People in tech need to read more humanities in general 🙌🏽

Tech bros think they're well-rounded because they've read some 3rd-hand quotes about stoicism but refuse to actually learn about stuff that would be genuinely helpful to not just continually make tech solutionist rubbish

[lara mendonça 🇵🇸 @laraisuncool]

I just wish people who work in tech would read more books about philosophy of technology and less books about productivity

And yes I know this was to be expected from an LLM but still 🤷🏽

Frontend Developer in 2016 vs 2024

[Dillon Mulroy @dillon_mulroy]

If I had any wisdom to teach younger devs it would be this:

1. Program against, consider, and handle the error path first and foremost. Include useful logging, telemetry, and error messages.

2. Utilize your type system, whatever that may be, to make as many invalid states unrepresentable

If you do this, regardless if you’re using OOP, FP, whatever, you’ll be end up with higher quality software that is easier to maintain and scale

Meta employees publish an open letter to management (see below) to show how meta has promoted the genocide. This is how the suppression happens

Some of the takes around here are just pure comedic gold. 🍿

Please don’t make life choices based on someone writing engagement bait on this site.

When I say 'AI is a conspiracy theory' I don't just mean that it's based on compulsive pattern finding with a tenuous grounding in reality (it is) but that it fuels political forms that are tricky to pin down but all lean towards the far right in the end.

worth remembering: so often the shiny new thing quickly shows signs of being mostly hype, while the unassuming, homely option proves its staying power

NEW: My latest for @WIRED on the dark side of open source AI image generators for creating nonconsensual porn.

Despite the efforts of some hopeful AI creators and platforms to deter exploitative uses, once downloaded its use is out of their hands
