    Reviewing large AI PRs is the worst. I think being verbose is a good thing through function and variable naming, and comments for head scratching bits of cose, but AI can take it to an extreme degree with comments everywhere. Reading and critequing/discussing code and patterns used to be one of my favorite parts of the job.

    My coworker who’s fully in bed with AI barely understood the code he wrote before, but asking him a question now is just an indirect means of using Claude. It has gotten to the point where I’m writing my PR comments more in the style of a prompt because it’s obvious he just pastes them in to Claude anyway.




  • INAL and even further away from am American one, but I shall inboke the law of Cunningham . Having the company recognising or just generally being okay with the union formation makes the whole process easier. No hiding your unionisation activities and such. I believe the role of the union-buster is to dissuade the employees from signing up to it, see if there’s any dirt on union leaders to have then fired, and to just generally be a royal pain in the arse for everyone.

    If I got the story right a bunch of Blizzard developers got fired because they shared company secrets/IP in the same discord server they discussed their unionisation work, so Blizzard’s lawyers found an easy way to get rid of them.
















  • Like, sometimes these things would be quite useful for me. I’m someone who goes into fight or flight (often fight) when I receive a leas than positive email at work. Having something smart enough to interrupt me before I do something hasty and tell me to puss off for a couple of minutes first would be really useful. But a system like that can’t ever live I’m the hands of someone I don’t trust.

    It’s like immich. The idea of having an AI go through all your images and labeling them is something I usually balled at with google or meta, but when it’s all local on my machine and I can turn it on or off at will makes all the difference.
