Holding informed opinions today is foolish. We had web search before, but they had friction to learning something. With LLMs the barrier to deeper knowledge has been removed. It'll get things wrong, but a nuanced wrong opinion is better than an uninformed one. @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com

Coding agents are great. We can build projects we never thought possible. But it also reduces the hands on keyboard time we all have writing code. This can lead to atrophy of those...

Anthropic is telling customers to fuck off, not because it doesn't want their money, but because it can't handle the growth. We don't have a product strategy here, we have a capacity crisis. fallthrough.fm/ep/70 @steveklabnik.com
"Humans are collectively good but individually bad." @ianlopshire.bsky.social on Fallthrough Ep 64 framing superintelligence as a stats problem: 9 billion humans, one training run, normal distribution. How do you like those odds? Full episode: fallthrough.fm/ep/64
@skriptble.me wanted to optimize a ZFS dataset for the data it'd be storing, so he set the recordsize to 4MB. When he started actually using the dataset he was greeted with minute long stalls. The problem? An SQLite database causing 1,000x write amplification 😬 #softwareengineering #zfs #filesystem
"You literally cannot DMCA it if it's not real." Anthropic issued DMCA notices for the Claude Code leak and in doing so settled the debate about whether it was genuine. fallthrough.fm/65 #Anthropic #ClaudeCode
People make projects for joy. And then others start depending on those projects. You wind up being buried in work and the project no longer generates joy for you. Instead it generates exhaustion, and eventually burnout. We need a better way to handle this. @skriptble.me #opensource #software
Does more hours mean we'll get more work done? Absolutely not. C. Northcote Parkinson wrote (satirically) about this: "Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion." @skriptble.me expands it a little: we'd get more work done if we worked fewer hours. #tech #workinghours
We often treat load-bearing infrastructure in software ecosystems an unserious way. When catastrophic things happen in software ecosystems we rarely make the systemic changes requires to ensure it won't happen again. @matthewsanabria.com #infrastructure #software #softwareengineering
"If you can't be honest about the capabilities of your technology, we don't want to hear it." The AI industry right now is obsessed with the appearance of disruption. fallthrough.fm/65 #AI #AIHype
@skriptble.me doesn't like Opus 4.7. @steveklabnik.com doesn't have a problem with it. The difference? Steve is mostly dispatching long running tasks. fallthrough.fm/ep/70
GitHub's traffic went up 45x in one year and it feels like their service uptime went down proportionally. Not because they're incompetent, but because of architectural decisions. SaaS means one person's outage is everyone's outage. The solution? BYOC. @steveklabnik.com fallthrough.fm/ep/70
I just had a powerful realization about women who "hate men" - sometimes it's not actually about the men themselves, but about the behavior or experiences they've had with them. Source #Feminism #Misandry #Stereotypes #Relationships #Dynamics

Trump protects the billionaire Epst**n class, while Democrats fight for affordable healthcare. The choice is easy, and that is why Democrats are kicking Trump and MAGA’s ass in election after election and why we will win the midterms.

John Oliver: Just last week, administration officials triumphantly announced indictments as part of their ongoing crackdown on health care fraud. But [...] some of those fraud cases seem strikingly similar to those for which Trump has granted clemency, when people have had connections to him.

Your attention is sharpest the moment you wake up. The morning is your brain's cleanest cognitive state, before fatigue and stress accumulate. Spend it on social and email and you go reactive for the day. Spend it on deep work or mindfulness and you protect your most valuable asset.
