Yeah, I’ve been keeping track of that one and they are trying to get him removed from any sort of leadership role over the community.

He’s been a dirt bag for as far back as I can remember.

DHH is a massive piece of shit. I keep seeing his stupid name popping back up recently and I wish he would go the fuck away. No community needs his toxic views.

I’ve never had a TT account but have been on Rednote for months. I don’t use any other social media outside of it, except Bluesky. Rednote is fun and folks are nice. It’s very focused on learning and sharing, so you get content that’s actually interesting, as opposed to the onslaught of hateful, vitriolic bullshit US-based social media loves to force into your feed alongside the 50 ads.

Run - Ruin

People openly bragging about being exploited has always been hilarious to me. I’ve been pushing back on bullshit employer things since my first job in my teens.

None of this crap is even consumer tech. They use the consumer as a guinea pig so they can eventually sell it to the military. We are the test subjects and only the idiots are buying.

It’s going to be long and arduous. The US has such massive reach and influence that it’s going to take a long time before it topples. After that, we will probably be stuck in some Peter Thiel wet dream where he tells us Skynet was actually the protagonist and the Nazis had some good ideas.

The industry wants senior engineers but isn’t willing to put in the work to make entry level engineers into senior. If you are considering a comp sci degree, don’t bother. Like the article says, train with cheaper skill-based courses. You may hate AI or not see the value, but if you want to survive in the tech field now, you have to learn how to harness AI tools (and that doesn’t mean writing prompts).

This is the state of tech now. The capitalists once again have managed to suck all of the air and fun out of the room so that they can go live on some compound when things inevitably go to shit because of their irresponsible behavior.

I have a bucket setup with my web host and then I use the Dropshare app to upload them. If I come across a meme or video I like, I fling it on there and it copies the URL to my clipboard. Now I have a place to store them that doesn’t require maintaining a local collection.

Let a kid try out one of my RC trucks. First thing he did was plow the fucking thing into my leg. Kids are dumb (and now no one is allowed to drive them 😤)

We have a ginger that manages to shove himself under a weighted comforter and when even a bag rustles.

If you’re basing whether or not you’re “left” on anecdotal evidence of some leftists celebrating his death, you probably weren’t very left to begin with.

Rayhunter is the way.

Can’t wait to watch the “blue no matter who” and “I have a fixation on the genitals of trans folks” crowds duke it out again in a rigged election system.

We keep trying to appeal to systems and mechanisms that have been compromised for years by corrupt politicians, judges, and other figures taking payoffs from tech companies.

It will work this time, bro! We will get an actually just judgment! I know it! Just try once more!

Yep, that’s why the super mainstream organizations putting marches together are always suspicious to me. They get their funding from somewhere and the overarching goal is never 100% clear. Often times it’s good people at the center that aren’t aware of the ulterior motive behind the ones bankrolling it.

Even smaller orgs can be easily manipulated. They often don’t do any real research on people before giving them access to internal information that they could easily send to whoever they are working for. It’s something I wish more activist and other organizations would invest their time into.

Mobilization is the spark; organization is the fire. If you have the first and not the latter, you’re not moving the needle. Governments love mobilization because they can co-opt it. They can waste people’s energy via constant mobilization without established organizations.

The trick is giving it tons of context. It also depends on the LLM. Claude has given me the most success.

My take:

• Great for helping with coding tasks (especially the boring grunt work) - with proper context and training! You have to put in the work to get better, more relevant results
• Pretty useless for everything else. I’ve tested it out for everyday tasks and it didn’t offer enough for me to really lean into.

I think this is great. I like hearing about your experience in the VFX industry since it’s unfamiliar to me as a web dev. The storyboard comparison is spot on. I like that people can drum up a “what if” at such a fast pace, but vibe coders need to be aware that it’s not a final product. You can spin it up, gauge what works and what doesn’t, and now you have feasibility with low overhead. There’s real value to that.

Edit: forgot to touch on your PR comment.

At work, we have an optional GitHub workflow that lets you call Claude in a PR and it will do its own assessment based on the instructions file we wrote for it. We stress that it’s not a final say and will make mistakes, but it’s been good in a pinch. I think if it misses 5 things but uncovers 1 bug, that’s still a win. I’ve definitely had “a-ha” moments with it where my dumb brain failed to properly handle a condition or something. Our company is good about using it responsibly and supplying as much context as we possibly can.
