The Register: New endowment hopes to raise a big pile of money for open source projects. “Open source developers may also be fortunate enough to receive contributions from individuals, companies (when not passing the buck), and government-sponsored initiatives like Germany’s Sovereign Tech Fund. But OSE aspires specifically to build a big pile of cash – an endowment – that it will dole out […]

Fuck me, the Stack Overflow beta is *horrible*.

Question pages look like a bastard mix between Reddit and ChatGPT.

The answer text area is auto-focussed and hijacking browser shortcuts.

There is no visible separation between question and answers.

#SoftwareDevelopers lack class-awareness since decades.

Back in the '80 #hackers crew were hunted down for a reason: too much awareness of their power, with full control over the means of production, firmly attached over their neck.

We could have led a #revolution.
We built #BigTech infrastructure, instead.

But it's never too late! 😎

Today #LLM and #vibecoding give us full plausible deniability whenever we inject a vulnerability in the software we code!

I wasted an hour of my time to deal with a Github issue that was, it turns out, at least partially LLM-generated. User is posting an issue for platform A while, when digging deeper, it turns out they're actually running platform B.

So I asked them politely to stop using ChatGPT for their comments, because they contain bullshit.

Next comment starts with “Good catch, and sorry for the confusion.”

So issue closed 🤬

I guess the magic words to silence people that say "it should be easy to implement this feature” are “Feel free to issue a PR”.

Shuts them up every time… 🙄

Microsoft made a splash this week during #MSIgnite with the rollout of its new #Agent365 #AIagent control plane. I took an in-depth look at how updates to #AzureAI Foundry and other tools could affect #softwaredevelopers within this broader strategy: https://www.techtarget.com/searchsoftwarequality/news/366634569/Microsoft-Azure-AI-Foundry-ties-in-with-Agent-365

Microsoft Azure AI Foundry ties in with Agent 365

Azure AI Foundry adds context, including model routing, and tightens governance for developers working on AI agents within its broader Agent 365 control plane.
