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.
The fediverse now has a TikTok alternative called Loops by 
@dansup. Open source, federated via ActivityPub, funded by NLnet and community donations instead of venture capital. You own your content and can self host. Beta is live and the iOS app just hit the App Store.

Just read a beautiful reason why we (I) keep so many of these old IT things:
Every one of these old objects is the distillation of a group’s beliefs about what the future will look like. They’re not junk. They are memorials for an imagined better tomorrow.

Let that sink in. Even one of the load and vocal AI proponents such as 
@simonSimon Willison admits
“I no longer have a firm mental model of what they can do and how they work, which means each additional feature becomes harder to reason about, eventually leading me to lose the ability to make confident decisions about where to go next.”

Not afraid of many things AI can inflect on my life, but I’m personally very much afraid of acquired helplessness such as this.

Adding to this: much of my LLM usage actually goes into writing documentation and communicating in English—a language that isn't mine but that open source essentially demands. For non-native English speakers, LLMs are a genuine equalizer. They let me write docs that don't get ignored for sounding awkward, and participate in discussions without spending twice the effort a native speaker would. But when English-native developers dismiss LLM-assisted writing wholesale, they're not even aware of the privilege baked into that judgment. It's like someone who's never had to do housework scoffing at a washing machine for making people “lazy”—easy to say when the burden was never yours to begin with.
And a note for fellow non-native English speakers from European language backgrounds: I hear you, and we're on the same side of this, but the gap isn't the same for everyone. Korean and English have a linguistic distance of 89.2 out of 100—essentially no detectable relationship at all. No shared roots, no cognates to lean on, completely different writing system. The distance between, say, French or German and English is a different universe. So when I say LLMs are an equalizer for writing English, I mean it quite literally—without one, even expressing a simple idea in natural-sounding English can take me disproportionately longer than the idea itself deserves.

Some of this resonates, but maybe code wizard is not the correct lens?
For ~50 years, programmer meant “writes code”. But, maybe it should have meant "solves problems".
In other words: companies don't pay programmers high salaries to write code, they pay them to solve business problems. Sometimes that means you don't write any code at all and fix a process problem. Other times, code is the solution.
The code is not the valuable artifact, though.
같은 이름을 한 블친이 둘 있는데. 한 쪽과는 최근에도 교류가 좀 있는 편이고, 다른 쪽과는 요즘 그리 많은 편은 아닌데. 머릿속에서 블친의 이미지를 주로 이름으로 기억하다보니 자꾸 두 사람의 이미지가 겹쳐져서 포스트 쓰기 전에 멈칫하고 기억을 재정리 해야 하는 경우가 자꾸 생긴다. 이런 게 해시 충돌인가.
Vの物を追ってると界隈のいろんな話を聞くようになるけど、ヴァーチャルヴォルデモートを越える逸材は出てこないなぁの印象。いやまぁあんなのがまた出てこられても困るんすけど。

Heute im IT-Bereich arbeiten heißt oft: Stellen werden gestrichen, Aufgaben nach Indien ausgelagert, »Effizienz« wird mit KI als Sparprogramm verkauft, Projekte werden kaputtgespart, Teams dauerhaft unterbesetzt, Budgets eingefroren, befristete Verträge zur Normalität gemacht und Wissen über Jahre hinweg entsorgt – Hauptsache die Excel-Zeile sieht gut aus.
Und danach wird ernsthaft gejammert, es fehlten »Fachkräfte«. Nein. Es fehlen keine Fachkräfte. Es fehlt der Wille, Leute auszubilden, ordentlich zu bezahlen und Arbeitsbedingungen zu schaffen, bei denen gute Leute bleiben wollen.
@kuketzblogMike Kuketz 🛡 Immer wenn ich Fachkräftemangel lese, ersetze ich das durch "Mangel an billigen Fachkräften". Im Laufe des letzten Jahres sind in meinem Umfeld mehrere in DE ausgebildete Fachkräfte mit ausländischen Wurzeln weggezogen weil sie dort wo sie jetzt leben einen besseren Deal bekommen in Bezug auf Lebensqualität, Lebenshaltungskosten, Nettoeinkommen etc.
This is perhaps one of the worst designed objects I have the displeasure of interacting with on a regular basis. It's a symphony of bad design choices. A vile hateful piece of equipment that makes my day a little bit worse every time I use one.
What is it? It's an NS ticket gate. In this case photographed at Sloterdijk Station, but they are installed at many stations across the Netherlands.
Why is it so badly designed?

There are now 58 big plushies left (US only), and 22 small ones (US, UK, EU).
I've been honestly adding Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> to every commit where I used an LLM even slightly—whether it's generating test scaffolding, drafting docs, or just bouncing ideas. I thought transparency was the right thing to do. Turns out, people see that trailer and immediately assume the whole thing is “vibe coded” AI slop, no further questions asked. The irony is that being honest about my process is what's getting my work dismissed.
Now I'm genuinely torn. Do I keep the trailer and accept that some people will write off my work at a glance? Or do I drop it and lose something I actually believe in? It's frustrating that there's no widely understood distinction between “I prompted an LLM to write my entire app” and “I used an LLM as a tool while writing my own code.” I don't have an answer yet—just sitting with the discomfort for now.

TIL: The Return of the Durutti Column is the debut studio album by English band The Durutti Column. The original 2000 LP sleeves were made of coarse sandpaper
How subversive is that? :D

오늘 친구와 간 카페에서 먹은 디저트가 괜찮았어요.
연휴에 주말이라 어느 카페든 자리가 없을 것 같아서 일부러 회전이 빠른 대형 카페로 찾아갔어요.
가격은 착하지 않은 편이지만… 주변 다른 카페들도 케이크가 8천원 선부터 시작하더라고요.
제가 알던 시세가 아니에요… 분명 평균 6천원대, 비싸야 7~8천원대였는데 
おやすみ
비만 네거티브
할머니가 말랐다고 하면 아직 괜찮은거니까 많이 드세요.
