@stevy_smith I stumbled across a bunch of AI accounts just having a back and forth the other day. Is that the next step?

[Claire Knight @krider2010]

AI is creating leaner teams and faster code. It's also quietly eliminating every condition that builds engineering judgment.

Cognitive debt is recoverable. Experience debt isn't. You can't prompt your way out of it. This is what is worrying me.

Very important directions these...

It's been a long week. Please enjoy this timeline cleanse.

After the Wimbledon tournament each year, some of the 55,000 used tennis balls are upcycled into tiny shelters for harvest mice.

You're welcome.

Watching a K-drama where the subtitles say 'porky' and 'porkies' instead of lie/lies and I love it.

[Ian Field @IanField90]

@krider2010 Got both. Exactly as exciting as 2023 🥲

What they've actually done is to exploit a ton of women in gaming - I've not had a single invoice from this year paid, and they had a non-compete clause for their sponsor Sky Broadband for the five month period that I hosted for them, blocking me from actually making money.

@krider2010 Kafka event logs filling the entire dev machine (~900GB) in a couple of minutes. Takes a bit of time to undo and clean that up - when you eventually realise what is happening! Thankfully never made it to deployment…

Imagine starting a car that hadn't run in 21 years, that's 15 billion miles away in interstellar space. That's what the @NASA team just did with @NASAVoyager's thrusters. People are amazing. https://t.co/Bk9dOj99s9

Great to see Team Liquid win The International. A long time coming!

Very mortified that it took me a whole hour to realise I’d accidentally sent this picture captioned “just gave borth” to the work group chat including my managers instead of my mum - at which point it was too late to delete and pretend it never happened

@LouizeClarke Nozzle/spray-cap holder?

[Mira 🍉 @EpheyDota]

my apologies to british dota folk for this accent but for the sake of my sensei @SirActionSlacks it had to be done😤

@RobAshton Took me a long time to reliably land a mikiri counter from the first introduction of it. But the satisfaction of nailing it at this stage in the game didn’t lessen!

[technospider @technospiderssb]

It's been a long time since I've had this much fun on this website

[Ian Field @IanField90]

@RobAshton It’s actually making me swap out different talismans and try new weapons 👌 Bosses have a real spectacle, as ever, too

@SooshiYEP I've been using the original colour for years. How did I not realise this!?
Gives me a good excuse now though
