The number of times I have dealt with @AmazonHelp @AWSSupport around "why is my email associated with someone else's name" or "how did someone access my account with 2FA" …and their responses are always… "Change your password!" That's it. No investigation. No concern.

"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer." Simon Willison (@simonw) is one of the most prolific independent software engineers and most trusted voices on how AI is changing the craft of building software. He co-created Django, coined the term "prompt injection," and popularized the terms "agentic engineering" and "AI slop." In our in-depth conversation, we discuss: 🔸 Why November 2025 was an inflection point 🔸 The "dark factory" pattern 🔸 Why mid-career engineers (not juniors) are the most at risk right now 🔸 Three agentic engineering patterns he uses daily: red/green TDD, thin templates, hoarding 🔸 Why he writes 95% of his code from his phone while walking the dog 🔸 Why he thinks we're headed for an AI Challenger disaster 🔸 How a pelican riding a bicycle became the unofficial benchmark for AI model quality Listen now 👇 youtu.be/wc8FBhQtdsA

"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer, and it is mentally exhausting. I can fire up four agents in parallel and have them work on four different problems, and by 11am I am wiped out for the day. There is a limit on human cognition. Even if you're not reviewing everything they're doing, how much you can hold in your head at one time. There's a sort of personal skill that we have to learn, which is finding our new limits. What is a responsible way for us to not burn out, and for us to use the time that we have?" @simonw

@Wawa what is up with your app. Login - CE404. Reset password. Reinstall app. All the same. Go to support page - and it disables the submit button when I fill out the form?

@Yelp are you ever going to fix your broken “Join the conversation in <your city>”? 99% of the content is 100% not relevant to where I am.

@Intelius you have my email address attached to a profile. It's how I found my profile on your page. So when I go to "data deletion" and you claim "we don't have that email!" we can verify you are full of fucking shit.

@AmazonHelp I received an email from AWS saying my payment method had expired. I just logged in - was told to reset my password - and the information is NOT MY ACCOUNT. Your online support keeps directing me to the user's billing account. …how about no?

🚨💪HELL YEAHHH: A reporter just did what every journalist in that room should be doing. @ShawnMcCreesh looked the President of the United States in the eye and said: “You suggested Iran bombed its own elementary school with a missile only America sells. You are the only person in your government saying this. Why?” Trump’s response: “Whatever the report shows, I’m willing to live with it.” 🔥🔥 165 girls. Ages 7-12. That’s what accountability journalism looks like. Not softball questions. Not access journalism. Not protecting your White House credential. Going for the jugular on behalf of dead children. Remember that name: @ShawnMcCreesh. That’s how it’s done.

@RepJackKimble Well, it makes sense. Biden did just invade Iran, and democrats just let him do it.

When you're tempted to blame Trump's war for the cost of gas, remember this is still the Biden economy.

@ATTHelp I thought the tech was gone - he was merely hidden by my deck - dude stayed and made sure I was online before he was done. Did an excellent job and checked in with me the second he heard my connection was gone until it was running again.

@ikeif Hello there. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we apologize for this situation, and we'll get through the bottom of this to give you the most immediate solution. Before you share any other details, we may authenticate your account. Write us a PM! MariaJG twitter.com/messages/compo…

@ATTHelp just got fiber installed. Your tech came to bury the line today. Now I don’t have internet. Call me crazy but the correlation is high here. So why are you having me troubleshoot my modem when everything was working - until your tech buried the line?

@TheMG3D “Look what AI can do when it is fed pre-existing footage and references!” TBF: Hollywood would likely push AI slop like crazy if it meant they’d be able to fire more people and increase their profits.

“The era of "AI slop" is officially over.” Literally posts AI slop.

@dirtstiff88 @ColumboVSmagats @allenanalysis What the fuck is this, and what does it have to do with any context in the conversation?

JD Vance says fewer undocumented immigrants means Americans can finally afford homes. So which lie is it? They “don’t work” and “live on welfare” or they’re secretly buying up all the houses? You can’t have both. Pick a lie.

@JesseBWatters The files he said were a Democrat hoax? You’re a fucking embarrassment.

🚨 NEW: Trump KICKED Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago, CALLED the cops, and says “RELEASE THE FILES” — so why is the LEFT STILL outraged? 📂🔥

@RepFine So you’ve talked to Kristi Noem about murdering her dog, right? Because otherwise you’d be a hypocrite! Oh wait, you ARE a Republican, so hypocrisy is a given!

Not one Democrat has come out and said that people have the right to own a dog. They’re all coming down on the side of, “You can lead your dog to slaughter if that’s what we have to do to make Muslim immigrants happy.” Remember where they stand.

@Nessakins_ That tracks. Hope you didn’t imply something about “cis” or “vaccine awareness” they really don’t like those things for some reason.

Very cool.

This RIGHT HERE is the WORST THING about the SAVE Act. You could be WRONGLY purged from the voting rolls AFTER it is too late to re-register. This WILL happen to some. WATCH THIS. Repost it. Steal it if you want. The important thing is this truth NEEDS to be shared.

Nixon resigned, rather than get impeached for ATTEMPTING to spy on his political opponents and trying to cover it up. This week, Pam Bondi was caught red-handed ACTUALLY spying on members of congress. It didn’t last a 48 hour news cycle. We’ve come a long way.
