Mayor Greg Bozzo said other big industrial projects have been approved in the same manner over the years, but didn’t cause any uproar.
“It didn’t bother them that a food-distribution center came to Gilroy without their engagement, but now it bothers them that a data center is coming to Gilroy without them having the possibility of engagement,” Bozzo said.
“We…have an opportunity to change the way that we do business in Gilroy,” the mayor said. “We’re adapting to the times.”
Seems like the article accidentally misspelled his name with an extra "z". What an absolutely shit take. The corruption here is so obvious.
Season 1 Episode 3 of The Last of Us TV show. I was in a similar place as you for a long time, and that episode of all things just absolutely broke me for some reason. It was pretty cathartic.
Ghost. They're the only band I've seen more than once. I've seen them 3 times so far, and I will definitely go again next time they're in my area. The main thing that makes it worth it is their stage presence. They go all out on the costumes, choreography, and set design. Even the fans will get all dressed up. And their music is also super solid. Imo almost every song is a banger.
Unfortunately, the person who deliberately prompted AI to write this blog post and publish it is getting exactly what they want. Attention. And all of the gullible people acting like this is somehow an example of "dangerous levels of AI intelligence" or whatever bullshit are playing right into it.
AI agents are becoming your biggest API consumers, and they can't always DM other teams. If you want to be productive with AI, if you want your codebase to be a place where agents can actually work, you need to think of your codebase as an application that the agent is interacting with.
So what you're saying is: mis-type everything! 👉😉👉
I'm not so sure the "open source" part is working either when you think about how AI tools were trained.
It's really sad, because the accessibility of developing software and collaborative nature of the open source community is a big part of what drew me to software engineering as a career, and it's always been one of the first things I mention about why I love it. But, of course, these fucking evil companies found a way to take every individual part of something good and twist it into something awful.
The most frustrating is when someone asks me for help because they're stuck then hits me with a barrage of "chatgpt said xxx" complete nonsense while I'm trying to assess the situation
That is the absolute worst. I've even gotten "Because Claude said so" in response to code review comments asking why they made a certain design decision.
they let off the gas
Man, I'm so jealous. My company is too large for me to have any sway, and they just added AI tool adoption as one of the key performance indicators on our performance reviews. 😔
I am staunchly anti-AI, but the company I am working for unfortunately pushes AI tool adoption extremely aggressively. A lot of the things in the post are similar to sentiments I have. Specifically the sections around vibe coding offloading the burden of work to the reviewer and how to mitigate that by pushing back against those sorts of PRs.
I agree with you, though, that the post ignores the simplest solution of just not using AI tools. It may be the case that the author doesn't have the ability to enforce that, but it should still definitely be listed as the first and most logical solution.
I'm at the point where I'm seriously considering creating a blocklist of certain engineers at work that spam out vibe coded trash PRs and informing my manager that I will not do code reviews for anyone on the list.
Mainly just piano. I like playing chords with my left hand and the melody with my right hand. I'm not great at keeping steady rhythm. If I or anyone else starts singing along, I immediately lose focus. I mostly just play for myself for stress relief.
I'm trying to learn guitar, but it's slow going for the time being.
My experience from community college was quite a mixed bag. Some of the professors were amazing and genuinely loved to teach, and I benefited so much from those classes. And then some professors just seemed bitter that they weren't at a university and made their classes miserable. I even had a few classes "taught" by someone that didn't even have a bachelor's (through a technicality where the dean proctored the actual exams). Overall, I learned enough and got the degree, and I was able to break into software engineering with just an associate degree and no debt. So worth it in the end!
Yeah. I opened the comments because I was genuinely interested in how communism tackles this and was kind of looking forward to a thought-provoking answer. The above just kind of dances around the question entirely. I especially loved this line:
No one knows that communism looks like yet.
Gives me major "trust me bro" energy. Kind of reminds me of the religion I was in as a kid where every difficult question was answered with "no one fully understands God, you just have to have faith".
I'm not even going to bother commenting on that train wreck of a post, but I just wanted to mention that I hate the writing style of programming-related LinkedIn posts. They're just chock-full of sweeping generalizations presented as absolute truth in an extremely patronizing tone.
Why can't people just say, "In my opinion, X technology is a better fit for Y situation for Z reason," instead of "Every time you encounter X, you must do Y, otherwise you're dead wrong."
It's just simultaneously so arrogant and also aggressively ignorant. If someone spoke to me like that in real life, I would never want to speak with them again. And these people are broadcasting this shit to their entire professional network.
I agree with this, and I like the way the post is laid out. I'm one of the software devs at my company pushing hard for accessibility (and getting nowhere). Unfortunately, it seems like the Venn diagram of the group of people who care about accessibility and the people who have final say over resourcing it is basically just two circles.
From a corporate perspective, the counter-argument to everything in the article is just "anything beyond the bare minimum doesn't have enough ROI." Or in the case of some companies I've worked for, "we're willing to risk the lawsuit, we'll just settle."
