“Programming Languages in the Age of AI Agents”
In the age of “AI” Agents generating the code, is your programming language choice still relevant? Or will we just converge on using the top 5 languages, as that’s what the “AI” trained on?

A big philosophy that USED TO BE present in SV innovation was “if you can think of a way this can be used maliciously in ANY way, you can’t release it until you’ve fixed that.” Now the malice is the entire point of most stuff coming out in the tech world.

My mom has told me this kind of mindset was driving force at Xerox PARC when she worked there and the fact that it’s almost entirely disappeared from Silicon Valley is a prime driver of the enshittification of everything
Write code to make being human easier. Rip code out if it makes being human harder. Write code to make caring for each other easier. Rip it out if it makes caring for each other harder.
Empathy driven development has literally never failed me. It’s done me better than everything else combined

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."
This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

Public transport often treats bikes as a luxury—or worse a competitor—but without them leaves revenue on the table.
For 25 years, the Dutch have extended the reach of their railways through investments in (300,000) parking spaces and (25,000) shared bikes. The result? A doubling of train ridership.

White people aren’t ignorant or afraid.
They want to destroy the world if whiteness cannot be the central perspective of everything viewpoint imaginable.
I cannot talk to anyone who cannot acknowledge this basic truth.

Dante has a specific section of Hell for people who commit crimes on behalf of a monarch (the pope) knowing the monarch has promised in advance to pardon them.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

The movement to build "Slow Cities, Happy Cities" is being led by the collective desire to reclaim social spaces, a renewed focus on listening to people, and above all, the need to bring a feminist vision into the planning of cities.

Flying cars are the perfect example of a point solution: trying to solve a systemic problem (traffic) with an individual product (fly over the traffic).
But traffic is not a technology problem; it's a social problem. Remote work, congestion fees, and dense transit-connected housing solve it better.

which then begs the question of why you want flying cars instead of whatever mass transportation equivalent you imagine
