Fuck you to Nexthink for running an autonomous AI agent that only you control on my corporate device that I have no control over.

Ouch, home is IP blocked from Stack Exchange... which means there is probably a hidden residential VPN scraper on this network. And now I am learning that the services installed on my work laptop that I cannot control provide Residential VPN proxy services... fun. I guess Faraday cage when off work.

Just seeing thought out and concise patches is so rare today that people literally thank each other for keeping it small, because reviewing and looking at AI generated commits just pushes the time waste on someone else. It is all guesses or trusting the AI regarding how it "works".

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

Looking at my software peers in 2026 I see fatigued faces, I see frustration, and I see a lot of people looking for a way out of an industry that seems poised on the brink of collapse. LLMs are being pushed on us at every turn, most people seem at best frustrated by them, and ultimately they seem to appeal most to people who see the production of software as a purely mechanical means to an end. They are antithetical, however, to the idea of software as a craft, or something requiring both initial and ongoing care. As an expression of the soul.

A lot of people assume FA is profitable. If that were the case we wouldn't have needed a GFM when Neer passed to keep it out of probate. It's been two years. The funds were used. FA is struggling financially. And I am 🌟s t r e s s e d🌟 I'm scared to ask for help, I feel like no matter how much-

The crossroad of LLMs for open source projects is the choice it gives you: One of giving up your project's "soul" up to embrace the corporate normal that pretty much everyone knows; or one that you define and build yourself, made with passion, one that only you and a few others truly know.

As a long time KDE user, not as someone who develops for it so I cannot speak there but as another long time open source developer, what I am seeing recently has me pretty concerned.

Is there any harm in using AI to work on — or entirely create — projects for the Sega Saturn and elsewhere in the retro gaming scene? Yes, PandaMonium says in this opinion column, equating such work to digital asbestos: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/09/24/c... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming

AI has turned coworkers who have written in C longer than I have known how to read into manually setting indexed characters in arrays and other manual array indexing shenanigans. It really does rot your brain.

Have whatever opinions you want about AI, I will have mine, but I absolutely DO NOT trust applications written by a single dev with AI. I dont trust them to maintain or support it. These people fundamentally do not understand long term software development.
