What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

Threads is allegedly part of the fediverse, yet I'm nowhere near the point of being able to ask Threads users to follow my Mastodon profile. Attached is how my Mastodon profile looks over there. Some of the issues:

1. Threads users can follow Mastodon Me *only if* they themselves have turned on fediverse sharing (an arbitrary hurdle).
2. They have to exactly type my Mastodon handle.
3. You can like but not reply.
4. "Some posts may not be visible" (why?!)
5. There's no bio!

Any other hurdles?

Several of the LLMs have produced inaccuracies which have been uncritically communicated to our customers by CrowdStrikers who failed to exhibit due diligence. Those errors were caught by said customers, and they were embarrassing to us all.
...
Now we have an engineer, if you can call him that, working on a project that will introduce more than 30k lines of AI generated code into our codebase, without a single unit test. It will be impossible to do a proper code review on this much code and it will become a maintenance nightmare and possibly a security hazard. I don't need to tell you how much management is cheering on that.
From @brianmerchant@mastodon.social 's latest newsletter: https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/how-ai-is-killing-jobs-in-the-tech

A ticking timebomb in the making. It's especially galling that CrowdStrike is doing this, given their epic fail just last year.

A while back I wrote in a post here:
under Taylorism the workers who actually do the work and know it best no longer have a say (opinion) in how that work gets done. Pseudo-scientific principles (scientific management, the astrology of MBAs) dictates all. Computers, from the very first, were intended and designed for this purpose.
riffing on what a lousy person Charles Babbage was and the lousy anti-worker plans he had for the proto-computers he designed. Among other things generative AI is another manifestation of the MBA pseudoscience known as scientific management and exists in a long line of digital technologies stretching all the way back to Babbage's.

Our cat Abby has grokked that socks are important to us humans, and now we have to hide them because she’ll sneak one and try to use it as currency for food and favors.

Let me repeat: My cat has invented her own form of currency based on her observations of human needs

Abby, you’re a genius and no you may not have another Churu tube

これは、だからいいじゃん、という擁護じゃありません

やらかしちゃった時に適切な選択肢はどれでしょうか?
・言い訳をする
・開き直る
・逆ギレする
・真摯に反省して受け止め、謝罪する
わかりますよね、これが自分が起こしたことだと途端に難しくなるのです
わたしもそうです
