This was overseen by the global CTO of a 1.5 billion dollar company. Boggles the mind.

People say AI can only look backwards and true creativity looks forward. While I agree with that, this Promptgenix guy is making _really_ catchy, genre bending music. It's familiar but somehow new. It's written by a human but produced by AI tools. I wanted to hate it but I just can't. Call it what you want but I think this is art. As with any AI, taste, judgement, and knowing what to ask for remains a human quality. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPLGUsJKR/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQkzTjSmnA4

I think we can all agree that of all the work that has gone on today to patch these PHP CVEs, the organization that has dropped the ball and made everyone's lives miserable has been the Amazon Linux team. We will never deploy another system on Amazon Linux on my watch.

Write me a test suite. Make no mistakes.

Apple you know what I never want? My text messages summarized.

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8379W7H/ shockingly this is actually a decent, and amusing take.

Actually really disappointed that the iPhone upgrade program is going away. The new leasing thing is a worse mechanism as it removes optionality. I feel like this system wasn’t broken, not sure why it needed fixing. I’ll probably end up buying an 18 Pro and financing it on my Apple Card.

Why aren’t there any good, novel IOS games anymore. Did microtransactions just completely end the creativity on the platform?

One day tech people will realize how much marketing matters. Not today, but one day.

Been using Laravel every day for a decade. Just got my first PR approved. Crazy that it took that long. But also, telling, in that it took that long for me to find something that it didn't just solve for me already.

Well I wasn’t planning on shipping a SAML IDP today but I did. Crazy how easy it is to solve real problems with Laravel.

Photoshop and Illustrator started their death spiral when Creativr Cloud came out. And I don’t begrudge them their subscription model. I begrudge them destroying what were essentially “finished” applications.

Holy shit i used Laravel's tap() for real.

You know if MS Teams just did like 3 simple things they would be a superior product to Slack. 1) actual chat rooms / public channels 2) better / more / custom emoji stuff 3) actually i guess its just those two things

So true. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8GvLqW8/

Sonnet 5 for Claude Code is a god damned train wreck.

My former organization is apparently now mandating that 90% of code be written by AI. That is so patently absurd that it might as well be measuring developers by lines of code written. It's been highly amusing to watch the poor technology leadership decisions play out after I left, but I feel bad for my friends still working there.

An enterprise SaaS company that we pay well into the 6-figures annually just emailed and said "we noticed some of your users are not using Chrome. Can you please ask them to use Chrome so we can ensure all the features of our interface work properly?". Are you effing kidding me with this?
