Modern programming culture feels like it’s lost a lot of the “different tool for a different job” approach. Language committees seem to think every language should have every feature, every app should support every use case. This loss of specificity is causing problems.

"tj y r u making a lang??" 1. It's fun. It makes me happy. I love programming. 2. Less than 0.0001% of the code that will ever be written has been written. Don't let your dreams be dreams

The new AI web design giveaway is tasteless use of serif fonts plus italics. I mean, there's about 1000 other giveaways cause its all so very ugly, but that's the initial slap in your face giveaway.

Let go, let God be in control

why are people obsessed with retiring early? I get the "financial independence" part of FIRE but "retire early" is so dumb

People of pi.dev. I have emerged from the refactoring mines to bring you a new release. pi-ai now supports the first iteration of an image gen API. pi-agent-core has the WIP new SDK in it, not fit for use, but check the sources if you want to tag along the madness. pi-coding-agent will eventually be switched over, old SDK will be gone. migration guide will allow your agent to ... migrate old SDK -> new SDK easily. The refactoring will continue (on main) until moral improves.

I want to modernize nothing. I want to improve things.

At this point, this is just irresponsible. Yes, coding agents are leading to an increase of software production, but we are not seeing a similar push or increase in software quality. If Anthropic focuses on safety and it believes software engineering is going away, then it needs to be doing much more to improve how we design, build, test, and maintain software (aka software engineering). Increasing the production of unreliable, poorly designed, and unverified software directly undermines safety. Claude Code is claimed to be "fully written by AI". In the last two months, it took three separate postmortem-worthy failures and user complaints to surface what their own testing missed. Yesterday users were being over billed by hundreds of dollars. Software engineering isn't ready to go away and there is not enough progress to argue that case. I am certain Anthropic would argue that AI progress in other domains is strongly dependent on having proper safeguards in place. I can't wrap my head around the cognitive dissonance when it comes to software. PS: Mythos (may) improve software security, but that is only a subset of safety.

Happy Easter! He is risen!

Using advanced tools is much like outsourcing. You can outsource your factories to China. You design the product, China builds it. Until they decide to also design, and then you have a competitor on your hands. There is nothing wrong with outsourcing. I don't have my own cows. I don't harvest my own wood. But you need to keep some skills. That's why I learned to make my own furniture. I know how to cook. I know how to look at the assembly code produced by my compiler. True: you can often make more money by outsourcing more of your work and knowledge to others. But I don't make my own furniture or my own dinner to get rich financially. I believe that skills are a form of wealth. Agency and abilities matter and that's why we are willing to pay large sums to acquire new skills.

I invite all the faithful to take part in a day of fasting and prayer on August 22, imploring the Lord to grant us peace and justice, and to wipe away the tears of those who suffer because of ongoing armed conflicts. May Mary, Queen of Peace, intercede so that peoples may find the path of peace.
