Sometimes on a hot day for the short period the kid's napping I find myself at Home Depot searching for this or that tired from the work week under pressure as the clock ticks down having no idea what I'm doing and I make it to ch

Office job workers of many types have asked if I fear the impact 'AI' will have on my dev job. For as long as they remain employed I'm not worried at all. In fact, during the push for workers of other jobs to get closer to de

Windows 11 decides to update and says, "You're x% there." Later, the computer jumps from 30% to nothing. "You might want to plug in your PC." Then the next morning Copilot appears. Too many cooks in the kitchen it s

I recently bailed on SNW after realizing the cringe factor and unprofessionalism was to stay. Started watching TOS. Hope this isn't really the end of Star Trek and just this misguided period of it.

OK, for real, how are you working through inexperienced developers cranking out tons of stuff that makes no sense? Not talking about verbose code, but concise bits of code that they think they understand but don't. Previously, copying

Bees seem like they know what's going on. What about a cell, though? A virus?

Well, unless intellect is immaterial.

Maybe that's when they run all those crazy legacy jobs, but they politely shut the site down for it.

One process redesign that may be considered a moat for AI is employees intending to communicate through a sentence or two first passing the text into their AI of choice and asking it to elaborate. On the other end the colleague uses their A

Not much of a difference between replacing a gun emoji with a water gun and find replacing "gun" with "water gun"

Yes, it's harder and takes longer to read code. Hopefully this reality will propagate to leadership. But there's something more. It's the benefits of a first-look perspective. With these tools that's lost. Also, it seems

Makes sense an 'AI' chip maker would say that.

That was my first thought as well. I've spent time on those cars on the Coast Line. They used to indicate the next stop, but it broke at some point. I don't ride much anymore. I'm not surprised what's pictured is NJ TRAN

The Twin Towers 2 concept, which is mostly the originals with a few additional floors, would have been a more fitting replacement.

Not sure Microsoft realizes the damage they're doing to the Windows brand. My first experience with Windows 11 was figuring out some dumb workaround to use a local account. When I think back to Windows 7, the good feeling isn't no

Perhaps the bottleneck is public perception after the accident at Three Mile Island, and then everyone wasting time on alternate (insufficient) renewables. But now it's not about migrating from dirty to clean energy (which nuclear is),

The difference is this isn't some legacy system that still exists a decade later. It's brand new with the tag still on. And it wasn't designed by a conscious being but by probability. I've seen from beautiful to crazy le

A team unfamiliar with a code base demoed asking questions to an LLM about it. The answers genuinely excited some. But anyone who had spent a short time in the code base knew the answers were wrong. Oh well.

The most frustrating thing to find is a TODO for a half baked thought about some inconsequential logic. Delete!

A colleague experienced this but I don't recall where. But they were furious about it and it was a challenge to get resolved.

Is nuclear the only way out? Will the gov need to get involved? Will wind and solar, etc., wind down after?

This is an example of classic software engineering. It's when the person writing the code understands why they're doing it, succeeds in that, then tastefully adds a little more, and has some fun, which in turn makes the product de

Without menus and ribbon panels, how do you discover the capabilities of the software?

My recent experience has been similar. I'm seeing that the people hyping this up aren't programmers. They believe the reason they can't create software is they don't know the syntax. They whip up a clearly malfunctioning

Reading other people's code is often more challenging than writing it yourself.
