Just had my first production issue because of AI-written code in production. The Python notebook was printing information about errors but didn't rethrow every single exception, so some were getting silently swallowed.

So our million row table had 18,000 missing records.

@mim_djo Unified RAM outside of Mac is exciting. I don't think my real boss (a.k.a my husband) would approve though.

Also pondering making things that are intentionally "useless" but build mastery and joy, like an OS for the Clockwork Pi.

I'm in a similar spot having built a bunch of random junk and reflecting a lot on what things *actually* make my life better.

I’ve mentioned this before: this is one of the oncoming trains for corp-security. We’ve long failed at least-privilege, but weren’t often punished for it.

Helen in HR (or Bob in accounts) didn’t know what to do with the extra perms they didn’t know they had.

Their agents will.

Badger Badger Badger, also known as “The Badger Song,” is a viral internet meme and classic Flash animation from 2003 by Jonti Picking.

The looping animation featured dancing badgers, mushrooms, and a snake, paired with a catchy repetitive song that became one of the most iconic viral videos of the early internet era.

A person I know (and who is? was? a good professional al) left an AI-generated comment under my LinkedIn post. Full-on AI slop.

I asked: why do this?

He replied. It’s because of “engagement.”

People are burning their profession al reputation, paying for AI tools, for nothing
