Thought I was an iOS dev @CashApp but apparently I manage people now. Spent 2 years sailing and almost commandeered a ghost ship. @[email protected]

This 100% matches my experience with AI codegen.

It writes code that looks right at a glance, but is wrong in subtle ways. That's what an attacker would do if trying to get a vulnerability into a codebase.

It's so much more dangerous than code which is obviously wrong.

It’s all ‘Pronouns are dumb’ till you misgender their dog.

Also be careful not to over-index in it. Salience is a heck of a heuristic but it’ll make you less able to see the things you don’t know the stories about yet.

[Christina Moulton @ChristinaMltn]

If a senior+ eng seems overly conservative about something, ask them why. It’s probably an interesting story that you’ll remember a lot better than “don’t name vars like that”

[Sarah Drasner @sarah_edo]

You know why us Senior+ engineers have good hygiene around structuring and naming conventions?

It’s because we’ve been bitten by our mistakes enough times to have respect for what we can do wrong when we’re careless.

I’m hanging on to Twitter as long as possible. I held out with WordPerfect until the 2010s so this is nothing.

@KevinBHayes Also quite the fallacy in assuming that humans can exist without being dependent on other people in some way.

[Thomas Zimmer @tzimmer_history]

Much of the moral panic over “cancel culture” is a reaction to precisely this: Traditionally marginalized groups have gained enough influence and, crucially, have acquired the technological means to affect the political debate.

@art_garzajr Even better https://t.co/GJAjqAsP6D

Whatever the opposite of “hardcore” 10x rock star dev is, that’s what I want.

cosycore, moving slowly, making things right, petting the dog, naps, staring out of the window pondering problems and drinking tea.

Avoid falling into the trap of thinking you’ll ever be able to fix all the things. But don’t give up on fixing anything.

A friend of mine recommend this reading from @skamille... Really worth it 👇

[The Narwhal @thenarwhalca]

Records suggest nine developers who own land set to be removed from the Greenbelt appear to have made donations totalling over $572,000 to the PCs since 2014. Lobbying records show five landowners who will benefit the most have connections to the party.

[Peter Clowes @peterclowes]

There was no vision shared with us. No 5 year plan like at Tesla. Nothing more than what anyone can see on Twitter. It allegedly is coming for those who stayed but the ask was blind faith and required signing away the severance offer before seeing it. Pure loyalty test.

[Peter Clowes @peterclowes]

So my friends are gone, the vision is murky, there is a storm coming and a no financial upside. What would you do? Would you sacrifice time with your kids over the holidays for vague assurances and the opportunity to make a rich person richer or would you take the out?

[Picard Tips @PicardTips]

Thank you all. You are the finest crew in the fleet.

It may be the end of the road
& Twitter as such may implode—
Often likened to hell
Full of garbage as well
& for many, our truest abode

@andrewphoenix You should think a lot harder about a lot of things if you’re that kind of person.

[Amber Mac @ambermac]

Ontario is in trouble. ⬇️ From education to healthcare, we are failing our children.

No amount of school catch-up payments or gas tax cuts can take our eyes off the emergency right in front of us.

We should be investing in our schools & hospitals, & the people who work there.

[Christina Moulton @ChristinaMltn]

This would be hilarious if it wasn’t so accurate

[Barney Panofsky's Best Intentions @mynamesnotgordy]

Hi Ivana. Listen, this whole children’s hospitals crashing thing and me not doing anything to help is starting to make me look bad, so I need some ideas. I’ve got my Commander Pandemic jacket on, so that’s a start. Thinking maybe we do a video of me decorating a Christmas tree?
