Code reviews are not sustainable

@IntuitMachine There is a discussion about that statement because "I think" presupposes that which is being proven (I), so it'd be more solid to say "There is thought therefore it's happening somewhere". Adding the "I" back brings trouble, as well as making that "I" human.

@flopezluis Compartido. Otra del estilo es que me resulta facilísimo concentrarme en cafeterías pero una biblioteca es el infierno acústico.

@__lady_lazarus Sí, "The remains of the day" muy bien en mi opinión

@flopezluis Hombre, tanto como “que nadie quiere ver” a lo mejor es exagerar

@brandonjcarl GenAI may change at which speed things happen, it doesn't change many other intrinsic aspects of the work

AI systems, at all levels of the stack (infra and workloads, both training / inference) are complex versions of distributed systems, each with very different constraints and trade-offs

@joaoqalves Picking battles, what a skill!

@gimenete @flopezluis El discurso de la artesanía ya estaba muy cogido con pinzas cuando se puso de moda, ahora es marciano. Lo curioso es que es impermeable a la evidencia que dan otras docenas de campos de la industria humana a lo largo de siglos..

@CohenSite The median would be more interesting

Stripe’s observability team wrote an agent to help respond to incidents.

I talked about this on the standup podcast yesterday, but I'll reiterate here: if you're losing sleep because you need to keep feeding the agents STOP, I promise it's not worth it. You got caught in a [prompt -> reward] dopamine cycle and you're addicted to the feeling of the token slot machine. It's not your fault, but you need to escape before it grinds you into a pulp and you can't look at a computer for a month (this was me). If you can break out of it and spend some more time offline, or find other healthy sources of dopamine in hobbies/etc, you'll start to realize just how warped your perception was and that the thing you were chasing wasn't actually productive.

AI is killing All About Berlin. When you Google something, you used to get a link to my website, but now you get an AI-generated answer trained on my work. This has a devastating impact on traffic.

Do I know anyone who is interested for a senior+ PM role to work on highly ambitious distributed systems problems in agentic workloads? Deep experience in ML/AI systems and container orchestration is preferred. If you are an engineer looking for a PM pivot, this could be for you.

There is a surge of supply chain attacks (and it is only going to get worse)

If you are using pnpm, take these steps to protect yourself:

* set minimumReleaseAge to 7 days
* set blockExoticSubdeps to true
* configure onlyBuiltDependencies

npm / yarn have similar settings
