Haha. Enshitification at its best. Or is that adification?

"After a team member summoned Copilot to correct a typo in a PR of mine, Copilot edited my PR description to include and ad for itself and Raycast."

"Over the years, I observed this clever behavior not only when writing code, but also when designing systems and team structures. I think of this phenomenon as a premature abstraction and I think it might be one if not the most costly mistake when building software." by Ben Barten

"It seems like 99% of society has agreed that code is dead. Just yesterday I was listening to podcaster Sam Harris of all people confidently talking about how everyone agrees coding is dead, and that nobody should learn to code anymore.
This is so sad. It's the same as thinking storytelling is dead at the invention of the printing press. No you dummies, code is just getting started. AI is going to be such a boon for coding."

"Today we are incredibly excited to open source Edge.js, a JavaScript runtime specifically designed to safely run Node.js workloads for AI and Edge computing.

The goal is simple: run your existing Node.js applications safely and with density and startup times that are impossible to get with containers."

"We envision a more helpful generation of coding agents to both carry out their tasks and formally prove their implementations against strict specifications. Instead of debugging machine-generated logic, humans dictate what they want. Today, we are taking the first major step toward that vision."

"In recent episodes, Harry made a claim that the path to AI profitability runs through labor replacement. “Stop paying $1M in salaries by paying $100K for this AI-based service.” Simple. Clean. Measurable.

And woefully incomplete." by Kent Beck

Published in the prestigious New York Times Magazine, the article even cites long-time programming guru Kent Beck saying LLMs got him going again and he's now finishing more projects than ever, calling AI's unpredictability "addictive, in a slot-machine way."

"Die meisten Manager, die ich erlebt habe, behandeln Schätzungen aber wie eine Prognose, also eine Vorhersage über die Zukunft.

Wenn die Zukunft dann zur Gegenwart geworden ist, vergleicht man die Schätzung aus der Vergangenheit mit einem Wert, der sich zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt entwickelt hat. Das passt nicht zusammen."
