The newest term in the AI lexicon is
The industry is reorienting around software that uses itself. But giving ourselves permission to lean back and relax merely indulges an old and toxic tendency.

I turned off the keynote. I feel like I'm going certifiably insane. They admit that people can detect high quality AI only 25% of the time, and so their solution is to watermark AI content, with a watermark invisible to the naked eye? That solves absolutely nothing. I'm disgusted, honestly.

Setup my walking pad at my desk today so I could walk while watching Google IO, and then got the cursed exercise idea of "what if I increase the speed every time Sundar says AI" đź’€

Last Friday, we announced a ✨ new default structure ✨ for Kotlin Multiplatform projects. (Nothing like a late Friday afternoon release!) In case you missed that, here’s a quick recap of what’s new! 🧵👇

Developers have had impressively strong communities for a couple decades now, and we've accumulated a lot of power. Big corporations would prefer labor not have power, so what's a good way to take out one of the most powerful labor forces? Turn them back to cogs in the machine without community

We had a cleaning service come by the house today and while they were here I heard another noise and realized our roborock vacuum was going off. Doesn't it know it's been replaced by a human?

Not that anyone needs yet another reason to steer clear of Microsoft, but VSCode now adds Copilot as a co-author of all your commits, regardless if you used Copilot. This was added silently as a default. This is some next level insanity.

Wrote up something small about how I started using interface inheritance to handle inserting into multiple tables at a time in Room, when you have a common type used by multiple Daos and don't want to duplicate code.

The more I use AI tools, the more I have to admit that I'm not that much more productive... I simply FEEL that much more productive. In reality, the context switching of kicking several things off wipes out my perceived productivity gains. At least in many/most cases!
