ABEND dump #25

Welcome to the ABEND dump #25!

Don’t know what is an “ABEND dump”?! I’m glad you asked.

You can check the previous ABEND dump here:

Everybody is talking about AI lately, so inevitably I’d share the drama in the ABEND dump eventually, and here we are.

WTF with these guys?! Are they in the first grade yet? ¬¬

Which lead us to...

I feel like I’m living in a Black Mirror episode now.

You don’t know what I’m talking about? Go watch this:

At least, it is doing work for us, and reducing our burden. Or, isn’t it?

While some programmers were freaking out, fearing being replace by AI. Well, now there’s some proof that it is not robing us the work, but in fact creating more work for us. Not exactly what we were expecting, right?

And Thorsten’s Substack is my favorite source of AI related stuff these days. Like this quote from Chris Lattner:

Lower barriers to implementation do not reduce the importance of engineers; instead, they elevate the importance of vision, judgment, and taste. When creation becomes easier, deciding what is worth creating becomes the harder problem. AI accelerates execution, but meaning, direction, and responsibility remain fundamentally human.

Long live to tasteful software!

Speaking of which...

I can’t believe I used opencode all this time without this!

I never played WoW, so I tweaked peonping to have Bender from Futurama telling me things have completed. It’s so useful, and so much fun XD
