Like everything else the moment Google had to optimize for shareholders thats what it started doing. Everything you see now is part of the quest for ever growing profits and ever climbing share prices.

So far it seems the same. I used Opus 5.5 for an hour this evening and it was just as painfully verbose as Opus 5. It also used the term "load bearing" 4 separate times.

I agree with the sentiment but unless it leads to better financial outcomes for them to A) have engineers on staff and B) have them know their systems then enterprise will continue looking for reasons to shed all the engineers and just leave everything to AI. Anecdotally I think most companies are still looking for ways for AI to help them shed headcount so raising this alarm doesn't mean anything to the decision makers at the top.

Kinda curious why releases just aren't fully immutable? Sane semver would dictate any update should at least be a new patch release.

"I can guarantee you" without any backing evidence is the very definition of "Source: trust me bro". I think at this point this is just trolling.

You can suspect all you want, I'm not here to argue with anyone's strong feelings about crypto either way. Just that there's an established pattern to how this particular market moves.

I'm well aware it's not a guarantee of future returns but as I said in my original message, this is a well established pattern. Until there's definitive evidence that it has stopped acting according to that pattern I'm going to disregard the "it's dead for real this time" crowd.

"History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes"

I'm not a TA nerd, but there is a very clear pattern that has been established. Crypto moves in cycles. You don't need to draw a ton of triangles and lines all over a chart to see the cycle this has gone through over and over.

Bitcoin (and crypto at large) goes through these 4 year cycles repeatedly. Each time people claim its dead, "this time is different", etc etc. It peaked at the end of 2024 and now we're in mid 2026...traditionally near the bottom of the cycle. There IS someone in the White House now that seems hellbent on driving the global economy into the ground but until there's definitive evidence that this time really is different, I'm going to assume it's business as usual and people screaming about how its over is just the buy indicator it's been many times in the past.

I forgot that US law applies everywhere.

So what's the moneyline on all these outages being the result of vibe-coded LLM-as-software-engineer/LLM-as-platform-engineer executive cost cutting mandates?

This feels more like Copilot-as-platform-engineer to me

I couldn't tell if the author was being ironic or just breathtakingly hypocritical.

I've used macOS for development for 15+ years now but always built my gaming rigs using Windows. For the first time in my life I'm so annoyed with Windows I'm seriously entertaining the idea of putting SteamOS on my rig and fighting my way through whatever nonsense I have to to make it work. I was able to tolerate a lot of Microsoft's nonsense so I could have a very easy path to just turn my machine on and play some games without having to think too much about it but my patience is finally at an end.

Oh I'm well aware. When I was an EM for a bit last year a bunch of colleagues told me they used ChatGPT to write their reviews. It was gross and I always hand crafted, small batch artisanal reviews when I'm in the managers chair.
