Reductionism can be wrong, but actionable.
Complexity can be right, but paralyzing.

TBM 389: Overthinker!
From a young age, being accused of “overcomplicating” or “overthinking” things felt like a dismissal of who I was.

DX's latest study into AI-assisted coding says the same as DORA's recent report - AI won’t save you from your (broken) engineering culture.
But it goes further: the biggest gains come from better ways of working, not AI.

The dotcom bubble left us fibre that still powers the internet.
The AI boom might leave us a pile of short-lived silicon and silent cathedrals of compute – monuments to a forgotten era.
The web was open. AI isn’t. That may prove the real difference.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

We really need a good ethnography of distributed thought and action in complex organizations that captures the gap between what most of us narrate post-facto about a decision (and how we insert that narration into critiques) vs. what we know about how organizational thinking actually happens.

Vibe coding with another human aka pair programming is likely to give more benefits. Maybe give that a try?

Attempting to get Co-pilot to refactor an old .Net project and it’s failing miserably.
Overconfidently makes broad sweeping changes, doesn’t figure out what the compiler errors mean, then makes more changes. Gets itself stuck.

The AI hype cycle is strange. I’ve not seen any tech hype that’s been pushed on to devs forcefully before. Devs are made to feel bad for not using it. Atleast Kubernetes is useful.

My favorite description of the term “privilege” is who gets the benefit of the doubt and who doesn’t.
We see it every day in who gets the rules rigorously enforced against them and who gets a slap on the wrist or warning when the rules say there are heavy consequences for their actions.
