Hello I am a tech lead and software engineer working in a 500 fortune company with more that 15+ years in software development and digital product creation
For decades, resilient software was built on the healthy friction of peer review. Today, AI coding assistants are creating a "solo dev army."
But what happens when your pair programmer is a machine designed to agree with you?

@ccccjjjjeeee@swyx So when you say write custom harness, that contradicts a bit “did not look at the code “, seems misleading a bit … so which one, did it port everything by itself or you had to babysit ?
Tried using chat gpt to count a number of statuses in 100 short sql entries … keep on forgetting it’s a word sequencer, it simply cannot count, no matter how clever math functions you will input into training data it’s still just a statical machine not an Ai
🦀 Async Rust has some really subtle behaviors you need to understand.
One nasty edge case: future cancellation + tokio::select! can quietly land you in a deadlock that’s brutal to debug.

The AI hype around giant LLMs is fading—real-world AI is powered by smaller, smarter models. From fraud detection to real-time vision, here’s why production AI left the LLM “bubble” behind. (https://t.co/ncFKUlLTg0) #AI#TechTrends
My CISO called me at 3 AM last Tuesday.
"We caught someone."
I asked, "Caught them doing what?"
He said, "Typing."
Let me explain.
We have an employee in IT. Great worker. Always online. Never complained. Perfect Slack etiquette.
One problem.
His keystrokes were arriving 110 milliseconds late.
One hundred and ten milliseconds.
That's 0.11 seconds.
The average American remote worker has 20-40ms of latency.
This guy? 110ms. Every. Single. Keystroke.
My security team ran the numbers.
That latency doesn't come from a bad router in Ohio.
That latency comes from Pyongyang.
Our "Senior DevOps Engineer" was a North Korean operative.
Running his work laptop through a laptop farm.
In America.
While he worked from a government building.
In North Korea.
He passed the interview. He passed the background check. He passed the vibe check.
He did not pass the speed of light.
Here's what people don't understand about physics:
Light travels 186,000 miles per second.
But it still has to go through China.
And China adds latency.
Since April, Amazon has caught 1,800 of these attempts.
Eighteen hundred.
I called an emergency meeting with my board.
I said, "We need to implement Keystroke Velocity Auditing across all remote employees."
They said, "That sounds invasive."
I said, "You know what else is invasive? The Democratic People's Republic of Korea in your Jira tickets."
They approved the budget.
We now monitor keystroke timing to the microsecond.
If your latency exceeds 60ms, you get a call from HR.
If it exceeds 100ms, you get a call from the FBI.
We've already flagged 47 employees.
Turns out 44 of them just have bad Wi-Fi.
3 of them are "still under investigation."
The lesson?
You can fake a resume.
You can fake a background check.
You can fake an American accent on Zoom.
But you cannot fake the speed of light.
Physics is the ultimate background check.
Hire accordingly.
⚠️ URGENT: A 10.0-severity bug just hit React Server Components and Next.js.
It lets anyone run code on your server — even without logging in.

⚙️ Fix: update to patched versions now.
@svpino That’s what the “corporates” want to think … but they don’t even know if this will be actual cost beneficial, silly snippets maybe fine for sonnet but what about full fledged systems. How much power and tokens will you need for that ?
So nobody is talking about sustainability anymore, no net zero, no green this or that … it’s all about can Ai maximise our profits, automate this and automate that … but when asked about actual cost and environment impact nobody can say anything …
Windows is (almost) 40! How long have you been along for the ride? Age yourself in the comments with the year and first Windows feature you used. #Windows40th
@Windows Must be all that spyware, hidden widgets, ads and bloatware running in the background. Is windows anything but for games these days ? Might as well start shipping Xbox os to pc’s pretty soon
