The progression of job-destroying AI makes me SICK. I refuse to participate in it. Instead I'm going to take the virtuous path: continue destroying jobs as always, just a bit less efficiently, using non-AI technology. You're welcome.

And while I'm necromancing @gfixler's old tweets, time to share this gem again teapawt.org/gfixler/status/8207143…
"Can everyone read the code on the slide?" "Not really." <enlarges text> "Better?" "No, it's still Scala."

At Meta we strongly opposed using DNS for RPC service discovery/load balancing. I realised recently that was not universally agreed upon wisdom. The world evolved to rely heavily on DNS (*cough* k8s *cough*) and I think it’s a really bad idea. If you trust DNS for this job, you either have worked on small deployments, or you haven’t been bitten just yet. 🤷‍♂️

Since 2019 I’ve been in an expensive, stressful legal battle to protect Webcomic Name (my “oh no” comics). It’s a relief to finally talk about this publicly! I’m launching a crowdfunder to pay my remaining legal fees to end this. 1/8 gofund.me/7478032b

See, by programing in a high level language I ensure that my programs can't possibly be fast enough to have this happen to them.
