@nayshins Oh this "isn't" your baby?

[Jerome Jahnke @jeromejahnke]

@nayshins Hey congrats... You will soon have a MIGHTY ARMY!!

[Jerome Jahnke @jeromejahnke]

@nayshins So what you are saying is you wanna go work for Netflix, now is a good time.

[Jerome Jahnke @jeromejahnke]

@nayshins I would not give up a single minute of it.

[Jerome Jahnke @jeromejahnke]

@nayshins We all did the best we could with the resources we had on hand.

[Jerome Jahnke @jeromejahnke]

In 1954 Frederik Pohl wrote a satire where robots produce so much that consumption becomes the burden. The poor are assigned consumption quotas. The rich enjoy simplicity.

$600B in AI infrastructure later, we're living it. Who reads all this?

Six months building a real product without writing a single line of code. Not a toy demo. Millions of records, hundreds of tests, Kubernetes, the works. What I learned about the future of software: the bottleneck isn't keystrokes. It's decisions.

The guy who invented the daguerreotype did not have Netflix on his vision board. New essay on what a 19th-century disruption can teach us about
the one we're in now.

Speed is the demo. Judgment is the product.

@Coyoteblog They can't fix hallucinations. GenAI makes creating content easy. So we have tons of content, but it can't do judgment. The AI tools that matter will help us evaluate the content it creates, which is really the only way to fix hallucinations.

The SDLC isn't changing because AI is shiny. It's changing because the bottleneck moved. Production is cheap now. Judgment isn't. https://t.co/Q7FQygkZMp

An exec AI-summarized a document I spent hours compressing. At first I was angry. Then I realized I was looking at a window into how they think. I've been calling this AI;DR, and I wrote about what it means
for how we read, write, and work. https://t.co/5RwKVzXWp6

@DarrigoMelanie This can't be true. Who would loan money on a depreciating asset for 15 years?

[Jerome Jahnke @jeromejahnke]

@nayshins That is wild.

[Jerome Jahnke @jeromejahnke]

@nayshins I mean, he worked on Logo, though... That is something.

[Jerome Jahnke @jeromejahnke]

Sigh... The AI Coding Agents are too fast, we agree on the course of action and then the next thing I know it deleted a whole buncha stuff to do the thing I asked it. Which did not included deleting the other stuff. This was code that worked you knucklhead.

[Jerome Jahnke @jeromejahnke]

@nayshins I am happy to say I have developed both HTTP clients and servers from scratch. Mind you, I am actually "that old." I did use languages I was familar with C and Java.

[Jerome Jahnke @jeromejahnke]

@nayshins So I posted my new job title, which had agent and AI in the title, and all of a sudden, EVERYBODY wants to be my friend.
