- "As someone who had found decades of joy in crafting what I believe to be elegant, highly-maintainable code, I'm surprised at what I'm promoting." buff.ly/FtqGYe2 #ai #aadv #softwareengineering #developerexperience

- "One limitation on how much I can ask it to do at is: the amount of code I'm willing to look at." buff.ly/aETSpZX #ai #softwareengineering #developerexperience
- "Despite claims of innovation and disruption, there's tremendous pressure to look legitimate by conforming to established visual language, which apparently means anatomical openings." buff.ly/gJqbzmQ #ai #innovation #branding
- "Divide the components into small pieces and let AI finish the work. Fixing a defective brick is far more cost effective than re-architecting an entire building." buff.ly/rDObIPR #ai #softwareengineering #developerexperience #softwarearchitecture

- "Unlike human relationships where trust typically grows over time, AI trust often peaks early and declines. And when trust erodes, so does productivity." buff.ly/IyMyMee #ai #softwareengineering #developerexperience #productivity
- "A Sociopath with an idea recruits just enough Losers to kick off the cycle. As it grows it requires a Clueless layer to turn it into a controlled reaction rather than a runaway explosion. Eventually, as value hits dim..." buff.ly/7yQynqf #organizations #systems #itsal…
- "In August, they're going to start realizing that there are many balls dropped. There are systems that haven't been worked on or planned for. The people that do the planning are the ones that they got rid of." buff.ly/pA4R6ds #civilservice #doge #fafo

- "The period was so far like the present period that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."
- "'It was fine before we added your code' doesn't mean that the team merged last did a poor job. This is counterintuitive but worth considering. If the merges had happened in..." buff.ly/YJxepAR #softwareengineering #developerexperience #mergeconflicts #continuousintegr…

- "The trick was to find a way to keep the law going for Christian Germans who supported or at least tolerated the Nazis, while ruthlessly executing the führer's directives against the state's enemies, real and perceived."
- "[Brexit Britain] too was a country committing economic suicide to chase the ghosts of an imagined past while promising an impossible future."
- "It really is like pair programming with another person, if that person was like a summer intern who believes in conspiracy theories *and* the world's best software architect." buff.ly/UhxghhP #aiassisted #vibecoding #nope
- "The code LLMs produce is necessarily "old school," since that's what the bulk of publicly available code looks like. That should hint at another scary likelihood: A new mass of ..." buff.ly/b5erUdA #aiassisted #llms #aadv #softwareengineering #developerexperience #doo…
- "Generating more output that doesn't function correctly is not the same as being more productive." buff.ly/MfYOZP1 #ai #productivity
- "The dopamine hit of instant answers has replaced the satisfaction of genuine understanding." buff.ly/gBGJHkL #aiassistance #softwareengineering #developerexperience
- "This wasn't about prescribing a solution at all; it was about holding a set of values that can help us make difficult decisions where user data just isn't enough." buff.ly/a0SRq9c #product #datadriven #opinionated
- "AI does not eliminate the need for structured thinking about how to solve problems, which is the core of programming. It presents a new layer of abstraction." buff.ly/pGo5s1F #aiassistance #programming #softwareengineering
- "Kill one mainframe. Successfully replace the software running in one mainframe. Let us know how you achieve that — and then update your timeline. That would be orders of magnitude easier than what is being claimed here." buff.ly/0ZW73B7 #ai #hype #softwareengineering …

- "This is the problem with telling people over and over again that it's all a big bubble about to pop. They're staring at the floor of AI's current abilities, while each day the actual practitioners are successfully raising the ceiling." buff.ly/vX1Nw8D #ai #skepticism
