I loved Scott Pelley's response if you haven't seen it yet. www.ms.now/news/scott-p...

Read Scott Pelley’s full statement on firing from CBS News’ ‘60 Minutes’
“The collapse of values at the top has become untenable,” the award-winning journalist said. “The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable.”

This is a pretty good write up on where we are with new AI tools. Nicely done Lisa Eadicicco @lisaeadicicco.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2026/02/19/t...

AI is either your most helpful coworker, a glorified search engine or vastly overrated depending on who you ask.

The top level directory in our repo's have a ton of .json, .yaml, or .*ANOTHER_APPLICATION* config files in them. This hurts my OCD tendencies every time I see it as most apps don't let you define a custom directory. I guess thats just something I have to live with, like astigmatism.

One thing I love so far is how it stores and surfaces artifacts from agents. The walkthrough is clutch for tracing what was actually done before reviewing the lines of code that were actually changed.

An issue I've run into a few times with the #go `net/url` package is that `url.Values{}` is a map so `Values.Encode()` sorts the params before encoding. Some api's expect a specific order and and sorting breaks those API calls. The fix is to manually encode the values but I wish I didn't have to.

For business that are primarily software companies you still need people who can do the job in absence of AI. Agents and LLMs are here to stay, but vibe coding is only good for small projects and throwaway prototypes.

I’m not anti-ai, but I am a realist. I hope AI gets to a point where software can be seen as a commodity and to some extent it is. For small projects used by an individual it’s great! The flip side is that it falls apart at scale, like most technology.

A couple of things that Adam does phenomenally are: 1. Crafting succinct and quotable phrases for complex ideas. 2. Linking ideas from any medium or domain to his personal and professional philosophy. I appreciate his way of thinking and have learned a lot from him sharing publicly.

I actually hate the #reddit error page. Telling the users they did something wrong when there is a 5xx error is a pretty poor user experience. Don't blame the user for your mistakes...

One thing I'm struggling with using AI agents is managing virtual environments. I use them for most of projects but agents don't cooperate well with venvs. I tried defining `flox activate` or `mise use` in the prompt, but that has been finicky at best. Anyone have things that work for them?

This is succinct and well written. As backend engineers we are now designing APIs for humans, software, and agents. Different concerns for different clients.

If we retired builds a few times it worked fine as the issue was intermittent. That said, if we needed to do emergency fix or a rollback it would have increased our response time. Ultimately it was fine and we had limited impact.

One interesting thing with the GCP outage yesterday is that some of our builds failed because it could not pull down packages from pkg.go.dev. So even though we don't use GCP infra we were still sort of impacted.

When LLM's work its nice but I often find myself getting frustrated. I tell it explicitly how to implement something and not to assume things but it still goes off the rails. That said my day job is mainly Go and it handles go code fairly well when its using the stdlib or popular packages.

#unpopularopinion: Liquid glass has a lot of potential. There are some pretty big issues with it in its current iteration, but it feels fun. #Apple's UI updates have historically been bad on the first iteration. We just have to wait for iOS/MacOS/iPadOS 27 for this it to be as dope as I hope.

There is also the monetization of user generated content by companies selling access to AI companies. It removes a lot of incentive and motivation for people not getting paid to generate content. It feels like production of new knowledge is slowing and become much more homogeneous.

I want to say that human generated content and journalism is especially important now with all the AI generated content out there. Unfortunately the attack on science, fact based research, and retaliation for opinion pieces makes any sort of publication challenging.
