i was talking to one of the iOS devs where team size was slashed by 30% this year and everyone was forced to adopt AI. he said the stress is too much and in most cases i don't even know what claude is doing and i just blindly pass that shit now. his exact words were there is no way i can double check 5000 lines of junk produced in seconds. nobody can check it and he said he lost all interest in this craft. he is keeping his job to feed his kids

This website is great! This website is awful… It’s awful what it can easily do, great that they are teaching about web browser fingerprinting.

taken.

A web page that tells you what your browser gave away the moment you arrived. No login, no form, no permission. Most pages do this. None of them tell you.

This is *brutal*...

"There are no more juniors. There was a funeral for their passing in 2024. Nobody came. The machine does what they do now, but cheaper. Of course, juniors weren't valuable for what they produced, they were valuable for who they would become: the senior engineer who knows where the bodies are buried. We optimized for output, and abolished apprenticeship. A few years from now, we'll wonder where all the seniors are. We shot them. Nobody will remember."

Sorry Peter. — I'm at a birthday party, and while most people here also work in tech, there's always a Guy with a Real Job. You know, a physical job, building some or other thing people need. And this Guy always asks some variant of the same question: aren't you worried AI is taking your job? I glance around and see a few faces turning around toward us, rolling their eyes ever so slightly before returning to their previous conversation. Yes, this question again.

Since satire is practically hardwired into the Austrian DNA, you can now officially place bets on train delays.
Don’t worry, you’re not wagering your life savings, it’s just a satirical social experiment, but it’s pretty hilarious.

And naturally, the famously "on-time" trains of Deutsche Bahn are the stars of the show.
