Java people really are ultimate pretrained vibecoders. Take away their IDE and they’re like vibecoders without LLM.

Funny how half of companies gave up on any branding or differentiation, and round down to “Your AI agent for work”

The key innovation of AI-assisted tooling is the keystroke-level surveillance that generates nice graphs for execs. It does suddenly make them pay big bucks for dev tooling

Funny how even 5 years ago devs were looking down on QA and now the entire workforce is retraining to be a QA for AI output

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

The "ai layoffs" at tech companies are because of tax policy not AI. But obviously no one will admit this
This article links tech layoffs that started in 2022 to a Section 174 change in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which ended immediate R&D write-offs.
The assumption was companies using savings from the tax cuts to cover the increased tax bill on R&D spending. Instead they’ve cut headcount.

The hidden time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs
A decades-old tax rule helped build America's tech economy. A quiet change under Trump helped dismantle it

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Simple heurestic for AI usefulness: does it try to help me think and make decisions, or does it try to do that on my behalf?

Silver lining of the AI push is that some people, kicking and screaming and against their own will, do produce docs (“AI context”) that’s also useful for their colleagues.
