Working on the Beholder costume for the kiddo for Halloween. Feels good to build something for no purpose at all except joy.

When will it become a strategic disadvantage to have Microsoft Teams as your ChatOps?

FAANG took our data, then AI Labs took our data from them, then open weight labs distilled the weights from our data, now we use the LLMs to reverse engineer and rebuild in Rust all closed source software and build APIs that allow us to command software with our voices
This is the doom I predicted a few days ago, coming for Photoshop. A clean-room open-source reimplementation. No prizes for guessing that they decompiled Photoshop to source code, processed that to some kind of non-code specification language, then fed the spec to an LLM with an instruction to generate Rust. Adobe just got nuked. And closed source is dead, dead, dead. github.com/storytold/photocr…
