You already see this pre-ai with apps asking me to update everytime i open the damn thing…

People protesting in the United States?!?!? Unthinkable

If we taxed him a little more i might be able to afford a tiny violin to play to mourn his unfair treatment

there is a 3rd option and it involves us organizing and actually exerting some of our power as the critical dependency in basically all of the modern economy.

In my experience reliability and simplicity have decreased, LOC for every feature is at least 2x what it was, more incidents than ever before. What kills me is if we just applied llm programming to the old ways of doing things and got our minor speedup but refined our approach, got ai to catch things we normally wouldn’t, did the extra refactor we normally wouldn’t we could increase reliability and simplicity. But management wants the velocity more than those things.

also stupidly updated and mission control and window management is so crazy buggy, adopting your embargo from now on if I can keep my sanity

as someone using AI, it is mania, leadership has decided it is so and software is getting worse. we could have just accepted our 20% bump and been happy, fixed bugs, made things better quality, nope, ship half assed features at 2x speed, pretend claude is infallible and will solve all our problems, brand reputation? user research? pixel perfect designs? what are you a dinosaur?

So you don’t dispute this reporting, don’t dispute that this was Musk’s idea, which implies he lied about it immediately afterwards.

And just so i am clear on your philosophy there is no guilt that rides whatsoever with presenting this capability to the leader of the free world who then goes and does exactly what you suggested resulting in many people dying while a nation fights for its life.

Reporting literally just came out that throttling starlink for ukraine was his idea…but sure he is just a helpless innocent billionaire with no control whatsoever

I feel like this was always true to an extent, now product and design are just more tolerant of it because leadership is cracking a whip over their heads because things are supposed to be much faster “because ai” so things like pixel perfect hand offs, adhering to existing design system, making sure you are aligned with the brand, copy is reviewed with marketing go out the window. Now everything is shipping in hackathon mode with an eng driving decisions they really should not be.

people have been saying "it's been a minute" to mean a long time since at least the 90s in NY

this is so cool :) thinking about some remixes already with maritime traffic and tides
