shoving someone's face directly in unfairness and telling them the rules they have built their lives around don't matter because you're in charge and they aren't triggers fury on the lizard brain level and it's a huge contributor to how autocracies fail

this is my response to like 99.9% of "LLMs can't write production-quality code" arguments. "production-quality code" is a mirage in virtually every workplace as far as I can tell. what works gets shipped.
If your engineering culture is such that changes can be merged that no one is accountable for, then you have way bigger problems than whether PRs are being generated using LLMs

Everyone talks about Vibe Coding, but I don't hear a lot about Vibe Debugging. My nightmare is that something burps out a mess of code and *no one is responsible for it*. If one of my people writes it... well they get to fix it. If no one writes it.......

Glad to see that donating MCP hasn’t stopped Anthropic from cooking up bigger and better security nightmares
In a strong push into the healthcare sector, enterprise AI giant Anthropic has launched a dedicated set of tools under Claude for medical queries, mimicking rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT Health that launched just days earlier.

I was already tentative about my Claude subscription, but they made the decision easy. What a dumb way to tank your goodwill with devs.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

The 3rd amendment failed to consider reverse quartering
And actually astonishing when you think about it: The Trump administration's top officials are choosing to separate themselves from the public—more to the point: separate themselves from any visible protest—and live on military bases.

Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.

I will take their VM + file system pointed at some text files any day over a black box marketplace run by OpenAI, especially when model-neutral AI platforms with skills support start crawling out of the woodwork.

Anthropic is building a PaaS. So far, it’s a PaaS for one user, I think. They've got isolated VM's/containers, they've thought out support languages for the major languages. simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/20/...

it's just weird how we phrase it as "remote doesn't work" despite all the evidence pointing otherwise, rather than an abject failure of management "i can only run teams if i can physically touch them" and "three hours of traffic and wearing headphones all day is peak productivity"

It’s weird that Apple’s translation app only offers Spain Spanish. The company based in a state with a huge Chicano population couldn’t even pick a dialect spoken on this side of the globe?
