Software Engineer. AI won't take your job. Panic responsibly.
“Temperature record” sounds like an achievement. Next time I’ll say “Wasted time record” to describe my weekend.

The companies that are loudly replacing their workers with AI are not actually more productive, it just sounds better to investors than "We overhired".

In 2025, more than half of all traffic was made by bots. That number keeps increasing.

I set up a self hosted sync plugin for my Obsidian. Took me like 20 minutes, including a stupid mistake in the nginx config. I should have done this way earlier.

No, 37 degrees Celsius is not “great summer weather”.

I remember the “Everyone get onto the SpaceX IPO” slop just two weeks ago very well. Been awfully quiet since then.

There are zero data centers being built close to where billionaires live.
Data centers are harming every environment they are placed in.

That feeling when you see an uptick in traffic for a side project, check the details and it’s just some botnet trying to get into your database…

The hotel I am staying in had all the pool chairs reserved by guests in the early morning, so they made an announcement that they will start to remove any unoccupied towels.
Now I see tons of grumpy tourists sitting on their towels to protect them 😂

A few years ago I read the entirety of Harry Potter to my fiancé because she had a very stressful period in her life and had trouble falling asleep. Since then I have retired and am now being replaced by audio books 😂

Many things that I have enabled notifications for in BlueSky do not actually produce notifications… Weird!

Over the course of the last year I have switched all my hardware to Apple and I don’t regret it one second. Really grew out of Windows/Android.

I really forgot how much I like long form content. It feels very good to take a break from all the short form attention seeking things around us and spend time with an actual book.
June 16, 2026 at 7:26 PM
Me and two friends just started a book club and I feel very excited about that!
June 16, 2026 at 6:41 PM
I am finally reading a book again that I just can’t put down. Felt like I lost the ability to do that, but it was always there. Reading Red Rising.

The amount of time one spends waiting for AI to finish really forces one to skip between different contexts and I feel exhausted by that. I’m always having five different things going on at once…

This blew my mind.

Some of the largest data centers can require up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the water use of 50,000 people.

Why are we selling out the survival of our planet to enrich a handful of Big Tech CEOs?

People don't want AI forced on them. DuckDuckGo lets you choose.

The result? Since Google's AI overhaul, our U.S. installs peaked yesterday at 76% above the pre-announcement average, and we broke our single-day search record. 🔥

It's not a blip, it's a movement. Fire Google.

Have you ever wondered how much environmental impact your AI usage has?

I wrote a Claude Code plugin that shows you the stats in real time: github.com/konlanx/clau...

It's either "I hate AI with everything I have" or "Let's invest absolutely everything in AI", there is no middleground whatsoever.
