More AI-generated code doesn't make your team faster. It might actually slow you down.

The most Japanese man encounters the most American situation, and writes of his experience in the most elegant way I have ever seen

I am inspired. I wish I could have written this, but this man writes better truth than I could have written as fiction.

Thank you, Nobunaga-san.

Non-technical teams will be shipping code and one person on each team will get good at it so everyone on the team will go to them. Then some CEO will say “what if we took these people and put them on a team together” and they’ll name the new team something like “engineering”

It’s a GLORIOUS day at Pi Towers so we have obviously chosen to stay indoors and think about the film Alien because we saw this excellent Alien-inspired cyberdeck in the latest issue of Raspberry Pi Official Magazine that just so happened to come out today: https://t.co/Pe1bcOb6rt

Everyone knows that 15 minutes before standup is the most productive time.

This is when developers do highly-focused last-minute work just to give some updates.

So, in order to increase productivity, we now have 4 standups a day.

Deputy Chief of Mission Aaron Snipe recently met with Shoji Yutani, CEO of Weyland-Yutani Corporation, to discuss greater 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 coordination in deep-space exploration. With companies like Weyland-Yutani considering new large-scale terraforming and atmosphere-processing projects on distant planets, ties between government and private industry have never been stronger. #weylandyutani #LV426

basically: anthropic sneakily turned down how hard claude thinks before editing code, changed the default from "high" to "medium" effort, and hid the reasoning from session logs. all without telling users.

an amd director had 7k sessions of telemetry to prove the degradation was real and measurable (not just vibes). anthropic admitted to the changes. there's a workaround (use "/effort max"). the uncomfortable part is most users had no data to notice it happened at all.

Tey Bannerman counted up all the products and tools that Microsoft has named “Copilot”.

Found 78 of them: “there are now Copilots inside Copilots, Copilots for other Copilots, and a physical Copilot key on your keyboard for summoning them.”
