  • Developers all love to preen about code. They worry LLMs lower the “ceiling” for quality. Maybe. But they also raise the “floor”.

    And this is how the human element of this industry dies. This dev is the last of a dying breed, the senior dev. He’s also loading more bullets into the gun that’s pointed at the heart of the role that got him to where he is in the first place.

    You don’t get to become a junior dev if that role is occupied by AI and you don’t get to ever ascend to senior dev unless you start as a junior dev.

    For as analytical this person seems to be, he has a massive blindspot related to the path he himself treaded to get where he is. He’s pulling the ladder up behind him and condemning the people on the path behind to finding another way or giving up entirely.

    AI is brain rot. It’s actively and aggressively atrophying humanity’s ability to reason and problem solve.









  • Say what you want about Alabama and its people, but I don’t know if there’s a single area of North America that gets more consistently fucked by their elected officials than the Bible Belt.

    This project will almost definitely go through and it won’t be long until we hear about how the natural freshwater resources in the area have been completely ruined by this project.

    Also, why do these data centers need to be so fucking huge? Why can’t they be put in, you know, older, vacant commercial properties that are generating no rent income right now? Just put little data centers all over the place. It’s also much harder to target many small locations than one absolutely fucking massive one in the event of a conflict.
