Bullshit. No-code platforms produce deterministic output based on the input. LLMs don't. Besides, why don't you ask a C++ compiler writer why it's important to have reproducible builds, if 'assembly isn't important'...

I’ve seen many engineers dunking on this position but I think it’s reasonable. Vibe coding is essentially replacing “no code” platforms and arguably the recent sale of Airtable is an indication of how that segment is compressing. Those users have no need for source code, it’s simply unnecessary.

Just learned that there's something like 'Harness Engineering' and no it's got nothing to do with engineering a good harness for carrying something. JFC can this LLM bullshit stop already; all that nonsense's got nothing to do with engineering but more with herding cats.

The IMF says we pay $5T/year to subsidize fossil fuels — that's $13M per MINUTE to destroy our future. Meanwhile solar & wind fight for scraps. We don't have a funding problem. We have a priority problem.

It may be surprising to some that there are thousands of undescribed species just sitting in museums awaiting description. One of the main reasons this problem exists is that taxonomy is undervalued and underfunded, a trend that coincides with the devaluing of studies on natural history.

Spotted on the Fullcast reddit. This is incredible levels of divorced:

we should charge the C-suite with fraud and theft if they take a tax credit meant to keep people employed and then cut staff anyway.

Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.

I'm so fed up with spotify feeding me AI generated slop as if it's music created by real people. So, here's a thread with music made by real people, on real instruments. 1/7 Delain - The Quest and The Curse Diana Leah is a great replacement for Charlotte Wessels www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKmV...

Gold of Rivendell One of my fav location in the French Alps here captured at the peak of the foliage during a moody afternoon. #nature #naturephotography #bluesky #foliage #alps #landscapephotography #rivendell #lotr

These stone formations were photographed along the coast of Northern Norway this summer. Layers shaped by time, water, and movement — a truly fascinating and rewarding place to explore with a camera. #nature

If you still work at Meta after all the crap they've unleashed onto humanity, I can't see you as a good person.

Gergely Orosz@gergely.pragmaticengineer.com · last wk.

Meta's performance review culture is becoming very problematic for its engineering culture. I said this a month ago in @pragmaticengineer.com (screenshot #1), and Semi Analysis said the same last week (screenshot #2). Engineers at Meta are world-class at optimizing for PSC...

Added preliminary support for Halo Campaign Evolved to the UUU (see v5.8.19). Pause doesn't work 100%, they altered the engine there pretty drastically in an odd way, as if they're using their own animation system.

The xbox app is still puzzling for over half an hour now (!) whether to provide a button to upgrade for 20 euros. The MS Store app meanwhile figured it out in 1 second. Biggest software company in the world, but can't figure out how to build an app for their gaming business that doesn't suck.

How do *we* tackle that risk? It's not a forest fire, it's the brainchild of a billionaire pervert, just burn Meta to the ground and ask questions later.

Meta’s smartglasses mean any child can be covertly filmed. In the age of AI, how do we tackle that risk?
