Note between us pals: I have reached out to the president's office at Ohio State, Illinois and Wisconsin, and plan to reach out to a few other B1G schools, asking for comment (or a conversation) about why their school appears to support the Big Ten private capital proposal. I'll blog if I get info

Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up
78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

Had an interesting ask from a potential client today: can we extract business requirements/stories from legacy source code, limited docs, and running systems — to aid in rewriting the web apps into a new more modern stack? Interesting use case. Any LLM tailored tools out there?
