If we automate that to a point where no human is learning anything, we should call code review something else.12 Jul 2026 10:32 +0000at://did:plc:ussplotjht6trexvhtcvbxom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqgxzdcb622uhttps://bsky.app/profile/viewfromtheweb.com/post/3mqfcaovpek2jHave a nice weekend #bloomscrolling11 Jul 2026 18:30 +0000at://did:plc:ussplotjht6trexvhtcvbxom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqfcaovpek2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/viewfromtheweb.com/post/3mq7dnxbpcs2rNot sure if agentic coders are able to grok this: https://www.selc.org/news/trump-administration-attempts-massive-power-grab-in-defense-of-xai/ "hey, it's a cheaper 5.5"09 Jul 2026 09:39 +0000at://did:plc:ussplotjht6trexvhtcvbxom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq7dnxbpcs2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/viewfromtheweb.com/post/3mq2p26sb5s2rEfforts for promoting the #fediverse need to recognise that, for a first impression, a gazillion options is too much and just one is too little.

As always, it starts by charging more for plastic packaging that eventually you can redeem. But with no incentive to make redemption work, you just get charged more.

And governments like to make lists of websites they don't want people to go to. But they let you go to the website if it tells you to vote for them and that works.05 Jul 2026 12:11 +0000at://did:plc:ussplotjht6trexvhtcvbxom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpvkamhye225https://bsky.app/profile/viewfromtheweb.com/post/3mpnp5lqy5c25the road to hell is paved with good employees02 Jul 2026 09:17 +0000at://did:plc:ussplotjht6trexvhtcvbxom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpnp5lqy5c25https://bsky.app/profile/viewfromtheweb.com/post/3mosn25bg222cThe shortest history of the internet is probably small place good, big place bad.
