ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED -- spoke to an actual IRS tax person -- after 90 + 30 minutes on-hold. And maybe 40+ attempts over past couple of weeks. ... still had to pay, but at least verified payments on May 2025 hadn't disappeared due to mis-classification as it first appeared. What a journey.

Anyone know if non-public Zendesk is the only way to report issues with central.sonatype.com publishing? Used that due to issue github.com/FasterXML/jackson-core/issues/1617 (jackson-core 2.22.0 publishing stuck) but cannot share link, no way to see status etc (... or I don't know of one)?

Brillant, and what I've been saying since vibecoding emerged: "From the bottom: no juniors entering the pipeline, so no new seniors. From the top: existing seniors slowly losing the depth that made them senior. The pipeline is collapsing from both ends simultaneously." (via @spinscale.bsky.social)
AI didn't kill your junior pipeline. You did | Andrew Murphy
AI didn’t kill the junior pipeline; companies did, because someone saw Claude write a for loop and decided that meant they could stop training humans. The result is an industry cheerfully pulling the ...

Claude denied code generation for the first time today (to create sec vuln test case). But was able to successfully argue my case; my being a "security researcher" helping fix vulns, and got the test case written. Lols. Waiting for the "Invention of Lying" moment in near future.

"Well, Katie, I think if you knew this individual as long and as well as President Trump has, you would understand just how serious the accusation of treason really is. Papa Smurf is no angel, believe me."
As Trump's dementia worsens and he becomes more erratic with his little tantrums, we're going to be treated to the sight of congressional Republicans debasing themselves more and more on television, trying to pretend that his latest grudge is very serious and very important.
Ian Boudreau posted recently that if the media is asking what Trump thinks about something, they may as well ask malaria what it thinks about something. So that dude above is like “I was totally convinced that malaria had learned its lesson.”
