I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out. I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really). It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely. The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture. We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying. I worry.

"oh we're building an answer to openclaw" who gives a shit man. who cares.

@ThePrimeagen Boi have I got a conference then ibm.com/events/think

wut

@Nick_Latcham @kenwheeler Fair enough, plus if you win in Vegas you have a story people don’t hate you for having

@erratlinezero @kenwheeler Yeah but chugging beers and running the blackjack table is fucking lit 🔥

starts with a d ends with a eterminism

My man has never been to a chipotle

XBOX CLOUD GAMING WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES OF AI.

@RhysSullivan No but you get really freaking close by building a harness environment with Daytona and Cloudflare IMO

has anyone built "the software factory" thing, misc requirements: - able to use my subscriptions (codex / claude) - stacked diffs w/ graphite - able to go from planning -> lots of small tasks - closing the review loop don't love current agent interfaces, want something new

Isaac Newton was bested by midwits. Never underestimate the stupidity of the median

Kubernetes is the same

@jayair Seems like their context window got too big and are hallucinating. Have you considered firing them for openclaw with a good memory backend?

Being in a different time zone from the US is weird because you’ll go to bed when they start work But then you’ll wake up to find them doing whatever this is

The year of the GitLab/GitTea server has arrived

@thekitze If the employer is paying: $500 a month If the employee is paying: $100 a month IMO if I can get decent auto-complete with JetBrains at $16 a month using their LSP 200 for inference is stupid. I'd be better off typing faster and feeding my family

let's say subsidies are over, what's the upper limit of how much you'd pay for a codex/claude plan that currently costs $200 be honest.

@tekbog ClankerCloud idea: one click secure GitLab self-hosted deploys that have private backplane connectivity to your cloud environment for runners and deploys

i bet at github it was like “wow bad week guys i guess it can’t get worse” but it does get worse

Crazy that Microsoft funded the invention of a thing that would turn to GitHub into their most profitable Enterprise and then absolutely fumbled it

In 24 months this will be the industry norm if subsidies crash hard

@vikhyatk It is easier to expand the AWS bill than it is to add a new vendor. We shouldn’t be automating software engineers we should be automating finance bros

basically it turns out you can build superintelligence but enterprises won't buy it unless it's on bedrock

@tekbog Looks like it became Microsoft ClankerCloud by the aesthetics here

asked chatgpt to make a picture about clanker cloud

A society that prioritizes adult individuals over children and families is destined for misery. I don’t blame the adults, they’re just doing what our culture says we should do: look after ourselves first and only, bc people we don’t know aren’t our problem. If a pregnant or elderly woman wants your seat on the subway, too bad, she should have gotten there first.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies having to be sold so desperately. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
