A large slide fills most of the image, projected in a modern glass-walled auditorium. The slide has a pink background with bold red text at the top: “Managers have been vibe coding forever” Below is a bulleted list in plain red text: • tell dev to implement a new feature (vibe coding) • dev makes changes to code • manager tests app • manager does not read the code • manager complains about bugs • dev makes changes to fix bugs • manager doesn’t read the code (again) • dev says “done, by now” • manager says “gj but be faster next time” or insults the living hell out of the dev In the lower-left foreground, a speaker stands behind a black podium labeled: AI Engineer Code Summit Presented by Google DeepMind The room is bright with floor-to-ceiling windows behind the stage showing greenery and modern architecture outside.

truth hurts

I use this button constantly

I'm a reverse ATM for my kids these days. They hand me cash and I send it back as Apple Cash 🙃

"With this made-up scandal, combined with the pre-election editorial, the Times looks like it’s on a crusade against Mamdani."

That's Margaret Sullivan @sulliview.bsky.social Former public editor of the New York Times, and a shrewd judge of newsroom character. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

a visual pipeline builder showing "receive data -> send to s3 archive" and "receive data -> keep http errors -> keep slow traces -> sample 1 in 10 -> send to honeycomb" an engineer's speech bubble says "Let's adjust the sample rate."

Engineer: What's this user doing? Engineer 2: "Let's enhance with more data from our S3 archive." a Honeycomb query builder is shown with a heatmap and count, with a customer id and url selected. the button "enhance from archive" is highlighted, along with the time range being enhanced

We just launched powerful new capabilities in the Honeycomb Telemetry Pipeline, including graphical pipeline building functionality and "Enhance", which gives teams the ability to do the detective show-style "enhance the letters on that plate" for sampled data.

AMA Thurs/Fri on @honeycomb.io!

this has to end. these people have to go. let the people who have to try to live in the future you ghouls created try to navigate it. youve done enormous, unfathomable damage already. retire

CNN: Jonathan Joss, 'King of the Hill' and 'Parks and Recreation' actor, has died at 59 text: Jonathan Joss, an actor who voiced the character of John Redcorn on “King of the Hill” and appeared as Ken Hotate on “Parks and Recreation,” has died following a shooting incident, according to police in San Antonio, Texas. https://cnn.it/3FCI1gT

The exonerative voice was initially reserved for cops, but now it's applied to the IDF and even random hate criminals

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Or, to quote something I find myself asking a lot recently, "Wait, you think or you _know_?"

We need to get to a point of knowing and so far it's been relatively easy to defer this in the short run to little consequence. This just expedites the conversation and puts the impetus on contracts.

Hoping that llms.txt gains broader adoption; that will help us bake solid OpenTelemetry instrumentation in by default

Observations from this article on "tech" chat groups: 1) they are 100% male, 2) they are texting all day, 3) they seem to have little other work to do, 4) these are investors, not true 'techies', 4) the author of the article seems not to realize himself how airless and homogeneous these groups are.

Ugh not sure. Hate that I have to do this research. Should probably buy something unsexy like Honeywell

Nest let me know they're stopping app support for the Nest thermostat we bought 10 years ago. Good news, they're offering me a half price upgrade. Why tf would I spend money to opt BACK INTO this situation?

Doesn't it feel like Slack should have tabs? Didn't it used to?

Is Ted Cruz the biggest loser ever? Many people are saying.

once again the political consultants who forced Tim Walz to stop calling these freaks “weird” should be shot into the sun

Thanks for this experience, @linkedin.com

Yep

Who can I pay to rollover my 401ks and HSAs. This is maybe the worst user experience I've faced in a minute

It is legal to criticize the president. It is legal to criticize the president's actions. It is legal to criticize the president's advisors. It is legal and patriotic and the blood of a healthy society to hold those in power accountable, and even to mock them. Remember it.

When DOGE cuts aviation safety and planes crash, when Medicaid is demolished and your community hospital closes, when trans care is banned through pulling funding, when Musk subverts democracy…

These dems own it.

Being on a team that is moving fast and getting shit done is one of the best feelings in the world.

As my coworker @gsiener.bsky.social says... it's not "happy engineers ship fast"; it's that engineers who ship fast ARE HAPPY ENGINEERS.

It's not the whole story, but it's a lot of it. ☺️

Gonna plug this in and undo 5 years of platform regression
