Every AI Bro: We are here to save humanity. We will start by making electricity, water, and electronics more expensive in order to build a machine to put you out of a job. You may begin showering us with gratitude now.

Why I'm leaving GitHub for Forgejo | Jorijn Schrijvershof

I left GitHub for self-hosted Forgejo on a hardened NUC. The reason is digital sovereignty, not reliability outages. Here's the thinking and the architecture.

Mijn aanbeveling voor lokaas voor ratten: gemarineerde kalkoenbrochetten van bij Persoons in Wezemaal.
4 ratten te grazen in 3 dagen. 🪦🪦🪦🪦

Just as @pluralistic says: AI can’t do your job. But a sleazy AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with their shitty chatbot. And now those bad decisions are coming home to roost.

Google should have given the budget for "The Android Show" to @tornorbye for more episodes of the "Android Developers Backstage" podcast. That's the content that developers really need...

I'm underwhelmed by yesterday's Android/Gemini announcements. What a dud.

Remember the early days of Uber and Lyft, when rides were dirt cheap because the companies were operating at a loss in order to capture the minds/wallets of the masses?

The rug pull in the AI/LLM world when the companies adjust pricing to actually make a profit is going to be spectacular. Especially when you consider the numbers of people / orgs that are addicted to or dependent on such technology.

Laying off engineers, designers, and PMs because you think AI will replace them is a real “tell me you know nothing about AI without telling me you know nothing about AI” moment. You have it so comically backwards it’s more sad than anything else.

Honestly, as a professional who has spent their entire career working on the web, honing their skills, learning design, coding, best practices, and the intricacies of the web platform, it kind of sucks to get sent a Claude Design prototype by a client with the ask to implement it right away.

@jrconlin I fully agree.

Software is infinitely re-usable. That's why we rarely write the same software twice. That's why writing software is a craft.

But, the key word here is "development". Creating software isn't a production task, it's an R&D task. That means that a mistake in development affects all production going forward until it is fixed. Like a Ford Pinto fuel tank or a Stellantis PureTech wet belt. Development of anything doesn't automate the way production does.
