Only digital technology left is the Chipotle support bot. But to ask it memorized info from Wikipedia or Python documentation, you have to reference an “order” first. There is no order system anymore.

Country names change, timezones change, design guidelines and expectations change. Everything changes, so should software. And our job is to make software amenable to change.31 Mar 2026 08:34 +0000at://did:plc:cw4nqizhhp6apd32tcs7ddyn/app.bsky.feed.post/3midrfoo7kc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/fatih.6nok.org/post/3mibkrhustc2kWorkslop is real and very frustrating. I hate when I feel like coworkers feed my code review comments into AI to fix the issues. I hate when discussing architecture it feels like coworkers make AI generate rebuttals or parrot its “opinions”. If I wanted to talk to AI, I would.30 Mar 2026 11:30 +0000at://did:plc:cw4nqizhhp6apd32tcs7ddyn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mibkrhustc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/fatih.6nok.org/post/3mhdcueuwsc2gJust had a thought that racism and sexism are about social contracts about ownership, e.g. that as a white passing man I don’t feel the same fear that women and minorities do about a random person assuming they don’t have to obey your autonomy the same way they do with others.18 Mar 2026 10:49 +0000at://did:plc:cw4nqizhhp6apd32tcs7ddyn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhdcueuwsc2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/fatih.6nok.org/post/3mgcnwqasks2rI can’t keep it in so here’s a sneak peek I have spent my new year’s week trying to build a personal PaaS on NixOS on a bare metal server for serving my personal projects (it’s currently on hold) I leaned heavily on LLMs for writing Nix derivations, and for bouncing ideas.

They can be used by demagogues to easily create false equivalences and mislead people. Be even more wary of the fun ones.27 Feb 2026 07:43 +0000at://did:plc:cw4nqizhhp6apd32tcs7ddyn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mft7mygsps2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/fatih.6nok.org/post/3mflkzxryxk26I just backed ABIDE, an indie game with handmade dolls and stop motion animation. I stopped using Kickstarter for many years but I made an exception for this game. With only a few days to go and so close to the goal, it felt like a good investment! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/637042083/abide?ref=thanks-tweet24 Feb 2026 06:46 +0000at://did:plc:cw4nqizhhp6apd32tcs7ddyn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mflkzxryxk26https://bsky.app/profile/fatih.6nok.org/post/3mfj43orpm22rI can no longer say that I’m a “software engineer”. I don’t subscribe to data-driven decisions anymore. The SRE book no longer rings true. Why are we so afraid of building the wrong thing? Is running experiments the only way to figure out the product? Why are some percentage of errors are budgeted?23 Feb 2026 07:13 +0000at://did:plc:cw4nqizhhp6apd32tcs7ddyn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfj43orpm22r
