After just having responded to the third #curl security report for the evening I noticed a post that cheered me up...

Have a good Friday everyone!

Great post on stewardship of the Moon.

We’ve left garbage/waste behind and previous visits to the Moon. Now that we’re heading back up there, perhaps on a more permanent basis, we should think about stewardship, as opposed to exploitation.

Anthropic's Claude Code's full source code leaked. Claude is seen by many to be the best coding LLM on the market with Anthropic proudly stating that Claude Code itself is mostly written by the LLM.

Now this sounds good as long as nobody can see the code which is quite the trash fire. Detecting "code sentiment" via regular expressions, variable and functions names containing prompt parts trying to influence the bot, a completely intransparent mess of a control flow that makes actual maintenance and debugging functionally impossible and the prompts ... of the prompts. All the begging and pleading to the chatbot not to do this or not to do that or please to do this.

It is fascinating but it is as far away from actual engineering as drunkenly pissing your name in the snow. Dunno what you call the people prompting software at Anthropic but "engineer" is not it.

Now it is fun to look at the currently hyped product striped bare and showing its pathetic quality but that is the future of software if we let those companies continue to undermine every good practice software engineering has tried establishing.

The software we have to use will be bad, insecure, unmaintainable, expensive with nobody having the skills or resources to build something better. As I wrote a few months ago: LLM based software production is equivalent to saying that fast fashion should be the only way to produce clothing. A tragic degeneration of the quality of the artefacts we rely on build for maximum profit on the backs of people in countries from the global majority.

Liebs wie gerade in eigentlich allen Ländern des Westens alle Regierungen am Herumkrebsen sind, weil GOTTVERDAMMT NIEMAND DEN MUT HAT die Reichen und Superreichen anzutasten sondern bei allen Steuerprogrammen und Reformen immer so getan wird als würden die nicht existieren und man müsste alles ohne deren Geld hinkriegen.

Fucking hell Leute, da steht ein gigantischer goldener Elefant im Raum, der alles Geld einsaugt und Rechtslibertarismus scheißt.

Hört auf euch und uns selbst zu betrügen.

Welllllll this isn't great.
