If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

i've said forever that it takes years to evaluate any new tech
have to get past your initial excitement bias, see what unforeseen issues pop up, understand how it scales with complexity
this 100% applies to coding with AI also

Some (not so good) updates:
- Degoogling has stalled. Unfortunately every Android patch adds more invasion like Gemini etc. I deactivated useless (to me) G apps and that's it.
- keeping my FB alive. I don't use it but I don't want to lose a decade (2009-2019) of photos/history.
- Lemmy sucks

Current mood tech-wise:
1. degoogle my phone as much as I can 🚧
2. finish migrating from on OneDrive to TabDigital's #NextCloud 🚧
3. kill #Xitter account ✅
4. kill FB account ☔
5. use #Lemmy, step down using Reddit 🚧
6. stop using HackerNews, use #Lobste.rs ✅

Thanks everyone for your help and keep fighting the good fight. 🫶
Chat Control will not get a majority - at least not today.

When you use coding agents for something that produces the bulk of the code of an application that will be used for years, also factor in the technical debt that you are happily accumulating. When you use LLMs an an aid, you could, on the contrary, improve your coding culture.

Walking cross Milan streets and unwillingly listening to that tra-ta-tah mindfart that is "trap". Sometimes I watch this video to remind what pop music once was. So powerful. Matia Bazar. Antonella Ruggiero. What a song! What a singer! What a voice control! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayxt...

BG says it so clearly.... Why the fuck don't we focus to the problem at hand!? #gaza
If there's one thing you watch today, make it this
Bob Geldof criticises Israel for what they're doing in Gaza
Then criticises Trevor Philips for making excuses for what Israel is doing in Gaza
Part 3/3

It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

Rspack and rsbuild keep rocking and improving.
It's unfortunate that this project doesn't get the visibility it deserves around tech social media.
I still remember TFW I got a build reduction from 10 mins to 10 seconds when succeeded in migrating an internal project away from CRA to rsbuild 1.0

Rspack v1.4.0-beta.0 is out:
⚡️ 40% faster HMR (incremental build)
⭐️ Improved ESM output
⭐️ Improved virtual module support
🔍 Improved trace analysis
Subsequent beta releases will bring Wasm support and more 🚀

I'm sorry to inform you and your optimism on coding agents that our technology is based on things like the Linux kernel, or a modern browser: completely outside of today's possibilities. When you analyze AI, think at the Linux kernel.

The more I dig into generative AI from the prospective of a retired person, the less I want to be involved, or make use of the tools.
I want to focus on using my own model of the world to contribute to society for as long as possible.

" #TDD vs cowboy coding" episode 531.
Worked on a poc for 1 week. Lost the count of the backtracks I did to have a clean solution.
Now I have mostly a working impl, minus tests.
Writing tests before of even alongside would have helped ZERO. TBH, less than zero! Would just be more work and noise.

Ive seen this proof also on reddit. Gosh
I had been reluctant to amplify the theory that Trump's "reciprocal tariff rate" for a given country was based on the dumb calculation: (bilateral trade deficit) divided by (imports from that country)
But now USTR has confirmed it. Brief 🧵
