Most software engineers are facing an identity crisis bordering on depression. As CTOs aggressively evangelize tokenmaxxing, a class divide ensues. The lazy. The lazy push code. They don't write it. They don't manually test it. They don't even read it. They're on autopilot. See Jira ticket, prompt for task, submit code. Many of them are barely on their computer the whole day. A comment on the PR asking why they did this? The lazy ask AI. A Slack message? The lazy ask AI. Need to prepare for standup? The lazy ask AI. As long as it sounds enough like them and isn't detected. Some of the lazy are even overemployed, and work multiple jobs. The lazy smart ones get away with this, and even rewarded. After all, software engineering for the lazy is just a dance to convince your colleagues you're smart and hard working. The craftsmen. The craftsmen are tired. Very tired. 15 PRs in queue. Slack blowing up. The entire burden of review falls on the craftsman. The burden of understanding. They try. They work their way through the code, thoughtfully commenting to improve what ships. The response? A lazy: "That's a clever idea! You're absolutely right." with an incorrect change. It's fine, the craftsman says. I can fix them. They write a doc urging his colleagues to be better. The next day? 20,000 line PR to review. Day after day, their workload grows. Bugs seep into production. No one seems to care. Another round of AI is thrown at it. Their animosity to their colleagues rises. Eventually, they give up. It's just not what it used to be. The craft they loved is dead. They eventually wake up, a lazy. This isn't all companies. Many companies are genuinely more productive, adopt the right set of principles and practices around AI development and have highly talented teams that trust each other. It tends to happen in bigger companies that are 10+yrs old with a higher talent variance. But it happens. A lot.

I'm an old programmer (by programmer standards). I use agents daily, extensively. Here's a view from the other side of "wooooow look how many lines it wrote!", taken from my work today.

Die EU verlangt, dass KI sicher ist. Prüfen soll das etwa der TÜV. Im AI Lab muss er klären: Woran erkennt man, dass man einer künstlichen Intelligenz vertrauen kann? trib.al/XZuhQqb
This is indeed the path:
@LynAldenContact stated goal is protecting kids. actual output is a national identity layer for the internet
Call me crazy, but I think parents should determine what their teenagers do online rather than the government. And that governments shouldn't use system-level ID checks to identify and monitor everything.
@jreichelt Legal action is being taken against ZDF for their outrageous lies
What's being defended isn't billionaires. What's being defended is the principle that rights belong to everyone, including successful people. The moment you decide someone's rights disappear because they're too wealthy, you've abandoned rights altogether and replaced them with political favoritism. Your position isn't that rights are universal. It's that rights are conditional on serving your demands. The billionaire is just today's unpopular exception. Tomorrow it'll be the millionaire. Then the small business owner. Then anyone with more than you.
Das #ZDF nennt die Formulierung „Ein rassistischen Mob macht Jagd auf Migranten. Dazu aufgerufen hatten: ein britischer Rechtsextremist und Tech-Milliardär Elon Musk.“ auf Nachfrage von #NIUS nun „unpräzise und dadurch missverständlich“. Das Wort „dazu“ kann nur in Bezug auf „Jagd auf Migranten“ wahrgenommen werden und erhebt eindeutig und ohne Zweifel, der Aufruf sei von Musk gekommen. Das ist nicht unpräzise. Das ist falsch. Einen Beleg für die Behauptung hat das ZDF jedenfalls nicht vorlegen können. Hier unser Bericht: nius.de/medien/zdf-mus…
Blanke Lügen nennt man beim ZDF nun "unpräzise und dadurch missverständlich." Dieses Statement des Senders ist - wie schon im KI-Skandal - die nächste Lüge. Die Anmoderation war eben NICHT "unpräzise und dadurch missverständlich", liebes ZDF. Dass Elon Musk zur Jagd auf Migranten aufgerufen hätte, war eindeutig und unmissverständlich formuliert, eine Tatsachenbehauptung ohne jede Faktengrundlage, eine ekelhafte Propagandalüge. Das ZDF lernt es nicht. Dieser Laden ist unreformierbar und gehört zerschlagen.
Der Lerchenberg ist eine Festung der Lügen. Das ZDF erfindet einfach, Elon Musk habe "zur Jagd auf Migranten aufgerufen." Tatsächlich hatte Musk auf X geschrieben: "Only by protesting REPEATEDLY and LOUDLY will there be any change!!" Wie lange wollen wir es noch hinnehmen, dass

For years, some Americans have sneered unfairly at "Europoors". Now, European degrowthers want to make "Europoors" into a reality. noahpinion.blog/p/degrowth-wou…
Europeans please wake up.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of
The journey of a thousand nix expressions begins with a nix shell.
You see a trillion dollars. Gavin sees 3/4 of a mile of high speed rail.
Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE. When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted. The system is rigged.
This is the way.
Elon Musk: There are no lords and peasants at Tesla. Everyone eats at the same table. “I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them. There are many people
