If you wanted to spy on your own citizens, which professions would you draw your cadre of spies from?

@atmoio Reminds me of what Steve Jobs used to talk about

@atmoio I know some criticize people whose identity is wrapped around being able to create with code. The message is usually, “learn to do it this way.” But what if we wouldn’t have wanted to “do it” were it not for *the way* it was being done? If we were 18 today, would we program?

@thdxr Unless you’re in their physical presence, how do you know they are people and not their agents in the first place?

@cremieuxrecueil Maybe it knows something about the mitochondria that we’re not allowed to. Maybe they’re the evidence that life comes from other planets!!

Agents: IKR? People who spent twenty years surrounded by dormant test code, unused documentation, and PowerPoint decks are suddenly acting as though meaningless artifact production was invented in 2025. We didn’t start the fire!

People slopped long before coding agents. They Didn’t Start the Fire

On the one hand, if I approach it from an empathetic point of view, putting myself in the others’s shoes and checking with how it felt to be on the other side of an interaction, it makes perfect sense. But for some reason, that’s not my default, and that’s what I’m puzzled by

Guys, what is this called: I keep rediscovering that human connection is the most important thing. I don’t know why I forget it or, worse, don’t believe in it. I have a fundamental doubt it matters, plus it seems inefficient

Omg @ThePrimeagen is right, prompt PRs are coming. They’ll be the new spec/dev design reviews of decades past. The more things change, the more they stay the same

@TelepathicPug Reminds me of that David Cross bit where he’s complaining that people are amazed at their toddlers staring at grapes. “Here, I’ll stare at a grape with you!”

Do “PC speakers” still exist? Is that a standard component? Never stopped to think about that

An aside, I miss websites that looked like that. I am absolutely in the blue underline camp for links

For me, I found the controversial (even within the LDS - and I’m not even LDS) “Never forget which way you face” speech. I can’t easily find it now, BTW, that’s how controversial it is. File it under the uncharacteristically Machiavellian organizational wisdom.

Do you have any unusual/odd inspirations? Something controversial or out of character or out of culture?

Me, I’d go for “Less is more” (and imagine Gylve Fenris Nagell saying it) or “I do not accept this method” (and imagine the 1964 animated version of Sun Wukong saying it)
