Reminder: code review is not "to catch mistakes", it is a tool for understanding to limit bus/lottery factor first and foremost. When code is written (if you're lucky) by one human, having the second human abdicate their judgment to the machine is actively harmful to your team's code understanding.

also, the one i'm hearing which is most insidious is the “AI code/peer review” use-case: that's how you deskill people

but we'll be told that humans are still in the loop! and if they ever were skilled they are actively becoming deskilled by the “AI review”

should be obvious, but zero talk re: it

Malleable Software: Restoring user agency in a world of locked-down apps

by me, @joshuahhh.com, @pvh.ca and @seaofclouds.com

It's about why people need agency over their software tools, and how to make that happen.
Malleable software: Restoring user agency in a world of locked-down apps
The original promise of personal computing was a new kind of clay. Instead, we got appliances: built far away, sealed, unchangeable. In this essay, we envision malleable software: tools that users can...

Over the last few weeks I've been incrementally merging infrastructure for AIO into postgres. Just now I finally merged the first actual user of AIO ("streaming reads" now can use AIO).

It's been a long long road. I've been, with a lot of help along the way, working on this since some time in 2019.
