Trying to measure coding productivity is, and always will be, a fool's errand.
Why? Because I can go for a walk then take a shower and have an idea, then write a single line of code that fixes everything I was working on.
Immense productivity, but by most metrics I didn't do anything at all.

GenAI is a giant search engine, and it doesn't do more for malware than a slightly shittier Google would. Malware has been using polymorphism since I didn't have grey hair and drank less. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

This shows you that this man has never helped when his kids were sick. Ibuprofen is fucking magic when your small child has a fever.
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

One the craziest elements about cybersecurity is you have half the industry sat worrying about cyberwar!1! and going on about quantum and AI, then you have you have the operational reality of what is actually happening on the ground - it bares no resemblance, at all, to what people are focused on.

How Stupid is Facebook's algorithm?
A close friend of mine broke his leg so I clicked like on a picture he posted of his leg in a cast and told him to get well soon.
Now Facebook thinks I want to see nothing but random strangers posting similar pictures of their broken legs.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.
It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.
