Would be neat if more continued the tradition in FOSS that creators of projects names the projects after themselves, like Debian or Git.

I get the reference to deb and ian (two people), but not git ?

For those not in the know

"I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git." - Linus Torvalds

Git

noun - derogatory

An unpleasant or contemptible person (typically used of a man).

Linus famously named git after himself.

There’s a good reason common advice is to not time the market

Kinda reads like the Dropbox launch thread

I don’t think they can hear you over the billions of dollars they are generating, and definitely not over them redefining what SWE means.

And they can't hear you from under the enormous pile of debt they're fighting to overcome. Maybe try again in 2028.

you mean the $5 billion they've generated off of the $73 billion they've raised?

> redefining what SWE means

Redefining the "SW" to stand for "slopware"?

I think pi has stolen the top honors, but people consider the Claude code harness very good (at least, better than Cursor)

Pi is the best choice for experts and power users, which is not most people.

Claude Code is still the dominant (I didn't say best) agentic harness by a wide margin I think.

Pi really is amazing. It's as much or as little as you need it to be.

Not having to deal with Boris Cherny's UX choices for CC is the cherry on top.

Smedley Butler - War is a Racket. Good quick read.

It is. But usually there's at least a fig leaf of an excuse. Nobody can even say what it is we're doing, much less why.

If having a fig leaf of an excuse really better? Its not like the acts or methods being now clearly observed now are anything new. Its just they aren't disguised

It's falling that people support this without even pretending that it's about something other than their hatred for you.

In the past we had to pretend to be civil, and that illusion let us get back to work between elections. The utter disregard for the law forces us to grapple with the fact that they have so little respect for us that they will not care if there isn't another election.

Stryker. FWIW a friend in ER medicine said it had very very limited effect.

That’s right thanks. The same Hacker group as this story. Yeah I didn’t hear much after the initial breach so I assumed it was minor.

Edit: apparently 80000 employee workstations got remotely wiped. So not so I guess I wouldn’t call that minor.

Also that’s what I get for commenting before reading the story, they mention the Styker incident in the story lol

What’s wrong with that? The agent session had all the business context, knows what changed, and how we verified it. It takes 5s to turn that into a PR desc vs 10-100x that by hand

Because it's not perfect and it still fabricates things from time to time.

I have coworkers who do this and it sucks to be on the receiving end of. It means I now need to read every commit message with skepticism.

It's an example of using AI to save energy for yourself while simultaneously increasing the energy expenditure of your coworkers.

100 x 5s is nearly 10 minutes. If it takes 10 minutes to write a PR there may be a "skill issue". The bottom end of this 1-2 minutes makes more sense.

How much productivity do we really need? Even at senior dev payscale 2 minutes is like a dollar. The tokens and calls involved in having a 5s commit could close in on 10¢, depending on your contract, the model etc. and that's today's costs. Do remember that my salary is on top of the rates for the LLM, so if the 5s response takes 5s for me to prompt, that's 15s (10 for me 5 for the LLM) that the boss is paying for.

This starts to feel like a billionaire eating ramen noodles just so he can reach his second billion dollars.

Where I work our contract limits API calls, so doing this could result in not being able to use the model when I need it later for something more sophisticated (planning, debugging etc.) than using tooling I'm paid to already know.

Im not even talking about the description but “commit this to git with the description x” type prompts

I like my Rongta POS Printer, under $100

Hey wait a minute.. that guy’s not the wallet inspector!
