Software Engineer / Dev Manager from the #Chicago area, hackin' on semantic-to-a-fault web tech since '98.

Likes: #Lisp, #Scheme, #Clojure, #Emacs, #Guix, and the #web (the hypertext dream, semantics and #a11y, and even the ugly scheme: #JavaScript).

Hates: Gods and Masters. (Also Java.)

β€œThere 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.”

Programming Still Sucks. β€” Writing

Sorry Peter. β€” 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.

This #Simpsons scene comes to mind whenever I think of the #AI glazers who decided to remove their prefrontal cortex:

I love the vibecoding subreddit so much

- Spent 6 months vibecoding my app and nobody wants to use it ;_; https://old.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1sowsio/has_anyone_else_been_surprised_by_the_absolute/
- Claude telling a user "stop outsourcing your homework to me and go read OWASP like an adult" https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Frgkdrxgbwxvg1.png
- People upset about it being filled with AI slop https://old.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1sprf2u/we_should_change_this_subreddit_to_raislopposting/

"I hate that I just got into using AI to make apps and now my Reddit feed is an overwhelming sludge of what are clearly ads written by AI."

I'm so sorry for you

This is from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Just thought I'd post it here for no particular or current reason.

My Antifa team leader is pissed.

Having the organisation reclassified has placed us under a totally new compliance framework and making the process changes is going to throw out all our KPIs for Q4. Nobody's getting a bonus in this performance review cycle. What total bullshit.

A bill introduced by Michigan lawmakers last week would ban pornography, ASMR, depictions of transgender people, and VPNs for anyone using the internet in the state.

Michigan Lawmakers Are Attempting to Ban Porn Entirely

The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" proposes a total ban on porn in the state, and also targets the existence of trans people online, content like erotic ASMR, and selling VPNs in the state.
