So much of software development comes down to pointing in roughly the right direction and taking small, steady steps. Merged changes aren't cast in stone....you shouldn't break anything but can follow with with further incremental improvements. Perfection is the enemy of progress!

"Why can't you just appreciate how revolutionary the job-taking, environment-degrading, information-shredding, technology-hoarding, economy-swamping machine is?" My brother in Christ, there may indeed be a revolution in part because of "AI," but it might not be the one you wanted.

Ah so sorry to hear that. May be worth checking out fiverr or similar to support creativity. Or old fashioned stock images and memes 😅 It's hard to gauge when AI is being an addition to a team and not a replacement. I'd be interested on seeing the talk if it was recorded.

#LDX3 What does a CTO even do? by Dee Kitchen 1. Do we have the right people? 2. Do we have the right technology? 3. Do we have the right product vision? 4. Do we have the right balance between innovation and liability 5. Do we have the right enablement and sales motion?

AI gen is just turning into another consumer thing everyone buys. In 10y, people who took the time to learn production instead of just prompts are going to be absolutely priceless. They're going to be paid insane money while everyone else is stuck fighting over who can write the best prompt.

Square literally does not know or care about any of this. No reason to participate. Many projects are effectively maintained outside the company now, and those engineers may choose to fork simply as a way to indicate that Block is not involved.

Block thing happened… but I feel grateful to have learned from the legends of Android engineering during my time there. Taking two weeks to study Korean, play guitar& build Legos with my son. Then I will be exploring the fun roles where I can build, connect and make this world a better place ❤️

I suspect it will be a different watershed moment: Jack has just torpedoed Square and Cash App, and when real people start losing real money as a result this will become the horror story that people point to when warning of the limits of AI driven coding.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.

This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’
The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want”

On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:

In Georgia it’s really starting to feel like the protest is gaining momentum. Today’s massive rally in Tbilisi has overwhelmed the police, and demonstrations are spreading nationwide. With Monday approaching, it’s hard to see state-run institutions operating as usual.
