The definition of "product engineer" is something to look out for, can highly recommend everything @posthog.com has been writing about that

I think one of the reasons I'm, if not sanguine, at least not feeling like ~all this is so much of a novel crisis, is that "somebody could accidentally or maliciously completely fuck the internet to hell with very little effort" has been the baseline state of things since let's say the late '80s
Here's what I actually think these incidents reveal (instead of a rogue AI terminator situation):
Much of the infra we expect to be hardened is actually being held together by glue and popsicle sticks.

With all these ai agents breaking out of their sandbox and finding means to communicate via makeshift message boards, has anyone thought about giving them a message board from the beginning?
...and then actively sabotaging it 🤡

This is one of the biggest problems I see with contributions to Vikunja right now.
People are submitting well-intended huge PRs that don't meet my quality standard, I kinda want to say no to most of it but it is hard.

Hermes, gas town, whatever. If the community is a bunch of people doing everything imaginable, then their agents are going to be pushing the design in all directions simultaneously. This is just poor design! You have to be able to say no to things.

It’s very clear by now that if LLMs are not improving your software quality it’s either a revealed preference (yours or your org’s) for more volume vs more quality, or a skill issue.
The level of testing and review they are enabling in the Go cryptography standard library is amazing.

I really love this meme so much; at first glance, it reads as a joke about AI development being terrible, then it becomes a sincere, non-dismissive depiction of the workflow, but the ultimate realization is that all three processes eventually get you to the same goal. (Except Waterfall still sucks.)

I am wondering if I should add something like this to Vikunja, to counter the wave of vibe coded PRs that people are throwing around.
A few of them seem to run their forks anyway already, and some of the features proposed will never make it into Vikunja.

TIL claude still adds web session links even if you disabled attribution in commits and apparently it does so via model generation which lets it include typos in its own links?

One of the more underrated things I build around Vikunja is the release script that I use to publish posts like these. Publishing the release post is one of the things I like least on any Vikunja release and this little script makes it a little easier.

This has to be the most German thing. A bunch of universities and other players built a fully open-source, fully reproducible 32B LLM from scratch but you need to register to use it?
That's an interesting choice for an open-source model.
