Two snaps from a boxing match. First frame is cool person taking aim, the text "Microsoft copilot"superimposed. Second picture is the other guy looking sad and scared, work superimposed b text "me, literally just enjoying creating stuff". I think the scared person is named Paul or something, and it is my impression that he is a bad person. I may be wrong. It is two am and I am a bit drunk.

I don't know which of these I've done/heard more often:
- Talked about how CI / CD is man in the middle attacks as a service
- Told companies that "allow all actions" on their internal GitHub Enterprise is a bad idea
- Argued that GitHub, security wise, is somewhat of a corporate nightmare..

To be fair, the crunch-panic-keep-going method is basically how I write PowerShell.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

It is finally official! Internal Decay (my band) signed with the mighty Hammerheart records, home of more than one hero! Release of our first new music in 30(!) years in February, limited edition vinyl of course.
Keep an eye out.

I can't think of a single other time that an ostensible engineering productivity tool has needed to be forced into adoption like this so widely across the industry. It's like if everybody were mandating Git or Kubernetes uptake as part of performance reviews.
alexhanna.bsky.social Alex Hanna @alexhanna.bsky.social · Oct 30
It seems like the only way tech companies are able to compel AI usage is by coercion in performance review processes?

(via The Information "AI Agenda" newsletter)
3. AI adoption is easier said than done. Even as executives pressure workers to use AI, getting people to do that throughout an organization is easier said than done. Rukmini Reddy, an engineering executive at incident management software maker PagerDuty, does so by making AI usage a part of her employees’ annual performance reviews. This strategy seems to be working, as she said that 98% of her engineers use coding tools like Anthropic’s Claude Code or Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot on a day-to-day basis now.

#PTMF. You should be able to Push To Main on Fridays.
hazelweakly.me Hazel Weakly @hazelweakly.me · Oct 21
This is the same sort of energy as the continually misunderstood “deploy/don’t deploy on Friday” argument.

The point, to me, is that
1. You should be *able* to deploy
2. You automated it, so it’s low risk
3. You’re human about it and CHOOSE to not deploy on fridays, holidays, or before vacation
