monitors displaying code — looks like Solidity smart contract output and Python terminal errors. The title is set in large white serif type.

If you’re looking for a short film that tackles AI, computer vision, data and power, Alan Warburton’s three-and-a-half minute “Image Empire” is a brilliant scratch for that itch. If you’re teaching critical AI, it’s ideal. Has a very accessible paper attached too. alanwarburton.co.uk/image-empire

This thing 🫴

HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!
A screenshot of a link with a question mark followed by a seemingly random string of characters.
These are source identifiers. Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity.
When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers.
Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

NEW: The US is in the midst of a political coup that, if successful, would forever change the nature of its government, writes Eryk Salvaggio. But this coup is not taking place in the streets. It's taking place cubicle by cubicle in federal agencies and in the mundane automation of bureaucracy.
