So here is where legacy code does not exists
What if "LLMs looking smart and useful" in software development is correlated to the enshittification of development itself?

Today I configured renovatebot to a 2y old go project. Wow... I am not ready for what will happen in the other npm/svelte project I want to do the same for.

I am also not sure I have the energy to do it at this point

it’s okay to admit that LLM-shaped software development just isn’t fun for you. You can accept the consequences and still dislike the shift.

Whether code generation sticks around or not, the craft already feels very different—and I’m not convinced that’s neutral.

Anyone else wrestling with this?

When I started my own business I wrote a few PHP pages to help me to manage the company. Collecting documents, contracts, contacts... Well I am adding invoices... yep I am this brave

I noticed an invoice for a wiki service from a very popular company that also does the project management tool we all love. Well for a small startup it is ~90$ a month. I run a dokuwiki my small business for free and sure OSS has hidden costs and complexity, but I am glad for what I can do with it

Every time I see a personal blog moving from oss/hosted to something like medium, substack or similar I die a little bit or I those blogs are popular enough I think they got paid to move.

The easiest thing I can fully automate
That’s it! I think the title self explains what is my north start when it comes to DevOps, infrastructure and such. The selection of tools, the skills we have as team, the longevity of the projects are all things to keep under consideration in order to build a sustainable environment but at the end what […]

I was laid off last week. I'm excited to start a new chapter where I can put my knowledge and dedication to work. I believe every chapter closes to make room for something more rewarding. I'm keen to discover the next opportunity. Learn more: www.linkedin.com/pos... #OpenToWork
Chris Short Résumé | Chris Short
I'm looking for a new role! With 30 years in the industry, I'm excited to start a new chapter. I believe every ending creates space for something more rewarding. I love taking intricate technical concepts and making them click for people. Whether through content, community work, or strategic enablement, my best days are when I help practitioners understand powerful tools and drive adoption. What I Bring My career bridges deep technical capability with clear communication: Content That Drives Adoption: I've created 700+ hours of video content and maintain newsletters reaching 6,300+ subscribers (DevOps'ish, EKS.news). I've given countless talks that translate complexity into clarity, driving revenue and reducing support load. Community Impact: As a former CNCF Ambassador and current Kubernetes Contributor Comms co-lead, I led communications for the K8s registry migration, achieving zero downtime globally. I've onboarded dozens of contributors and helped shape how we discuss cloud native tech. Shipping Big Things: I led the AWS re:Invent 2023 Kubernetes track with 50+ speakers and 30+ sessions, improving CSAT scores. I drove Valkey's developer engagement strategy—it's now the de facto Redis fork worldwide. I organized and hosted GitOpsCon EU 2021 with 300+ attendees, making it a top 2 KubeCon Day 0 event. Earlier in my career, I led a $1M AWS cloud migration with measurable savings. Technical Depth: I bring 30 years across IT ops, DevOps, the Kubernetes/CNCF ecosystem, open source tooling (Linux/Ansible), multi-cloud environments, and container technologies. Bonus: I'm now AI-enabled. What I'm Looking For Roles where technical experience meets storytelling. Three must-haves: customer-facing, cloud-native, and storytelling-heavy. Developer Advocate, Technical Marketing Manager, and Product Marketing Manager roles fit perfectly. Solutions Architect positions could work if they involve customer-facing technical communication and enablement. I'm especially interested in companies building cloud native tools or Kubernetes-based platforms—that's my playground. The Remote Piece I need remote work as a disabled veteran managing nerve/spine damage, PTSD, and anxiety. My Detroit care team keeps me going. I'm near a major Delta hub and have done same-day international trips when needed. Remote doesn't mean unavailable—I'm committed to being responsive and engaged. Let's Connect After three decades, I know my value: I make complex tech accessible, build communities around products, and drive adoption through authentic technical storytelling. I'm available now for full-time roles; contract work could also fit. If you're building something great and need someone who translates technical depth into business impact, let's talk. Contact: https://lnkd.in/g-CbGNdT Resume: https://lnkd.in/gzdjdQxB Here's to embracing new chapters and exciting challenges ahead.

you are getting better and better when it comes to marketing! "Don't use it" is the best you can say to get user adoption! 😁
I made a simple agent for PR reviews. Don't use it.
Reviewbot is eternal, yet also very cooked.

It looks like nobody can figure out or does not know anything anymore if not what an LLM suggests to them and if it happens to not work as suggested as nothing can be done anymore.

If this trend continuous I see big opportunities if you can save your brain

it is another one of those days. nix garbage prune, docker system prune, cargo please release my Gb.

I can't believe I need to deal with all of these things with 500Gb local disk.

I still think about when New Relic wrote a blog arguing that customers should leave vendors acquired by private equity (PE) b/c prices will go up+quality will go down. It was a stab at Sumo Logic just bought by PE.

6 months later New Relic got bought by PE...and deleted the blog

Recently I saw my GitHub account from somebody else computer and I noticed my activity being almost zero in opensource. We have also moved back a few years, and it looks like it has been 3–4 years since I actively contributed to a project.

Not sure how I feel about it, but it was a bit unexpected 😅

Overall I think #nixos is doing a great job. I use it every day but from my standpoint the effort I need to put in place to do something that I will do with a couple of kubectl, docker command is hard to justify.

But I get it, a lot depends on your standpoint as I said
