As a programmer, I wish I could help people understand that the fastest part of any project is writing the code...

Non-programmers always want to throw more code writers at a project to speed things up. The "Mythical Man Month" problem aside,

the bottlenecks are all the legwork involved in defining the problem, the scope of this particular task, and fully testing it.

Even before AI, writing code was fast and we already have a lot of tools to crank it out...if we're clear on *what* to crank out.

This is prolly true in all fields, this difference in understanding between the people who actually work in a field, and the people who are adjacent to that field.

Können wir JETZT bitte Spotify canceln?

Dass sie
- Künstler unterbezahlen
- Random Podcasts auslöschen
- Ki " Musik " zulassen
Und
- Werbung für ICE in den USA schalten, hat ja noch nicht gereicht.

Aber der 0-8-15 User wird das auch noch nutzen und wie so'n batteriebetriebener Klatschaffe die Hände aneinanderhauen und sinnentleert grinsen, während vor allem kleinen Künstlern jegliche Grundlage für ein auskommendes Schaffen zerstört wird.

Reflect Orbital wants to destroy the night sky to deliver "sunlight as a service". SpaceX wants to destroy Low Earth Orbit to launch one million "AI datacentres"

The only way to formally protest these two ideas is to file a comment with the US FCC, which is horribly complicated, but the American Astronomical Society has detailed instructions posted here: https://aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02/how-submit-comments-satellite-applications-fcc

Comments due March 6 for SpaceX and March 9 for Reflect Orbital. Write! Write! Write!
