I wonder how much of the LLM-for-coding hype is because the last 15 years in mainstream coding veered ever more enterprisey layer cakes that took all the fun out of programming

Companies are realizing that pushing people to using "AI" is expensive (even at the subsidized pricing going on right now)

Companies go full AI — then the bill comes due

Around the world, the enterprise AI revolution rockets forth at full speed! Get rid of those annoying and expensive employees! Replace them with the magical truth machine! And the huge push for Cla…

Wieso hat diese Petition eigentlich noch keine 250.000 Unterschriften? Die einzige Forderung: eine einfachere und gerechte #Erbschaftssteuer. Weil Milliardäre oftmals gar nichts zahlen.

Sollte doch in unser aller Interesse sein 👇

Your LLM Doesn't Write Correct Code. It Writes Plausible Code.

One of the simplest tests you can run on a database:

@gerrymcgovern The stats for the vibe-coded SQLite rewrite in Rust being literally thousands of times slower than SQLite are simply wild. Such as needing almost 2 seconds to do 100 single-ID lookups. I'm pretty sure I could improve on that operation just by slurping a CSV with unique row IDs into memory and doing a binary search on said row IDs. Would I want to? No, but I'm also not *trying* to build an actual RDB engine either.

AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming

The internet really went to shit when browsers stopped putting a little RSS icon on the address bar, didn't it?

Heh heh…I'm starting to see a NEW hype cycle emerge. This hype cycle is: walking back from the embrace of slop machines!

We're just at the early adopter phase now, but it's gathering momentum folks. Some big names—BIG I tell you!—are just now starting to make waves about this. You might want to get in on the ground floor before it's too late! You don't want to be…left behind.

Human skill, expert review, intentional accountability. *Mindblowing stuff.* This is the future folks. Totally.
