Interesting that "Peter Bergmann" was probably a chosen alias with a purpose... cryptically linked to "Engram Repent", perhaps symbolising his intent to erase his past.👀

@unclebobmartin Exactly. AI is a powerful tool, but accountability, judgement, and responsibility still belong to the engineer. Decades of practical work shape your mind over time. Then one day, boom, you start seeing things differently.

@MarioNawfal Yes, I can see this 18-second video misses important details. It jumps straight into the middle of the fight. We don't see what happened earlier or why police showed up. No one has confirmed she is pregnant. These short clips usually need the full story plus an official update.

@SugarsStevan @senatorbabet @TiffanyFong Yes, I adjusted to solitude after the Deaf Club, once the home of the real Deaf community, was sold. Solitude became meditation for me, bringing reflection and perspective. I still chat with friends, but I find it strange seeing service providers talk about the ‘Deaf community'👀

@skdh It really depends on how ChatGPT is used in writing. I would never ask ChatGPT to write everything for me. I write my own content first, then use ChatGPT to help check and improve my English. I can read English well, but expressing myself in writing can be challenging sometimes.

@aakashgupta I’ve actually been there myself. It was a marvel of ancient engineering.

See the link below where I took a video of myself standing in front of the aqueduct in Rome.

An ancient engineering marvel, the 'Park of the Aqueducts' showcases a water system that once supplied Rome with water for showers, toilets, drinking, the kitchen, and everything. Amazing engineering! 😀🤘 #Rome #engineering #Aqueducts

Funnily enough, I was once asked to work on a six-month contract in a hospital in Adelaide within their ICT department. Two staff members were from overseas, and I found communication very difficult because their written and spoken English was quite limited.

The quality of the programming and system design behind the hospital systems shocked me, and I raised my concerns with management. I later contacted HR from my substantive department to request a return transfer. HR initially claimed I was sabotaging the work, which I denied. Fortunately, the hospital ICT manager supported my concerns and emailed HR explaining the reasons for my transfer back to my substantive position.

That was over a decade ago, and I believe both those staff members and the shocking system still exist today.

@shanselman @gregyoung Yes, very true. Behind many large systems, there is often an old spreadsheet, Microsoft Access database, SQL Server, Oracle database, or manual workaround quietly keeping things running. I’ve seen it all over three decades in the public sector.

God, I still love VBA. 😀🤘

[DeafProgrammer @DeafProgrammer]

I have been a long-time fan of @shanselman, even before Twitter/X.

I agree that “typing code manually is dying”.

But experienced programmers will still be essential because they can immediately identify future maintenance issues, duplicated meaning, broken relational concepts, hidden business rule conflicts, and scalability risks.

The craft is shifting toward system reasoning, orchestration, validation, and design.

I use AI tools such as ChatGPT and Grok because they reduce time-consuming work and allow me to focus more on deeper system thinking and design. 👀

"I think that typing code manually is dying."

- @shanselman on The Agentic Review podcast

We got into what that means and much more on the last episode. If you're thinking about where the craft is actually heading, this one's worth your time.

@OzraeliAvi Can you please add closed captioning to your videos so that I can watch and access the text content?

@PauloGaspar7 @unclebobmartin In real apps, https://t.co/VGjUwTeEQK, C#, and JavaScript work together.... that’s what matters.

@realannapaulina She seems to be sending a message with this picture. It feels like it’s about Nikola Tesla and his ‘secret’ connection to knowledge from the universe. 👀

[DeafProgrammer @DeafProgrammer]

@GaryMarcus Oh yes, AI tools are just one way to build experience. Principles and practical work are essential to develop a framework organically... this is what makes code elegant.

For example, a poor data model leads to messy SQL and high-entropy work.

[DeafProgrammer @DeafProgrammer]

@CMONEYMAKER @themouthmatusow Yes, I played at least five WSOP events, including the 2024 Main Event, over five weeks in Las Vegas with my own money... purely for hobby and enjoyment. I watched live high-stakes players; they’re crazy. I’ll play again in 2027 or 2028. My skills are sharper than before.

[DeafProgrammer @DeafProgrammer]

Exactly. This is 100% true from my own lived experience.

When I was little, I was trained to speak, but no one really taught me the meaning behind many words. I was only exposed to the Deaf community’s sign language when I was 16, and that changed how meaning finally connected for me.

Speech can sound successful on the outside, yet true language is about meaning, concepts, and connection. Without accessible sign language, many deaf children may learn sounds without fully building understanding.

That is why sign language is so important... it gives the brain direct access to meaning first.

@icreatelife I’m definitely a coffee guy... some of my best thoughts come with coffee.

I’m with you on AI too, and I enjoy your community posts, especially seeing AI used in digital art, even though I don’t create much myself.

My cat Kitty also seems to understand my inner feelings.
