Who cares if Studies Show that LLMs make 62% of developers 10% faster if you’re in that 48%? Same with vim, or TDD, or static types. On some level this stuff is useful, but on another, it doesn’t really matter

I just repaired the GRUB2 boot loader of a remote machine while live on a recorded call with a FIPS certification lab.
I feel invincible.

I just finished a trip to REI where I bought a Patagonia jacket, Timberland shoes, and Birkenstocks, and I feel like I must now move to Colorado springs or Austin.

AI won’t replace developers. The job will become catching up with the latest paper, product, framework, tool etc.
One day every project will be famous for 15 minutes.

To be clear, there's also some misunderstanding of this reason.
I know anything I post online can be scraped & used to train AI. That I'm okay with.
Musk's Nov 15 terms gave him perpetual royalty free license on all our content. That goes way beyond anonymous AI training. That's legal IP theft.

When I asked Bluesky users why they left X, many said they didn’t want their posts training AI.
But with Bluesky’s open API, anyone can scrape posts for that purpose. A HuggingFace employee just shared a dataset of 1M posts.
The reality: if you post online, assume it’ll be used to train AI.

Someone Made a Dataset of One Million Bluesky Posts for 'Machine Learning Research'
A Hugging Face employee made a huge dataset of Bluesky posts, and it’s already very popular.

I just did my first interview with a journalist about Bluesky and the AT Protocol. I'm finally at the point where I can talk confidently about this stuff and see enough potential to genuinely be optimistic about the future.
