I have a LinkedIn alert for CTO jobs and for weeks they've been nothing but "founders" wanting someone to build a "next gen crypto trading platform" for no pay

To be fair, he's annoyed at them having missiles, he had no problem selling them as long as he could profit.

After watching some of the footage on Saturday, it's annoying to think "these are the people who will need to pull off a coup?"

I find it really frustrating that supporters of Open Protocols appear to live in cognitive dissonance of both wanting to be "used by everyone" and "to be a small gated community".

You can't keep money out forever and with that does come influence which I know. But eventually wouldn't you like to talk to your mother on a protocol you trust, with a client she understands?

No says the man of !fitgirls@lemmynsfw.com, thighs should never touch, no says the man of !midriffmoe@ani.social stomachs are more sexy, no say the man of !animefeet@lemmynsfw.com heavy breathing

I rejected those answers and demanded my skull be crushed by thicc thighs

I know there's people who could articulate it better than I can, but my logic goes like this:

  • Loss of critical thinking skill: This doesn't just apply for someone working on a software project that they don't really care about. Lots of coders start in their bedroom with notepad and some curiosity. If copilot interrupts you with mediocre but working code, you never get the chance to learn ways of solving a problem for yourself.
  • Style: code spat out by AI is a very specific style, and no amount of prompt modifiers with come up with the type of code someone designing for speed or low memory usage would produce that's nearly impossible to read but solves for a very specific case.
  • If everyone is a coder, no one is a coder: If everyone can claim to be a coder on paper, it will be harder to find good coders. Sure, you can make every applicant do FizzBuzz or a basic sort, but that does not give a good opportunity to show you can actually solve a problem. It will discourage people from becoming coders in the first place. A lot of companies can actually get by with vibe coders (at least for a while) and that dries up the market of the sort of junior positions that people need to get better and promoted to better positions.
  • When the code breaks, it takes a lot longer to understand and rectify when you don't know how any of it works. When you don't even bother designing or completing a test plan because Cursor developed a plan, which all came back green, pushed it during a convenient downtime and has archived all the old versions in its own internal logical structure that can't be easily undone.

Edits: Minor clarification and grammar.

Three million malware-infected smart toothbrushes used in Swiss DDoS attacks — botnet causes millions of euros in damages

I meet my 10-year-old self in 1987. I tell him I live in the future of 2024.

"2024! Wow! Do you have flying cars?"

"No."

"Oh. Well do you have Mars colonies?"

"No."

"Huh. Well you've gotta have a cure for every disease!"

"No."

"What do you have?!"

"We have a toothbrush that bad people can control remotely."

"...do I have to grow up?"

"Yes."

Elmo’s wellness check uncovers existential dread and despair on social media, nobody's ok right now

 

I can't believe how many virtual meetings in the last three years that people are still sharing their screens.

People seem to share their screens in 3 situations:

  1. Showing or explaining a document. Whether it be a slideshow or written document, people seem obsessed with idea that no one else knows how to read or that they write just as incompetently as they present.
  2. Explaining procedure. I get it, things can be complicated. Learn to screen record.
  3. Collaboration. Most conferencing apps have a whiteboard or other document creation apps have real time collaboration. You just don't want to use these things because you want to be in 100% control of what's being written down. You don't want a meeting, go do your own things, if you feel obligated to turn it into a meeting you just want attention.

We all have a limited time on this earth. We're not going to remember or care about the meetings in a year or two. Go find something meaningful to do with your life. Stop sharing your screen, and even better yet, don't have the meeting at all. We're not going to look back at the end of our lives and wish we'd had more meetings.

 
 

"Xbox Live and the ability to download new content is not a crutch to ship crappy software. And too often on the PC--I'm going to be blunt here--in the PC gaming space, games get out that developers know have problems because they know they can patch them later. They know they can force updates. And the act of playing [games online] becomes a pain in the ass, because you put the disc in and then you gotta download the patch and you gotta download the service pack and you gotta download the security hot fix, and then you gotta apply those things and reboot your machine. That's not an entertainment experience. That is not fun." -- Jeff Henshaw, Group Program Manager - Xbox, 2010-10-06
