I dream of the day when setuptools is no longer part of our builds.

We also have the choice to dismantle a cancerous organization and prosecute its treasonous leaders so that this never happens again...

The word is "prosecute" right?

Here's Billy Bragg's contribution to the genre.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

My thought exactly.

Excited!

Why wait? It's a great time to tell the billionaires why they suck.

Steve Kerr, Tyrese Halliburton, Charles Barkley are among sports figures who have spoken out very clearly.

Keep at it. Improvement comes quickly with a little repetition.

One of the two has what it takes to face the opposition.

One time we played yale cup (frisbee version) and had snow one day and sun burns the next. I don't miss the east coast.

This is why I try like hell to avoid these kind of features. It's too easy to do it badly and too hard to do it well.

True in general, unless you are paid for your time and want to make that bargain.

Don't enjoy a show? Don't watch it.
Aren't feeling a book? Move on.

Same in software. I am very good at writing code. I mostly don't need help. I could see learning to use AI to help accomplish things I already know... if I was much earlier in my career. But I'm convinced that I'd lose a lot of understanding in the process.

Zuck, Larry, and Benioff all together. Feels unbalanced.

The guns gotta go. Not the first time I've felt that way. Probably not the last.

In deo speramus.

It horrible. Spent a lot of time there as well.

Thank you. I've been struggling to express what you said re: teamwork. I know $COWORKER can get an LLM to write a proposal, I can't do anything with useful with the writing if there was no real thinking behind it.

Right, I can't imagine being the kind of person who'd apply for a job there.

We have a local, community pharmacy. We're also rural so it's not as convenient as the various delivery services. But I put up with so that there are real people without a corporate overlord to talk to.

Someone's metric is more important than having a good product.

After almost a year of talk, our product finally has an AI feature that I think actually provides value. It's so much simpler than the kinds of things I read about people building. Our users are not ready for (or is it interested in?) anything more complex.

I know turkeys can fly because our dogs keep chasing them when they come into our yard.

The product I help build has an AI strategy because these days it has to. And what we've come up with is fairly reasonable. But when I compare it to the wider world of LLM exuberance, I simply don't understand who the user is.
