There is a massive disconnect between the indie games community and the technoloy industry at large, Paul - the disconnect being that indies try to make games and a large part of the technology sector makes disposable startups to flip as much VC money as possible at the expense of everything.

I do not worry about being "left behind" due to the adoption of LLM coding agents. I worry about a massive dip in the quality of software that's already been moldering for years due to the adoption of LLM coding agents. I worry about the FOSS maintainers who are already under-compensated for their work burning out entirely having to deal with the adoption of LLM coding agents. I worry about the environmental impact of the adoption of LLM coding agents. I worry about the laundering of FOSS (and non-FOSS source available!) code into projects that are now legally culpable due to the adoption of LLM coding agents. I worry about the people who can no longer write code without leaning on an LLM coding agent becoming helpless without spending ridiculous (and increasing) amounts of money to companies that may or may not exist in a year due to the adoption of LLM coding agents. I do not worry about being "left behind" when it all comes crashing down and people who are actually skilled have to pick up the pieces and rebuild due to the adoption of LLM coding agents.

I like how the internet has got to the point where random sites feature fake quotes by me, occasionally regarding research I never did, sometimes while working in positions I've never held.

The UK government is now 3-0 down against Kneecap, and 2-0 down on proscribing Palestine Action; it seems perhaps they ought to adjust the strategy of "spending tens of millions of dollars arguing that opposing the genocide we participate in is terrorism, actually". www.bbc.com/news/article...

Well this changes the tone
