First meeting of the day.
Title: "Review Software Test Plan".
Actual topic of meeting: "Review this thing my LLM spat out, which looks a bit like a software test plan, but completely fails to include any details of how we actually do things, or even what the project is about."
Customer: "Hey, we found a bug in your stuff. Here's a .pcap which triggers it. Can you fix it?"
Us: "Sure, we fixed it, and we added your .pcap as a test case!"
<repeat several times>
<years elapse>
Me: "This .pcap looks like a capture from a live network. Are we sure we don't have people's personal data in here?"
Project manager: "Oh. I never thought of that."
Starting to wonder why I ever chose to look into #OAuth in any detail.
I don't think I've ever seen another protocol which attracts so many blowhards and reply guys.
Tip: When an RFC starts with a section labelled "1. Introduction", it's a good idea to read that section, to get some idea of how it fits into the ecosystem.
My first week for work for #2026 draws to a close ... and most of the discussion with my boss has been on the topic of "what do we do about this bloody #idiot #slopmonger we've ended up with on the team"?
I hope the year takes a turn for the better, ideally very soon.

Watching a presentation with a slide that says...
"Humanoids: The Next Frontier In Global Productivity!"
Complete with a number-go-up graph showing that humanoid robots - powered by AI, of course! - will be worth 100 billion dollars by the year 2040.
Please, no ... what fresh hell is this?

Specifically, that it's easy to be productive with it even when one of your colleagues is being a complete numpty and repeatedly pushing changes that make no sense and break the entire system for everyone around him.
This is presumably by design. I bet Linus sometimes has this problem too.
