Ladrones Esa misma canción me da vueltas y vueltas en la cabeza otra vez. La canción transmite esa sensación de soledad, algo que pega fuerte con la música de fondo adecuada. ¡Una canción sólida, introspectiva y todo eso! https://youtu.be/3LFWkNrFcy8?si=nG1kifCD_n8TuHgl

I'm not sure about everybody else. But having an "AI Bot" that attempts to sound human - EVEN WHEN SELF-IDENTIFYING AS AN AI - is the absolute worst red flag you can put forward when attempting to recruit me or follow up with me about anything. Just don't have robots call me. Any other method of communication is a better first impression.

Gotta admit something. I just kind of got a non-stop low key chuckle at how much teams are integrating Gen AI but then they're just doing the same maddening workflows and pull requests and just trying to do "parts" of it faster. It's so wildly error prone, nobody can really manage what is being done, it's just a wild west clusterfuck of code getting shoved into repos. Some people also chuckle and keep saying eventually that's going to cause a boom for people fixing it. It isn't going to get fixed though, it'll eventually just get thrown away. Nobody is going to comb throw the pixels with a comb and fix that trash. The other wild truth is, it isn't really the Gen AI writing "bad code". It's engineers, and specifically leadership, pushing absurd demands onto Gen AI without any threshold for quality or thinking through how to apply quality to the product under development. This rests on the lack of discipline of leadership - NOT on engineers - they're largely just being forced into absurd situations and thus shoving garbage in and getting garbage out because of this. All of it, on so many levels is maddening but hilarious insane. Anyway, with that said, back to the mines.

Do you use transit in the Seattle metro area? Tacoma, Everett, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Bainbridge, Bremerton, Anacortes, etc... Link/Sounder/ST Express, Pierce Transit, Community Transit, King County Metro, Kitsap Transit, washington state ferries, whatever your daily combo looks like. What do you think of this site? What would you want added to it (cuz I'm wanting to add things to it) — real-time arrivals, better route/transfer info, service alerts, something else entirely? Lay it on me. https://www.dashingarrivals.com/

Do you use .NET? Do you have .NET Framework projects of yesteryear that you're still working on? Do you still have VB.NET or VB6 or even COBOL.NET projects? What older, possibly ripe for migration, Microsoft stack developed solutions do you have? Would you mind taking ~2-5 minutes to tell me about it? Bonus points if you're in the Seattle or Portland area, secondary bonus points if you're in San Francisco, San Jose or - ya know - the "Bay" area. Special bonus point if you're in Spokane. Hit me up, let's discuss. Happy to get ya coffee, beer, or whatever beverage of choice you'd like! 🍻

When the laggards and luddites don't realize they're the laggards and luddites, and the minds of those laggards and luddites aren't open enough to even learn that they are, what is the path forward with the likes of that resistance? You see it everywhere: the team that still insists on manual spreadsheets while the rest of the industry automates, the exec who dismisses new tools as "just a fad" for the third cycle running, the colleague who confuses skepticism with wisdom and calls it principle. They're not malicious, just blind to their own blind spot, and that's the harder problem to solve. You can't out-argue someone who thinks the debate is already settled in their favor. So do you wait for the market to force their hand, do you route around them and build without their buy-in, or do you keep trying to open a door that was never unlocked from the inside?
