Ian Campbell 🏴i love that we went from "zero trust" as a fundamental buzzword to "trust autonomous nondeterministic agents everywhere in your stack"
da_667@neurovagrant I still think your last observation about humans no longer being the weakest link in the chain is everything wrong with LLMs and I'll die on that hill.
@neurovagrant y'all remember the old demotivator memes from the early 2000s?
One of them read "None of us is as dumb as all of us." LLMs are non-deterministic balls of shit put together with the absolute dumbest takes from Reddit and StackExchange, thrown into that non-deterministic blender, to shit out what is probably the most awful code known to man. None of us is as dumb as all of us.

I have a big lithograph of Idiocy (a ring of skydivers captioned “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”).
For a while, they sold a shirt labeled “Insecurity”.
TheJaySunday@thejaysunday @da_667 @neurovagrant Agile! Because it sounds better than the other term we use for an unending series of sprints.
@bob_zim @da_667 @neurovagrant you got me. I was an agile product owner for 10 months. Then burn out and depression.
@thejaysunday My team is chronically understaffed. During one of the “We know agile has never worked for IT infrastructure in the past, so we’ll be the first to make it work!” cycles, they put each of us on four or five different agile teams. Each one had a 45 minute standup every day. It was this incredible combination of every wrong way to do agile, all together.
And they wondered why none of the work my team does was getting done in a reasonable timeframe.
