@macdonst well there's always a handy solution for too-big-to-fail companies: nationalize them.

This proves, yet again, that the only people stupider than these dumbfuck techbros are the idiots investing in these brain-dead schemes. It must be an investment grift, right?

AI is making us write more code. That's the problem.

I analyzed research papers on AI-generated code quality. The findings:

→ 1.7x more issues than human-written code
→ 30-41% increase in technical debt
→ 39% increase in cognitive complexity
→ Initial speed gains disappear within a few months

We're building the wrong thing faster and calling it productivity.

Oof the latest Laracasts Snippet podcast from Jeffery Way is the most depressing thing. Hearing him open by talking about all the staff he had to lay off... then gush about the #AI #coding agents being his 'buddy' that pumps out code so fast & he spends his time sanity checking it... is so heartbreaking.

@denniskoch oh wow I totally forgot about Fleet. I never switched from PHPStorm, but I do wish they made it free for non-commercial use, like they did with WebStorm.

LOOOOOOOOOOL

It's wild how much more relaxed I am when I work in backend only.

Frontend stuff is so fucked up sometimes these days, that it got really stressful every now and then.

I miss the time where we just had HTML, JS and CSS files, no build steps and everything just was great.

Remember how yesterday I optimized my #php replay command to process 14k events per second instead of 30?

Yeah well… someone made a suggestion which bumped that number to 50k events per second.

Just checking in on my investment portfolio, because apparently computers are appreciating assets now.

We're excited to introduce https://phpc.tv, a community-run video platform by PHP developers, for PHP developers.

No ads, no algorithmic feed manipulation, no "see less often". It's also entirely non-profit and community-focused.

Over 400 PHP-related videos are already available, with more being added. If you create PHP content or know someone who does, we'd love to have your videos in the catalog!

Congrats to @afilina for the launch of phpc.tv — a PeerTube instance dedicated to videos about #PHP.

The longer I do this for, the more I'm convinced that the mark of a SENIOR developer is how obsessively they document things because they just can't fathom having to remember the who, what, where, why, when, how of things over and OVER. Because eventually all projects start to blur together and my god this work has a shit ton of *details*.

LMAO at what's looming in the future for all the "vibe coders". 😵‍💫

As hyped as Claude Code + Obsidian is, I have no desire to upload my personal unencrypted vault data to Anthropic or anyone else.

I hope that the ideas of private inference and confidential computing that Moxie described take off. It's how all LLMs should work.

@remi Sometimes it's like herding cats 😅 For the latest outing, I had to make a spreadsheet to track everyone's availability over 10 days. Of those 10, only 1 day aligned with everybody, but that's good enough for me.

@remi I feel like I'm the glue that keeps a particular group of (male) friends together. We're all middle-aged with various life problems, but I do my best to herd them out for drinks every few months. Then, I keep individual friends outside of this group on heavy rotation. It's hard to make new friends at this age, but I've successfully done that, and it feels great.

Free speech is when you let people say controversial things.

Free speech is not when the world’s richest man builds a CSAM generator, hooks it up to the world’s largest public photo database, and gives 4chan a subscription service.

I’ve written thousands of words defending people’s right to be wrong on the internet.

I don’t need thousands of words for this. I have eight: what the fuck is wrong with these assholes.

A lot of the discourse about #Tailwind has been "How did they even expect to scale anyway?"

l know our industry doesn't understand this, but not everything has to "scale". Keeping a small team comfortably employed, working on something they enjoy with people they like _is_ a success story.

A business isn't a failure if it isn't growing.

Whenever I come across an article that looks promising, but the hero image is AI-generated, I immediately lose trust in the content and the author.

If the author doesn't bother to select a real image (Unsplash is probably faster and therefore cheaper than every AI image you'll generate) for this post, can I trust he bothered to actually write and research it?

If you can't find an image that fits your post, there's an easy solution: Don't put an image above your post. It's really that easy.
