Large Heydon ColliderSaw someone on Reddit complaining of a high usage charge when asking Claude the weather. Look outside.

Chris Woody WoodruffAsked AI to design a payment system.
It returned 14 files, 3 abstraction layers, a service registry, and an event bus.
The requirement needed 1 file and 47 lines.
AI has learned from every architecture post that celebrates complexity. It gives you all of it, every time.
The 2 AM Test does not care who wrote the code. It asks whether a tired engineer can debug it.
AI gives you speed. The Three Filters give you direction.

#1️⃣Settle an argument between me and my wife:
Do you have a favorite spice?
(If you do, share it!)
Oh yeah, and can I get a boost, please? :) #food
Yes

My few contacts on here who know me at work now know that I’m looking for a job, so, uh, yeah, I’m looking for a new position.
I’m a stereotype. Long-time developer, perpetual polyglot (if pressed, I’m probably strongest in #dotnet, both framework and modern flavors, and favoring f#, but if you look at the list of languages in Rosetta code, you’ll see “my goal”), plenty of experience in different kinds of organizations, have a history that includes dedicated infosec work (pentesting, architecture, help desk, you name it), extensive Linux experience (admin, hacking, even building distros for appliances), and plenty of network engineering. I have mostly been in the fed/mil space and am looking to get out of that space for what I like to think are pretty obvious reasons.
I love learning, I love helping people learn, and I’m a big fan of companies that invest in that. I love giving talks, presentations, workshops, etc, and would love to talk at conferences for your company.
US only, remote greatly preferred but will commute if fairly local and will move for the right position (I have a family so I’d expect assistance with said move, but we’re not opposed to the concept).
Open to leadership roles, but only technical ones.
I’ve actually been looking since last march, though I’ve kept it on the DL since folks at work follow me on here.
I’m not in dire straits, I’m still employed, but
A. I don’t trust the direction the company is going and,
B. I’ve been pulled off of development work to do bog standard systems integration and deployment.
So I’m looking for a change.
And look, I’m not bullish on AI agentic coding (I’m not going to hide my distaste, feel free to scroll my posts), but if your company is using it I’m not going to turn down an offer. I’m nothing if not a team player.
Oh, one last thing: if your company is not lgbtqia+ friendly, it’s not “b4ux1t3 friendly” either. I make it a point to try to change organizations I am in for the better in that regard.
@jeremydmiller if it was generated slowly, with a human in the loop at each step, with careful review, there might be enough confidence there to support that code going to prod. If they just went hog wild though, that starts to feel sketchy (to me at least).
@jeremydmiller this is exactly what Tailwind ran into with their paid components. If the base product is easy enough to use and well documented, the LLM can be guided to fill in the middle and recreate the paid portion. That said, I wouldn’t completely write off your paid services, at least not yet. If people yolo a bunch of code trying to recreate what you’re offering, the question then becomes, how confident are they in supporting that LLM generated code?
@superflippy only if aluminum were more reliable and you could key it to identity, that could solve a large swath of security problems!
