As I watch what's happening in Minneapolis and around the country ; to me the immediate risk of AI is that it's consolidating power and wealth in the hands of tech executives that willingly endorse what's happening as long as they get their GPUs.
Let's build a technology so powerful it can end civilization, but don't worry, we'll run it in a sandbox we vibe coded so it can't read your email.

Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

I work in tech. I emailed my leadership letting them know I hope they acknowledge the events in Minneapolis and take a position. Small as it is; there was a time when I wouldn't have had to ask. I don't know how but I want to try to hold tech accountable.

I think the market keeps wanting to believe things haven't changed but they have. We are very clearly in an era where the president is willing to go after anyone, any country or any company that displeases him. The volatility should scare most investors.

I don't understand the argument that acquiring Greenland is vital to our national security. I can't think of anything more dangerous and a bigger gift to Russia and China than the fracturing of NATO.
How are these clowns in charge?

If we think aggressively pursuing Greenland and threatening NATO is bonkers and undermines US security and economic interests; what do we do? How do we encourage Congress to fulfill its constitutional responsibility and restrain the president?

What options are there for replacing my LinkedIn page with a resume hosted on PDS/AtProto
1. Do we have an existing schema/proto for storing it as structured data
2. Is there a webapp that can be used to edit mine and view others

Has the tech industry crossed over from optimism to toxic positivity? There was a time when events like what's happening in Minneapolis would have elicited at the least internal comms acknowledging how troubling that was. Is that happening? I don't think so.

one reason we keep doing coding interviews even though they no longer make sense is because we know how to do them using coderpad. I think coderpad could help advance the field by supporting new styles of questions. E.g here's a large code base use AI to figure out X works

Finally got a round to deleting my X account. Exporting my data was surprisingly easy. I assume that is a testament to the great engineering at Twitter pre Elon.

We need a symbol like TM to indicate "I don't really know what this means either so your best bet is to ask AI." Here's an example using AA as the symbol.
"We use chz blueprints[AA] to manage the definition of our eval jobs."

I'm optimistic that AI will commoditize compute and lead to a new wave of apps running on compute you own. Cloud compute has a lot of benefits (e.g. reliability) but managing EC2/GCE was too hard. AI is a powerful new tool compared to SAAS which trades ease of use for loss of control
I want this next generation of software development tools to run on my own computer. Vim and Emacs helped democratize software development and made it accessible. We shouldn't allow this AI wave to take us backwards.
I really hope the open source community can keep pace.

I wonder how many people aren't trying Codex CLI and Claude Code because they think it's for SWEs and they don't consider themselves SWEs?
Is a CLI the right UX for this audience? Does it need to be a Cloud IDE like replit?

Git is so deeply ingrained in software engineering it's hard to remember what a barrier to entry it can't be. In a world where anyone can write code with AI I don't think the answer to "where do I save it" can be create a git repo. The UX needs to be as seamless and intuitive as Google Docs.

Software engineering and coding are not the same thing
Coding = getting persnickety machines to do what you want with esoteric syntax
Software engineering = solving business problems with software.
AI will solve coding but not software engineering; that requires customer empathy

My coding prediction for the year is that by end of 2026 agents will be good enough to write 90% or so of all code for production, and developers won’t all lose their jobs but there will be a prolonged mass grief event as they mourn the loss of hand-writing most code, an uneconomical activity

Two central competing AI narratives are
1. AI let's you do the same work with less people -> job loss
2. AI let's you solve problems you couldn't before -> create entrepeneurs
I think enterprises are structurally geared to the former; i.e layoffs and stock buyback
