It's a slippery slope, but I can see how they got to that eventual conclusion.

Wow, just got my very first sexual harassment comment on one of my videos. Looks like I'm starting to make it as a content creator. Next stop, even worse comments on my videos!

I wonder how many developers have been through something like this. Kudos to the therapist for putting in the extra effort.

It's so easy to make fun of A.I. code output, but this might be the thing that makes me unable to tell the difference between human-generated and A.I.-generated.

I put a ton of work into globalGlob.dev every week to publish what is always (never) 100% real news for developers and IT professionals. You should check it out. And if you can't remember to regularly visit, there's a weekly newsletter with even more content globalglob.dev/newsletter

I got the newsletter and now my code is cleaner. Coincidence? I don't think so, but I can't prove it.

Not sure how I feel about the security of this. But the improved UX will be great.

Went out of my way to make this week's Log Level Debug episode shorter than usual because I didn't have as much time as usual, and the time I spend editing is longer each week. It ended up being the longest script I've written. Recording it tomorrow is going to be an adventure.

Finally, a newsletter I'll sign up for and actually read when it shows up in my email each and every week...probably.

Same here. So much more skipping than I used to do.

Every programming podcast I hear these days has the same "My agent couldn't do this thing, but I did this thing so it could figure out how to do the work for me" segment, and it's just so boring. At least the comedy ones don't have anything like that yet.

Looking at analytics for Log Level Debug clips on YouTube Shorts, Instagram, and TicTok. The biggest bump is when we make fun of Microsoft. I, uh, don't think my MVP status will be renewed next year.

ah yes once again the racists are the real victims

In an internal Slack message obtained by The Verge, 1Password's Karimov downplayed the overtly racist comments from DHH, telling staff the following:

As I said, people have different personal opinions. You believe in your heart that DHH is evil, that you have the moral high ground, and that nothing will change your mind.
However, not everyone believes that. It is not fair to claim a monopoly and ostracize team members who might disagree with you.

There are people who are afraid to speak up simply because they will be personally attacked.

Due to constant demands, the sometimes hard-working journalists at globalGlob(**/) are thinking of producing a weekly newsletter. Would you be interested in even more free content? Let them know in the comments.
