when every company that has used AI assisted coding is forced to publish their source code

I guarantee you that will never happen. In the US? Do you live here? You think tech billionaires would ever suffer that kind of consequence?

What exactly is your problem with Docker? It's open source.

Also closed-source container images exist.

There are still various incompatibilities between the two, and it becomes relevant if you need to work with any organization that has standardized on Docker-specific tooling.

I don't regret the times I show anger at work, but it's a definitely a fine line that can leave me feeling a bit uneasy afterwards. It's one of the "social capital" things; you need to earn enough good will to spend your anger on the battles that really matter to you.

Agreed that the solution to metastasized slop debt is to just rewrite it. That's kind of another way of saying that your entire codebase was written at prototype quality, except worse because of all the hidden decisions no one made.

I think the solution is a radical shift in how we test and review code. If your coworkers weren't thorough at testing and code review before 2026, then you are probably suffering right now.

I'm guessing LLM advocates want to solve this problem by throwing more LLMs at it, I.e.adversarial review bots, harness engineering, etc. And those are probably good ideas to raise the competency of LLMs, but I don't think they can replace the better judgement of humans anytime soon.

If your workplace culture already had strong testing and code review standards, then a sloppy PR is going to fail the smell test quickly.

And the biggest problem I see is simply with lazy people who don't review their own slop but expect others to review it. It's infuriating and completely unacceptable.

Assuming everyone is trying their best, there is really no substitute for getting your hands dirty and making sure you at least understand all of the code you submit and take the time to interrogate the surrounding code as well. I don't think there is a hard rule to know that you've adequately "digested" and refined the LLM output. But even before LLMs, I used to review my own code and iterate to make it more readable. It's like writing prose: you read, edit, re-read, until it's good.

Why would you want your entire home folder in syncthing?

"Fraud" might be a bit strong, but Theo just generally seems to have myopic takes on programming. I always cringe when I watch his videos.

I'm not sure I need a lot of compute on my NAS. I guess I might as well get as much as I can before it becomes cost prohibitive. Not planning on running any local LLMs on it though, so a GPU is probably overkill.

I've been thinking about getting a real NAS machine instead of having my gaming PC always on. This looks pretty slick.

Or both little dudes and big dudes to make the big dudes look even bigger. Worked well in The Odyssey.

"crushing it" might be a bit superlative but sure

I would vote for Bernie in a heartbeat.

He seems to always be on the right side of history, he understands the root causes of our national crises, and he has solutions.

Problem: Two-party system, voter apathy.

Solution: Ranked choice voting, remove electoral college (popular vote interstate compact).

Problem: Bought elections.

Solution: Repeal Citizens United.

Problem: Federal deficit spending.

Solution: Reform government contracts with private corpos so we're not getting gouged. Repurpose military budget. Tax the rich.

Problem: Ignorant and misinformed voting population.

Solution: More school funding, pay teachers more.

Problem: All surplus value is siphoned away from the working class.

Solution: Tax incentives for employee-owned companies. More support for unions.

Problem: Consumer price gouging.

Solution: Break up monopolies, punish anti-competitive behavior.

Problem: Irresponsible banking.

Solution: Un-repeal Glass-Steagall.

Problem: Expensive healthcare.

Solution: Universal healthcare. Don't even try to tell me we can't afford it.

I love that the EU is cracking down on tech, but I also wish the US government could get in on that awesome rake.

This would be more believable if Elon paid his cloud bills.

I don't understand how businesses that use windows for employee laptops are not throwing a fucking tantrum. I would be.

In over ten years of professional programming, I have never used inheritance without regretting it.
