Is Artificial Intelligence inevitable? Or is it inherent?: https://danmurrelljr.micro.blog/2025/07/13/is-artificial-intelligence-inevitable-or.html

We need a sharper line between augmented engineering and vibe coding.

A vibe coder is a creator, but not an engineer.

An engineer studied and honed the skills to understand what #AI is doing.

Both provide taste, the critical subjective human element necessary to create something good using AI.

Classifying a prompt through logic, ML, LLM, or hybrid strategies for cost efficiency, latency reduction, privacy, and accuracy

Anyone else always adding newlines at the bottom of everything to feel comfortable when writing? Whether a git commit or a blog post, I’m often editing a published post immediately afterward to remove that extra space I forgot to cut. Does MarsEdit let you set margins? 😂 @danielpunkass

Software development in the AI era - are programming languages almost over?: https://danmurrelljr.micro.blog/2025/04/04/software-development-in-the-ai.html

People worried about #AI art and writing are often told don’t worry, AI won’t replace human creativity.

But AI actually is creative - hallucination is a feature tweaked by settings like temperature.

AI can’t reproduce human taste, a moving target that decides when something is actually good.

Hackathons aren’t frivolous, but a couple of days where the teams get to be extra-innovative. My Mobile Team at BC used them to do non-roadmap things that often ended up in the app and platform. Passkeys came from a hackathon project for example.

Also, BC laid me off unexpectedly in Nov 2023. 🫤

A highly realistic view of a coder codng with AI bathed in golden sunlight

Finally catching up on the #Tesla #CyberCab presentation from eariler this week. As a ModelY owner, I know there’s no way this technology is coming “next year”, but it is totally realistic in the next decade. Why can’t we have innovative #Elon all the time, instead of toxic Dark MAGA “Leon”?

Both #Apple and #Google treat legitimate and even the largest companies like they’re the hacker down the street and in the basement, as if they’re a threat to their users and their platforms. The amount of disrespect they show companies who develop and create value on their platforms is stunning.

There’s a simple solution for #Apple and #Google and all the legal challenges and regulatory issues they’re facing: stop bullying your way into other companies’ businesses because you have monopolies over the app platforms. Charge reasonable rent, not 30%, for access, and let businesses operate.

This weekend it occurred to me that I kept forgetting to test #AppleIntelligence for one thing that has always annoyed me about #Siri – that it could recognize compound requests but wouldn’t actually perform them.

Happy to find out that the new Siri CAN turn off multiple lights in one request!

Logging into work this morning is going to feel like when Cooper and Dr. Brand sealed the airlock and entered the Endurance after Dr. Mann wrecked it.

What a week this is gonna be 🤪

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #24,306!

Who HASN’T sat in their living room putting a homemade cedar planter together, drinking beer and watching a wrestling pay per view?

Me, until today. Hope this goes well 😬😂 (new Pony worktable, first time to use that too)

I know he’s not for everyone, but damn I really do enjoy Roger Waters. Even though I attended this show here in Austin last October, I’m at the theater for the live global broadcast of his concert from Prague tonight. I’ve been a Pink Floyd fan since college, but I was always a Roger guy.

I’m the only one in my family who will eat cilantro, everyone else say they taste soap, but this makes me want to grow it.

The coupon worked, but the Apple Pay doesn’t (or doesn’t when I change to the card I want to use). Had to old school it with a number like an boomer 😂

Expect to see 50% more micro.blog posts from me now! 🙂

Always tickled at the names local breweries come up with. This is from the Austin area. What are y’all skeeters seeing from your locals?

(Yes this is also the brewery part owned by Jensen Ackles from Supernatural, The Boys, etc)

It ain’t store brand Diet Dr P so yes

Not Rice Krispies specifically but I do sometimes cut up a banana and pour chocolate sauce over it

One of the nice things about late-stage Twitter is it's just laying bare all the problems with having a corporation own and control the way we communicate online.

Caught this unexpected gem this morning - Jupiter about as close as you’ll see it to the moon without occlusion.

Boo this man @dholms.xyz !

I have to look them up every time as well. I know fastlane can automate them… but I dunno. Who has time to figure that out 😂

These articles saying Apple is going to release this new headset for $3,000 and that they expect 7-10 million units sold in the first year… someone is smoking crack.

Paul here in Austin?
