  • I super agree with Kalynn Bayron, AI should be doing more the stuff people hate than the stuff that brings people joy.

    I don’t get it. Why not focus on getting AI to perform more mundane tasks that don’t require creativity and nuance? Use it to free up time for actual human beings to focus more on the things they love? Pushing for it to write novels, make music, and create art is weird as hell.

  • I just spent two hours trying to figure out a bug in my Vue form component, it turned out I was using rel='update' instead of ref='update' 🙃.

  • I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to figure out why my tests weren’t failing. It turned out it was because I forgot to prepend test_ to the function 🙃.

  • Software Development and the False Promise of Science

    Richard Marmorstein on software developers and their lack of citing good sources:

    You have opinions – strong opinions – on questions such as “do microservices encourage modular code design?” and “should software projects stick to a ‘novelty budget’?” and “should composition be preferred to inheritance?”. But are your opinions backed by peer-reviewed analyses of hypotheses subjected to statistical tests of empirical data? Not really. Your view that software projects should stick to a ‘novelty budget’, for instance, is backed by your experience reading about this idea in some rando’s blog post and the argument seeming plausible in light of the recent bankruptcy of your friend’s web startup built on WebAssembly, CockroachDB, Elixir and Unikernels.
