I still use GPT 5.5 daily. It doesn't seem to have this problem. It just gives me a concise summary and gets to work.

I tried really hard to get senior management to understand this where I work. Yes, AI is an accelerator, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to accelerate you in the "right" direction.

I wrote about this recently on one of our company's IT channels. I called it "slop-fatigue". I - and others - have started to get noticeably dismissive of content that appears to be written by an LLM. The whole thing was a pi

I still haven't moved from Codex GPT5.5. Sonnet and Opus 5 have just been awful for my use cases. I recently caught Opus 5 hallucinating about code it just wrote . It's just not nearly as cost effective as GPT5.5, and it's t

I guess it depends on the context and environment, right? In many corporates, the bottleneck for me has always been specs and testing. I have daily examples. I had to explain it to leadership like this: "There are far more ways things

I agree with the point about dogmatism, but I have so many other issues with this piece. I mean... how do you even make the comparison between "A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" and "History of Hispanic Colonialism”

I got downvoted for asking a related question recently, but I also don't think people really understood what I was asking - I'm not trying to anthropomorphise LLMs to that extent. Basically, if you tell a model "You're a

I've often wondered if LLMs can suffer from psychological abuse in symptomatic ways. Not literally of course, but for example, if you berate the LLM by calling it stupid, or useless, does that modify its behaviour negatively? Part of m

It's also one of my major issues I have with how this is being introduced into many enterprises, including the company I work for: "Here's AI. Figure out how we can make money from it. We're adding it to your performance

"Conceptual integrity" is something I always try to adhere to when I design and build systems. I also use it also a bit of an indicator when gauging someone's experience. For example, mid-level devs will often try to introduc

What was the "pattern" before this in these fields? What is the current pattern in other industries? Does the pattern exist elsewhere in the world?

I personally have never worked in a team where Agile (the concept) has failed. But I've also seen it fail all around me. Especially when it's mandated without buy-in. Or when people just don't "get it". e.g. - 45 mi

The concept of "Dyson spheres" was a joke by Freeman Dyson. It was never meant to be taken seriously. There's a clip about this floating around somewhere in which he finds it funny that the thing he's most well-known for

Probably at least slightly misleading, just reading the names of some of the countries in the list (I am from South Africa). Just because a country generates 100% of its energy from renewables, it doesn't mean that its enough to power

Too little, too late. In fact, in this post they seem to be committing to keeping it as bad (or even making it even worse) for my use case. I've used Windows since 3.1. Win 11 was the straw that broke the camel's back. I moved to

I understand what this does. I don't get the hype, but there are obviously 1000s of people who do. Who are these people? What is the analog for this corner of the market? Context: I'm a 47y/o developer who has seen and done m

I'm referring specifically to the technique mentioned in that video. Yeah it's cool that it's there, but that doesn't seem intuitive at all.
