Move Fast and Break Things wasn't the first phrase but it was the most blunt and honest. Tech as an industry loves to prioritize speed over all else, including any sense of direction. With AI tools, we've doubled down on this and it's made things much worse. @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com #tech

@adamhjk.me thinks that we should just let the LLMs go wild, but @matthewsanabria.com sees the value in continuing to do tasks ourselves that LLMs might automate. While those with decades of experience benefit from the speed, those with less experience benefit from the friction and the struggle.
@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 ๐ฌ #softwareengineering #zfs #filesystem
Like social media feeds, we should worry about how AI will pull us away from each other by pulling us toward it instead. "It's incentivizing humans to be isolated, when we're naturally a communal group of people" --@matthewsanabria.com fallthrough.fm/64 #AI
"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
Do LLMs hold all of the world's knowledge? Absolutely not, and relatively they hold about as much knowledge as you do. But our brains are bad at understanding relative scales as non-linear. @skriptble.me #tech #llms #softwareengineering
Gemini is depressed, Codex is sycophantic, and Claude is made by a quasi-religious org. @steveklabnik.com's conclusion? The weirdos who are weirdest about it are also making the best one. fallthrough.fm/ep/64
Git was designed for the Linux kernel, which most people would describe as large. If you've worked at Google or Meta, you'd describe it as small. @steveklabnik.com fallthrough.fm/ep/70
Are software engineers suffering from main character syndrome? @skriptble.me argues that they have been and there's a reason to actually fix that. If software engineers can't argue for things they support (e.g. open source) to the business, they won't get buy-in. #tech #software #business
We only call ourselves the "most intelligent" species because we wrote the test. Dogs smell better. Birds see better. Bacteria evolve faster. Beavers reshape ecosystems more efficiently than we do. @skriptble.me on Fallthrough Ep 64. Full episode: fallthrough.fm/ep/64
JJ has no staging area. At least, that's how it's presented. As @steveklabnik.com discovered, the staging area is a workflow pattern in JJ, you can opt in or you can opt out. fallthrough.fm/ep/70
