Rob with 21st century sweat shops having toddlers writing code instead of children in textile factories.
Comparing GenAI in software development to a junior developer is the wrong analogy.
It’s more like a toddler.
Just like a young child, GenAI has no real-world context.
Grabs random things, unexpectedly veers off, insists they're right even when covered in spaghetti.

Anybody who ever thinks war is cool should go see the War Remnants museum in Ho Chi Minh City, and the genocide museum in Phnom Penh. My god.

So I wanted to build something with Cursor entirely from scratch with minimal code editing from me.
I'm impressed. In minimal time I've built a WhatsApp to Notion integration that will take any text or voice note, and add it into a database or page.
Give it a go, message +447862118768 to start!

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.
This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

We are all perfectly imperfect, and that's ok.
Except me, I have to be perfect in everything I do apparently, or I'm worthless. Thanks brain.

I finally bought CyberPunk and gotta say it's pretty fun. I do find myself longing for a bit of old(er) school Division multiplayer action though. Might be time to dig it out.

This Xmas I will mostly be playing #goodpiebadpie, which involves eating mince pies and telling the world whether it's a good pie, or a bad pie.
It's a complicated game, but you'll get the hang of it once we get started.
Let's start with an easy one.
