I'm not really following the latest episode of the fedidrama.

Instead, I'm replying work-related assertions of "you just have to tell the LLM what you want into specific terms and you'll never have to write code ever again" with this 2016 gem from CommitStrip.

A very comprehensive and precise spec

This comment sums up why I’m so tired of programming in 2026 pretty well

that 00's joke has gone from cringe OS fanboy wars to Utopia levels of uncomfortable relevance:

> Why do astronauts use Linux?
> Because you can't open windows in space.

The main skill of a human compared to a LLM ? The ability to say "I don't know" and deal with that inability

"Over the last 20 years the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project has collected an enormous amount of data about our planet and written a lot of Open Source software. OSM-based maps and apps are everywhere.

I appreciated this article by @mttaggart
infosec.exchange.

I get the temptation especially in this world we're all living in where you have to produce something super fast all the time.

But my question is, what are people's arguments for how functioning software can be created with these tools?

What about new architectures, new ways of thinking, new programming languages, etc? Who will create those?

I used AI. It worked. I hated it.

I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.
