Bobby, you can’t go encrypting your secrets with a key like 4. That’s a quarterback’s number. You want a number like 74, worn by legendary Cowboys defensive tackle Bob Lilly. No man ever got near his middle I tell you hwat

you don’t pay saas for the software you pay them for holding the pager

Sad Red Raider noises

PHP is burning. Node is burning. GitLab is burning. The certificate authorities have apparently been generating their private keys with an enchanted D6.

One of my former students just liked a reel about dating in your 30s. Excuse me while I wither to dust.

Back in my day you could show up to Amazon with just a solution’s architect associate’s and sweep Jeff Bezos’ office until he made you an L7

New name for my IT/networking dance crew just dropped

I feel like we should be developing the general literacy that this is a form of very obvious engagement bait

If you’re still summoning chromium to generate PDFs, give typst a try

the single biggest bottleneck on my productivity is being embarrassed to talk to the computer out loud in front of my wife

So what’d everyone move to? I’m trying to avoid bringing big cloud work home with me, but these PaaS joints seem to caught up with their own Conway’d web consoles and convoluted consumption costs so what’s a boy to do

this is actually why i pulled the ejection handle on the ant ecosystem ~when opus 5 dropped. i’ve only recently had the patience to go back and lobotomize all the insane things that got written into markdown files and memories that were getting loaded into every context window

you know what's really useful when managing a bunch of agents is the compulsion to switch between tabs and the ability to read real fast

Everything becoming art is my secret AI thesis. You’re telling me you want to focus on putting care into a specific element of your craft without regard for its productivity or ROI? That amazing, let’s get you some healthcare about it.

I hate to say it, but country music might be healing if we’re back to pining for the most mid dude from Abilene

The best sports app ever did this beautifully by ingesting play-by-play data and calculating live excitement scores to notify you at some threshold It was acquired for the underlying tech and shut down in 2020. RIP Thuuz 😢

Annoying that they took so long to end this petty growth hack, but I’m stoked to execute CLAUDE order 66 next week

At least listen to Wing$ and Downtown before dunking on Macklemore over the 1.5 songs you’ve heard. Maybe mans is a little corny but he’s no Lil Dicky

Bandito means business.

Coding benchmarks should punish models that can’t read industry standard specs and put an end to Anthropic’s weaponized incompetence smol bean fable just can’t function without the company bumper sticker in your repo

I'm more disappointed that they used Claude Code

If your servers are compromised by a group of agents, don’t say “we are under attack.” Attack implies intent. Instead say, “computer programs are emitting tokens that, when executed by other programs, are causing network requests that are currently pwning my shit”

I understand the complaints about AI on bsky but there's a legitimate question on why "ai discussion on bsky where there's starter packs and anti-ai blocklists are available" is too hard but "ai discussion on a site flooded with actual nazis" isn't.

Claude code is an example of what *not* to do when it comes to AI coding. They arent putting out volume or quality. Nobody with systems thinking is making decisions there.

I assumed most people understood how important spreadsheets were to managing organizations, including critical pieces of public infrastructure, and so they were my go-to metaphor for explaining the unsexy impact of LLMs Whelp.

Fun trend I’ve noticed: AI is evil and bad at everything → AI is only good for one specific thing → Everyone is using AI wrong except me

“AI users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-AI users experience small learning losses.” Breaking: Cheating on homework makes students bad at tests

AI routing isn’t the easiest problem, but it’s wild that LiteLLM is still the main open source option given how poorly built (and apparently maintained) it is Any of these companies could easily spare the dev budget to build their own router

For a brief period I begrudgingly accepted this and now I’m back to hating, especially when authors try to obscure the skill text as much as possible before installation

Ironically, you’d get far better results accessing Google with an AI using SerpAPI than you ever did from Google dot com Search is better than it’s ever been because of LLMs

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

this is really grinding my gears re: the cognitive surrender stuff I ranted about it before bsky.app/profile/grim...

Can’t say I predicted AI eroding science by making it cool to do absolutely garbage research as long as there’s a sick anti-AI zinger involved

I’m learning that the Chicago school has shooters on bluesky in 2026. Remarkable.

Linear was a victim of their own success

You shouldn’t need a veteran to tell you this, but someone with 4 deployments and a PMC stint is not someone to implicitly trust or idolize

these people love to mock anything that smacks of gender studies but then in turn in these wide-eyed and empty takes and expect to be taken seriously

Begging academics to include methodology with their twenty post "I tested an LLM and this is how it failed" threads, I just saw a huge thread on how they fail at summarizing literature and it turns out the author wasn't actually providing the text, just asking it for summaries based on training data

Some of us were probabilistic, unverified software manipulators before it was cool
