Joined a banking AI roundtable with 25 Heads of AI from some of the world’s largest banks. Many oversee tens of thousands of Copilot seats. Only one had even heard of @steipete’s @OpenClaw.
I understand the regulatory constraints, but the disconnect between AI leadership and hands-on experimentation is larger than I expected.

Nobody knows where this is going, but I suspect AI usage costs will become part of a programmer’s personal toolkit—like buying books, hardware, or investing in education.
Out of 5,000 developers, maybe 500 will emerge dramatically more productive. Those people won’t just keep their jobs—they’ll redefine them, and they’ll be compensated accordingly.
We’re living through a difficult transition for our industry. Think of money spent on AI tokens as an investment in your future earning power.
Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly.

No, finite state machines are NOT equivalent to Turing machines. There's a whole hierarchy of what an automata can generate (just google Chomsky hierarchy). Any decent CS course will teach you about it, pick any book about automata theory, or even ask your favorite LLM.

429 is the new fat blue whale now, it’s everywhere!
I’m writing this while my OC is getting 429ed by dockerhub’s registry.

The question I’m wondering is: hot or cold lobster roll? 😂

If you’re into #hamradio and Morse code, I built a small tool called cwgen to help improve copying speed—might be useful to you too.
e.g.: cwgen --practice random-words -t 400 --wpm 20 --qrm 3

915 vs 279 contributions this year. If this keeps up, I’m getting outperformed… by my own agent.

Renewing a domain with Network Solutions is basically a test of how well you can dodge pop-up upsells. I miss the old Internic days.
