I’m just, you know, a philosopher, but it seems obvious that intelligence is social and relational and the AI bros are deeply invested in it being private property that can be owned, so they will always always miss the mark.

The original sin of UX "user satisfaction is the only measure" not "user actually achieves goals that are meaningful to them and the world" coming home in a lotta ways and it's trapped developer experience too
The fact that we frequently prefer interactions and experiences that feel cognitively easy is also a reliable illusion. We experience this in our learning all the time.
This is also why I'm skeptical of any idea that developer experience should only be about making things FEEL easy

Preparing my notes for an interview on history of identity cards, back in the news because of proposals such as Labour Together’s Britcard (left). There’s a long history (see WW2 poster, right)
Here’s a thread on recent (1980s-2010s) UK ID card history, showing how Tony Blair became keen on them

I've been telling people that deleting prod is the way to go if you want accurate documentation and a reliable system (i.e, no system, no docs). Good to see AI getting on my level!

People miss the second half: unless you like to code AND other people like to perceive you as someone who "could be skilled at coding."
The career is gated quite a bit by that.

"Learn to code" was always bad advice, unless you actually like to code. College students have the best chance of professional success if they major in topics that interest them. Today in @startribune.com. Please tell high school students and parents.

Sorry to those who need to hear it, but lambda is not the ultimate software architecture model. You think you have a "simple" web application that speaks to a database and emits JSON. Wrong!
