@404mediaco Send my thanks to Jason for writing this article. I feel seen, in an extremely frustrating way. The ending of the piece was particularly salient; I felt like screaming, or crying, as I read it.

I’m so, so tired of reading crap that a human couldn’t even be bothered to write.

@platinumtulip Ever since I switched off of Spotify and started using Bandcamp, this has been my life.

And honestly it has not been bad at all, I miss Spotify way less than I thought I would.

@ProPublica Towing is a particularly relevant problem for me and one of my pet peeves. Glad to see a state taking a serious look at their towing laws and moving toward some sort of reform.

I think I’m gonna take a look at some of the stuff they did in CT and bring that into talks with my own representatives in my state to figure out what may or may not work. I honestly think the range of offences for which a car can be towed need to be wildly restricted, so I hope to see this hammered out more

@loucyx Ahhh yeah that makes a lot of sense. I consider myself pretty experienced in TypeScript, so I can totally see that all creating the perfect storm for bad LLM training.

It probably doesn’t help that humans - even good programmers - often aren’t very good at gradual type systems in other languages too. E.g. I’ve seen otherwise knowledgeable Python developers stumble using even basic type annotations like null. It’s a tragedy lmao

@loucyx I feel like most of them will either revert to normal developer or pick w/e the next trend is. I kinda think of it like the whole “web 3 engineer” thing: they’re into the tech, the tech is popular, so the tech is their identity. New tech? Repeat

Cynically I fear that LLMs will have a stronger sticking power on the ground level than any of the blockchain stuff did, so I anticipate many will still call themselves “Agentic Experts” etc…. until their apps get a massive data breach lol
