power slop: AI generated code optimizing for maximum leverage in the fewest lines/files/tokens/concepts...
also the made up genre used in the movie airheads

fear not!
this is no cyberpocalypse
this is the internet’s immune system finally waking up to an illness it has always had
a mere fever
the 0days were always there
the only thing that changed is awareness
now we begin the healing process ⚕️
when i was a kid tvs didnt have rca a/v inputs, some didnt even have coax. tho by then most people had vcr's which had coax, uhf, and rca input AND output. i remember it feeling like the ultimate adapter device that could ALSO record and playback across them all
the start of plan 9 style binds in windows
Thanks a lot for this. I tried to port it to MS Windows a few days ago (and my first prototype had your nfs setup), but in the process I found out that modern Win actually supports true Unix-style bind mounts. 🙂 github.com/christian-korneck…
tried to make portable, single binary postgresql with PGlite and wazero. of course @bradfitz beat me to initial poc, but built on his work and made a drop-in replacement tcp server.
unfortunately, PGlite seems designed for 1 connection and target app needs several otherwise deadlock
insane 5+ hour Wanix universe deep dive and dev session twitch.tv/videos/2900661463
this stream has lots of great wanix info that a transcript would be just as difficult to get through. luckily somebody made a great summarization: gist.github.com/lalyos/05fbb…
if you're using lima for mac vms, here's a tool to boot into recovery mode (to turn SIP off for example) gist.github.com/progrium/6b7…
wanix / plan 9-style bind on mac. easily make layered file trees, even chroots if daring github.com/progrium/macbind
use 9p grids (wanix, plan 9, etc) from iOS, watchOS, even tvOS. github.com/progrium/NineSwif…

get started power slopping with these free cheat codes to throw in your prompts:
- "in a single file"
- "the simplest"
- "as concise as possible"
- "minimal"
- "avoid dependencies"
- "challenge my idiotic tendency to add complexity"
what else

What worries me about the future of programming is you see this and don’t immediately know there must be something wrong with the results or what you actually measured.
I've had agents implement and optimize the Campfire web app in Elixir, Go, and Rust. Yes, Ruby is the slowest. I didn't care about that when the pay-off was huge in terms of productivity and developer joy. But if you're no longer reading the code? github.com/basecamp/once-cam…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The shown benchmarks use non-equivalent implementations: Elixir routes all DB queries through a single GenServer with Redis for jobs (retained from Rails), while Rust uses in-process queues, omits CSRF tags/fields, and applies other caching changes.

- easiest code to maintain is code not written
- code is easiest to change when there is less of it
- less code, less bugs, less exploits
