LLMs for coding (thread)

Our current software crisis—we've had a few—has been ramping up IMO since the post-2007 bailouts. Instead of regulating finance, the US let the finance industry take over, which hasn't been great overall, but for software it's meant that "quality" stopped mattering

Well-funded startups capture market share with subsidised products.

Big tech is a cluster of oligopolies and monopolies.

Internal software projects are driven by their potential effects on stock prices

Reflecting on all the times in my career as a software engineer I have been told that, yes, things were a bit unfair to me as a woman, but that I was being a trailblazer, I was the one discovering and establishing the path that would enable others to follow.

But you go back to the 70s and you see the same number of women programmers, being fed that exact same line
And in the 80s
and the 90s
and so on to today. The "trailblazer" narrative is a lie told by managers to make themselves feel better

야마다 나오코 감독 '리즈와 파랑새'와 '너의 색' 이야기가 눈에 띄었는데, 백합작품에서는 여성간에 돌봄(ケア) 문제가 비중있게 다뤄지는데 '너의 색'은 거기에 남성 캐릭터가 들어가도 돌봄에 대한 이야기가 성립할 수 있다는 걸 보여줬다고? 어떤 작품인지 궁금해졌다.

“When you create a law, you have to think about what a future government could do with those powers."

Ministers would have unilateral powers to lock what they see as 'harmful' behind digital ID checks.

This could end up being used on LGBTQ+ and reproductive health content.

I spent a weekend fighting Swift concurrency errors while my AI tool made things worse with every suggestion.
So I built Awesome iOS AI - a curated list of every skill, agent, and MCP server that makes AI actually useful for Swift development.
Featuring work from @twostrawsPaul Hudson, @dimillianThomas Ricouard, Antoine van der Lee, and others.

We strongly oppose the Unified Attestation initiative and call for app developers supporting privacy, security and freedom on mobile to avoid it. Companies selling phones should not be deciding which operating systems people are allowed to use for apps.

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously.

To be clear: Signal’s encryption and infrastructure have not been compromised and remain robust. These attacks were executed via sophisticated phishing campaigns, designed to trick users into sharing information – SMS codes and/or Signal PIN – to gain access to users’ accounts.
