Someone on that bird app, lording the benefits of developing with ai has just discovered TDD. Talking about TDD like it's a new discovery. Someone even asked what TDD stood for? Lol 2025 is going to be wild. Happy NY BTW

This is the sound of a 15yo being amazed. It is not easy to amaze a 15yo. Her first attempt at using her foldscope.com, a small flat cardboard microscope that fits in her back pocket. I'm amazed too. Big thanks to @prakashlab.bsky.social for inventing this wonderful thing 😍 #ThriftyScience

I worked with a guy who learned how to code, then quickly started using AI to do all of his coding work (like 100% of it down to traceback following and error fixing) that when tasked with doing something manually he physically couldn't.

Are we witnessing the decline of human cognitive skills in real time? Soon we won't be able to spell, write original thoughts, code without AI assistance, do mental arithmetic...even use an analogue clock AI is causing brain atrophy
