so anyway, the METR study that has AI coding making devs 19% slower has gone mainstream! It was on CNBC!

I urge you not to watch that unless you have a yearning need to know what the normies are hearing about this shit. In summary, they are hearing that AI coding isn't all that actually and may not do what the captains of industry want.
around 2:30 the two talking heads ran out of information and just started incorrecting each other on the fabulous AI future, like the worst work lunchroom debate ever but it's about AI becoming superhuman
the key takeaway for the non techie businessmen and investors who take CNBC seriously ever: the bubble starts not going so great

Carolyn@hosford42 @bencurthoys @Professor_Stevens @ReggieHere @kibcol1049 looking up the origin of “boycott” is interesting. simply, a man named Boycott did his community wrong, so he was shunned by everyone. Not only were his services not needed but no one would serve him in any capacity.

I'm a Debian user and supporter and have been for longer than many of the folks I follow here on Mastodon have been alive. Yeah, I'm old. Shut up! 😂
Anyway, this blog post by @markpitblado is great and hits on many of the reasons why I've been a Debian user for so many years.

One year in, Debian feels like home
Roughly one year ago, I made the transition from Linux Mint to Debian. This feels like my forever operating system. Instead of having a computer that is constantly pinging you, there is peace and tranquility. Debian does what it says on the tin, nothing less, nothing more.

baconandcoconut@nixCraft This reminds me of the posts people used to make saying, "I have a really excellent idea for a business and know exactly how to sell it, but just need someone to code up the app. No money now, but you'd get a cut of my huge profits when I get rich off this idea."
Toni Aittoniemi@nixCraft 50-60k lines and already in technical debt! 😆
Daniel Molkentin@nixCraft my kind of ragebait post.
Canageek@rotopenguin @nixCraft I mean, honestly I do it for whatever he's paying but I'd also do very little work, charge an obscene number of hours and then tell him that the AI hallucinated all of the code so he needs to pay someone to redo it, but that might just be me being evil
