When people on the BBC say the thing you e been saying for months - www.bbc.com/reel/video/p...

Heard a story of a founder looking to add client logos to the docs...my first thought:

Yep. Everything is completely broken. Resumes don’t tell the story. Job postings are copy and paste, reviewing does not scale, and interviewing is filled with bias.

Update on the job search front, things are not well on the tech hiring front. Here's some stats from my experience: - Over 100 applications and resumes/CVs submitted - 33% of companies auto-reject with no explanation

Always research your candidates! In prep for early voting, I learned that the candidate I thought I’d vote for was a do-nothing who paid for his current position and is just another rich white dude parading around as “one of the people”. Sorry @markpoloncarz.bsky.social, you backed the wrong horse

If you need a fairly good example of AI being built on a foundation of shifting sand, consider that autocorrect is a language based machine learning algorithm and it’s still not able to know people don’t mean “abs” when they want “and”

www.bbc.com/news/article... - interesting to see CEOs leading the ruination of their own product to earn the “We Use AI” sticker

I’ve just been informed there is a broadway musical based on The Lost Boys.

Lip-synching has forever and s still now the lamest #AMAs

Watching the #AMAs with my youngest. Hootie & The Blowfish are still awful and the first award went to some TikTok Star. This is the state of American Music. I feel bad for the legendary Queen Latifah for being the host.

A sad day for hip hop www.bbc.com/news/article...

So, watched The Crash and, tbh, those parents should have been jailed. She was the product of her parents’ negligence

Nothing like the troll you had to deal with on stage trying to foment more discontent

OH: “When you say “they can fix that with AI” some tech jackass will manifest it, the world will get worse, and a pixie dies”

Here’s this week’s Better Offline monologue. I walk you through how LLMs and the obsession with AI is actively destroying the fabric of the tech industry. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

Learn to say “thank you” in every language you can. You owe it to the person who speaks that language.

It takes 6-12 months to train an AI code review tool to review a team’s code with 70% confidence. It takes two months to train a junior engineer to do the same. Do with that information what you will.

Having an amazing time at #stackconf in Munich!

I’m a big fan of speakers that say LLM instead of AI. It rings with more honesty and clarity. AI has become a loaded term that is more marketing than actual intelligence.

If only there was some way to write *without* AI…hmmm….an idea to consider

Perhaps we should be replacing CEOs who make bad decisions.

When they said tech jobs would be lost to AI, they meant we’d be replaced by AI. What we are seeing is jobs being lost to bad decisions to invest in AI that don’t work out. So the company loses money because of AI. AI is costing jobs but not replacing them - just failing to deliver results.

For people who know me, you know I have issues with the term “thought leader”. Even worse than “influencer”, thought leadership used to be considered someone so brave and cutting edge, someone who inspired others.

Color me confused. They caved because Iran closed the strait, but now the US navy will control it?

I googled Amtrak trips out of Houston for the hell of it, since I’m not hopping on a plane anytime soon, And some of those trips are 60+ HOURS LONG! We could’ve had bullet trains for high-speed travel like Japan…but naw, RACISM! I hate this raggedy ass country w/ these raggedy ass voters! 🤬🤬🤬

Boy howdy is it depressing to be back in the US

I built a neovim plugin for GitButler's virtual branches cli. One status buffer gives you the but cli workflow in a neovim bufer — this pairs amazingly with neovim and ai workflows. Zero deps. Just the but CLI and neovim. github.com/abosnjakovic/gitbutler.nvim

Looking forward to hitting the stage at #PyConLT at 15:00 today to talk about the importance of developer tools (like git) in the modern dev space

I am inordinately excited about the @nasaartemis.bsky.social launch!

First it’s “force your employees to use AI” then it’s “but force them to use our AI, other companies have bad AI”

@paramountnewsbr.bsky.social pick up the FireFly animated series

So true! Come for the speed of building a webapp, stay for the helpful and friendly community. MINASWAN is still a thing, even through all the recent turmoil. (IME)
