Compilers are deterministic and don't cost you more for each line of text they take in. Determinism and practical knowledge is how most systems are maintained. It's how you fix bugs.31 Jul 2026 07:28 +0000at://did:plc:ussplotjht6trexvhtcvbxom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrwgm65xcs27https://bsky.app/profile/viewfromtheweb.com/post/3mrrtjkm7uk2zPosting slop online and calling it good is a tactic that abuses communities by having them check your work when there's zero work from you in these posts. This has been around before #genAI but now it can be automated by feeding the responses back into the machine and repeating the cycle.29 Jul 2026 11:36 +0000at://did:plc:ussplotjht6trexvhtcvbxom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrrtjkm7uk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/viewfromtheweb.com/post/3mrdhotkpps2lSee the number of people walking by in the street with their heads on their phones? That's how glassholes are no longer assholes. We need some decent alternatives for people to walk and phone without cameras propagating mass surveillance.

To understand any of them, you have to confront the issue of merge conflicts and walk back from them. A challenge with git can be about your code, your workflow or an understanding of #git itself.20 Jul 2026 14:06 +0000at://did:plc:ussplotjht6trexvhtcvbxom/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr3holw7h224https://bsky.app/profile/viewfromtheweb.com/post/3mqgxzdcb622uAt least half the purpose of a code review is there to benefit a team of software developers and their understanding of the project. 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.
