I only know him by reputation as a maker of software I like a lot (Ghostty) and don't (terraform).

github.com/mitchellh/vo... This is a sort-of-halfway model that might get traction. It is unfortunately because I have submitted some small OSS patches in my life to projects I use which would have never been accepted under this type of system, but the downside is so high now.

Eventually I assume this will settle into something with a more predictable cadence but right now it's extremely chaotic.

Instead we are effectively trying to do our normal work while trying to defend against generated code coming from above (tech leadership agentic fleets), below (previous non-coders stretching), and the side (colleague looking to follow "use it or else" guidance).

That does seem plausible. For us I think the primary beneficiaries are very senior people who are suddenly able to do massive rewrites across ~thousands of services to do things like enforce usage of a certain dependency over another. This isn't bad but the gains haven't flowed downhill so easily.

Fair enough. I have shared the Oxide RFD about LLM usage internally; it seems much more deeply considered than anything we are currently working with.

Now that the LLMs have fully established themselves at my workplace I'll say that Bruenig-level care and rigor is extremely rare when using the tools.

“No one goes away anymore” is a quietly underrated problem.

You should teach him about the Rupert property and the platonic solids: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH4M...

Truly a perfect partner for Slack, a Salesforce company.

This would require a realization that taxes are meant to provide services as opposed to a thing you can promise to cut.

It does really seem that the incredible internal tooling available _inside_ Google does so much that things that come out of Google always end up feeling like they are missing something or poorly considered.

It is wild how bad basically every external Google client library is in every programming language.

It's like a perfect mirror of the open government/sunlight foundation-style "promise of the internet" movement.

At what point is the hallucination large enough to supplant the previous reality?

Obviously this doesn't apply for all of the bullet points but I immediately though of short time control chess (3+0, 1+0).

All across this great nation dads are standing at the window with their hands on their hips going “it’s coming down real fast”
