“Get your feet out of you brothers mouth.”

One of many phrases that I never thought I would have to say before I became a parent.

🎶Jody, Jody, Jody, Jodddyyy. I’m beggin’ of you, please don’t take my woman. Jody, Jody, Jody, Jodddyyy. Please don’t take her just because you can.🎶

Now hold on on a minute. Are you seriously trying to tell me repeatedly prompting an AI agent with, “That person is supposed to have FIVE fingers. Not four. Not six. Five. People have FIVE fingers. What the hell is wrong with you!?” doesnt constitute “effort”??

If you willingly gave money to a two-bit con-artist who is widely known for robbing or defrauding nearly everyone he has ever done business with, then you got what you had coming.

“AI” coding tools can offer some value. The problem is that they often generate tech debt with pay day loan level interest rates. What’s made the interest rate so high is that now, not only do you have the actual code base tech debt. You also have a bunch of code that no one understands and the barrier to entry for software engineering has become so high that fewer younger people are actually learning how to be good programmers. Lots of organizations don’t give a shit about their rapidly growing mountain of tech debt today but they’re sure going to at the end of the week when the payment comes due.

What their “leadership” fails to understand is that any idiot can shell out code. I’ve seen lots of terrible programmers generate millions of lines of really shitty code that somehow, by the power of the dark Lord himself, manages to compile. That’s not what a software engineer actually does though. Software engineers design operational systems with software. Writing code is a secondary function of that. There are currently no AI agents that can successfully design a software system with any degree of complexity because LLM’s don’t actually understand anything.

It should be fine. We hope.

Pretty much the COVID strategy from the first Trump administration.

🎶Do you know how Christmas trees are grown?🎶

A power company whose name I cannot share insisted on having 5 access and control rooms per power plant (most usually have 2-3 per plant) for redundancy. It drove them to near bankruptcy in the 2010s because of their tech debt trying to keep them all in sync world wide.

Ugh. Utilities are where innovation goes to die.

I’ve seen enough to know that even if this picture is fake, there is a 100% chance something like it actually exists.

Time to get out the Trump “I did this” stickers.

I have to drive 32 miles (~51 km) one way to my job and there is no public transit anywhere around here.

The naivete of youth.

They would have to stop wasting so much money on LLM’s first.

“…The LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.” --Isaiah 59:15

I see you’ve met my inlaws.

Some interested buyers have gotten more creative, offering to sell their home in exchange for Anthropic shares at a valuation above $800 billion.

No way this could possibly go badly.

Damn. I wish I could waste over a million dollars and have my employer see it as a good thing.

Everything has to be a web app nowadays.

Oh. A wise guy, eh?

“Oh my God. It’s a… Giant rampaging blur!”
