Finally, someone said it. 20+ years in software and my productivity and velocity is wild right now.

People put a lot of faith in human “guardrails”, standards, etc. But the same argument could be made that trusting human experts without discernment is as dangerous as trusting AI …

The mindset must be that if you use AI (which I happen to advocate for) you are also responsible for the output, if you use the output publicly. AI is obviously very powerful if us…

But perhaps we should regard it as a major achievement.

God bless you for referencing that film.

Why do you believe it will fail? Because some companies will not be profitable?

How is that different than human reasoning?

They will, but much much much slower.

Many great authors are deeply flawed people. Tolstoy was not a good person, and Steinbeck was a complete a-hole. The list is long. But the classics they create are no less classic.…

Agreed. I will say, however, I’m a developer on a team that is a good sized (not small) publishing/media company that is built on WordPress multisite. performance is quite good, as…

Just tell me if I need to buy one?

You’re definitely a developer! It’s good to be curious. Sometimes you have to rein it in but it’s better to be interested in stuff than not to be. I’m a average to below average de…

I look at this in terms of the sport of distance running. I was a fairly accomplished runner, but I could only see who was a better runner - not those who were not. It's a matter o…
