I stole this and editied it (was BaSh before), but I love it and it's true! However that may have more to do with my work not spending money and expecting me to script stuff rather than buy a product. I treat it as a big techincal exercise! It works in my favour. #PowerShell

Furry supervisor today for gardening #Caturday

I think AI coding hype follows roughly four stages: 1. Amazement You try it and can’t believe how much code it generates from a few prompts. 2. Expansion You start more and more projects because shipping suddenly feels cheap and fast. This is also the phase where people start convincing everyone around them: - coworkers - management - friends in other companies because nobody wants to “fall behind” in 6–12 months. That creates a massive snowball/FOMO effect. 3. The grind phase You realize the generated code has architectural issues, sloppy mistakes, weird abstractions, duplicated logic, broken edge cases, etc. So you start: - re-prompting - switching models - increasing reasoning effort - reviewing fixes - generating fixes for previous fixes And suddenly you spend your days reviewing AI-generated pull requests instead of building software. 4. Realization You realize AI coding increases output much faster than it increases certainty. The code still needs: - review - testing - ownership - architectural understanding - long-term maintenance Usually by expensive senior engineers. And the interesting thing is: this whole cycle can take many months or even more than a year because people become socially and professionally invested in the narrative themselves. Once teams, managers, and entire companies have been convinced that this is the future, it becomes psychologically and politically very hard to later say: “Actually, the ROI is much lower than we expected.”

The ultimate Pomodoro timer doesn't ring, it drops a black hole into your IDE! A Ukrainian developer made a terminal shader that grows the longer you work, lensing your code until it's totally unreadable. The only fix? Step away and it shrinks :)

Beautiful in summer but in winter you are praying the car doesn't break down...

A good old stretch!!

I remember being told that about working in IT when starting my CS degree back in 2000!!

AI generated ads with a Nigel Farage / Bank of England theme have flooded UK timelines today. Nigel has upset someone. They're harnessing mostly long time dormant hijacked accts peddling a rhetoric in unison. The Bank of England has felt a need to release a mini statement.

Okay. Okay. Okay. We'll stop with the teasers. And see you tonight 👀

I can confirm this.

My PowerShell Security and “Pwsh with Buttons” talks are both completed and they went well #PSConfEU is always something special. If you are here, please come say hi! I've loved getting to meet so many new friends. If you aren't here, who do you want me to interview for the #PowerShell Podcast??

There Is a Light That Never Goes Out

It's the last day of #PSConfEU and this week has been incredibly special. I have so many stories and memories that I want to share, but those will come (including an explanation of that meme) soon enough I've had such a great time meeting new friends, today's your last chance to come say hi! #PowerShell
