@ciphergoth @alexkehr Thankfully, for now, wrangling this LLM thing properly - at least for some software engineering contexts - still requires the skills of a software engineer, as opposed to, say, a “product architect.” But knowing some of those guys, I have a suspicion they highly doubt that.

@ciphergoth @alexkehr To be clear I’m not saying it couldn’t produce other types of production code including for things I’ve had to code before and not that long ago. But for that systems stuff, I can’t. Yes, I consider myself lucky to work on that, mainly because I have liked it since I was a kid;

@monikafurtado @alexkehr This is true, intuitively. I think there’s a serious danger about executives and the like not realizing this and proceeding to get rid of a ton of quality people. Presumably eventually things will self-correct but not before a lot of chaos.

@alexkehr Beyond maintenance work I disagree. When a manager was no longer ‘able to call bullshit’ on developer speak they were phased out. A developer that stops building, understanding the limitations and finding the spark of new ideas and methods will end up a cog and not an innovator.

hot take: any software engineer who is not already at close to 100% ai coding output should be cut within the next 3 months not only are they inefficient, but they’ve also shown a lack of curiosity and willingness to learn

@ciphergoth Yeah. The people replying saying I’m wrong will be jobless. They all claim to be good engineers… but good engineers use all tools available to make their job easier

@ciphergoth I’m not at 100% wrt actual production code written; but I certainly use LLMs a ton at work to get things done and have been for 2+ years. Pay accounts and all. It’d be crazy not to.

perspective it becomes much harder to pinpoint things to still admire. Like, what's so great about this hive-mind, once everyone has been converted? It's a giant virus that spreads... something. That's its main characteristic. All the peace-love stuff... so? It seems empty.

It is indeed interesting that, on one hand, the Others are extremely admirable in the way they steward the planet and (other than the coercive conversion thing) how they relate to 12 regular humans -- but on the other hand, once regular humanity goes away, from our regular human

I found this a particularly depressing sequence where as Kusimayu's assimilation completes the community she yearned to join is rendered inert and the culture extinct #Pluribus

All very normal requests from an editor under different circumstances — absolutely baffling reasons to abruptly yank a report that has been screened five times, promoted publicly, and slated to air within hours
Conor Friedersdorf@conor64

I've published on the CECOT story, I want more Americans to know about it (read my piece!), I want 60 Minutes to cover it, and this memo seems... like normal and plausibly sound reasons to delay its broadcast.

If the team takes some of @bariweiss editorial suggestions to heart, it will be more not less of an indictment against this administration.

Graeme Wood can fly over a desert in a burning plane and still get the the briefly-available-in-Canada version of the contested 60 minutes segment. His report on it is command reading. In its current state, it’s not that great. ⁦ theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/12/…

I love all the Free Press staff chiming in to say what happened at 60 Minutes is normal newsroom stuff. We already know it is for you guys! That’s the point!
Coleman Hughes@coldxman

Tbh these are all questions I’d expect from any plugged-in editor if I were writing a piece on this issue. And if addressing those edits delayed the piece (as it always does), that would not mean the piece was “pulled” or “killed”.
