I've been on a bit of a social media hiatus, but I've written a new post about something that's been on my mind a lot lately localghost.dev/blog/stop-ge...
Stop generating, start thinking - localghost
Instead of wanting to learn and improve as humans, and build better software, weβve outsourced our mistakes to an unthinking algorithm.

I'm going to make a remix that has one donk in the middle but is otherwise the same, and call it the Whamageddon Remix

In a time where the industry is dominated by AI hype and ruthless capitalism, @ffconf.org never fails to remind us of the human side of tech. I hope we never lose that!

This is one of my biggest gripes with AI generated code. People don't understand what they're committing and that's so dangerous. #ffconf with @jesslynnrose.bsky.social & @edaeren.bsky.social

In 2019, @laurakalbag.bsky.social gave a talk at #ffconf that convinced me to drop Google where possible, and I've been a Fastmail user since. Today, @chetbox.com is giving the spiritual successor to that talk, exploring Big Tech's influence over politics, our data, and the oversaturation of AI

There's still things that catch me by surprise now, even though they probably shouldn't. A cool new retro coding magazine where the entire contributor list is bearded white dudes. More men named Chris than women in an engineering team. An entirely white speaker panel.

The first talk of the day at #ffconf highlighted the still-abysmal gender and ethnicity disparity in the tech industry. As long as data is compiled and processed by a non-diverse group, we can't train models and build products that could ever be anything but biased.
