Do not learn tomorrow what you can learn today and do not worry about what you need to learn tomorrow while you are still busy learning what today offers

Programmers, engineers, and mathematicians who hate AI loved solving puzzles not problems.

pretending your written code is less slop than frontier models is a huge cope btw

I'm old enough to remember when 'C++ slop' was the battle cry of 'real' coders. Then it was 'Unity slop' and 'Unreal slop' from those who thought hand-rolled engines were superior in every way. Now it's AI slop. People draw a line on the abstraction hierarchy below which they are happy to automate the tedium. The line just moved... that's all. Skilled people will still make superior software. We have been inundated with low quality slop since the birth of digital distribution decades ago. It's nothing new.

Llevamos décadas construyendo software con código mediocre, bugs ancestrales, hacks sobre hacks, tests a medias, TODOs olvidados, parches temporales que se volvieron permanentes y código que nadie se atreve a tocar. Y ahora resulta que nos preocupa confiar en código que no entendemos porque lo escribió una IA. Como si lleváramos décadas entendiendo perfectamente el código que escribimos nosotros.

Amazing how quickly we went from "oh no LLMs are going to flood the Internet with insecure code" to "oh no LLMs have discovered the internet was already flooded with insecure code"

Unpopular opinion: your results with AI largely depend on how smart you are

We’re about to learn that most code written over the last 20 years was complete slop and most software developers were never that good

The funny thing is everyone was saying AI slop code will cause a cyber crisis but it’s actually all the old human slop causing it and the AI is just cleaning it up

The situation where a certificate's private key only has 8 bits of randomness instead of 384 is unacceptable. We should urge all certificate authorities to immediately publish their private keys so that the community can make sure they are random enough.

they told us in math class in the early 2000s that we wouldn’t have a calculator with us always and 20 years later my friends argue whether or not my pocket phone contains a conscious machine god

Unfinished coding side projects are now way easier to complete than unfinished blog posts. I’m perfectly OK with AI writing my code, even the docs. But I flinch at the idea of AI writing my blog posts, which feels like an egregious violation of a fundamental ethnical contract.

Just found out about recency bias. Maybe the most important bias ever

if you’re a software engineer you should pivot to being a navigator of complexity

Okay, so matrix multiplication on silicon isn’t thinking, but the flow of sodium ions through protein channels embedded in a lipid bilayer is? Why do materialists turn to animist reasoning when the substrate is carbon-based instead of silicon?
