🗞️ Dear Student: Yes, AI is here, you're screwed unless you take action... ghuntley.com/screwed/

how does our profession even interview now? attached is video of cheating tool which was used to secure a SDE1 intern role ($272,000 AUD a year) at AWS

Well I wrote a lot about how I code with LLMs these days and a small slice of where I think this shit is all heading www.phillipcarter.dev/posts/coding...

Wanna hear something spooky? Within the next six months a new profession within SWE will appear. The AI Master. Like SCRUM MASTER but for AI - “teaching teams how to do AI”

📰 I had my AI "oh f***" moment and I'm a student, now what? ghuntley.com/im-a-student/ What follows is an email that arrived in my inbox moments ago, reproduced in it's entirety. I'll be doing a response letter, after I get some sleep.

📰 You are using @cursor_ai incorrectly... ghuntley.com/stdlib/ Dad, it's like you are teaching it how to build and ride a bike. First you are describing what pedals are, what their purpose is and how to install them onto a bike…

🗞️ What do I mean by some software devs are "ngmi"? ghuntley.com/ngmi/ I suspect there's not going to be mass-layoffs for software developers at Companies due to AI, instead there what we will see is a natural attrition between those who invest in themselves right now and those who do not.

📰 The future belongs to idea guys who can just do things ghuntley.com/dothings/ Ya know that old saying ideas are cheap and execution is everything? Well it's being flipped on it's head by AI. Execution is cheap and ideas are now expensive.

we are in a strange new wold with these LLMs. when someone figures out an 'edge' do co-workers in corporate share it freely or to they keep it to themselves. people will game systems for "impact" (ie. perf reviews). i suspect software development will become like sales.

I can’t see a place where people doing artisanal commits by hand within 24 months. Perhaps even sooner.

@anais.dev heh :)

What if code review tools are the new IDE? Like, imagine waking up to X diffs, you sit there and critique the CLs. Your feedback triggers the autonomous developer. In other news, I’ve setup gerrit in my homelab and have been playing.

🗯️ What if instead of being shackled to design inherited from Turbo Pascal in 1983 - centered around humans we had a fresh take - IDE's that are designed around software assistants first, humans second. ghuntley.com/multi-boxing/

🗞️ An "oh fuck" moment in time ghuntley.com/oh-fuck/ > Engineering organizations are right now are split between those who have had that "oh fuck" moment and are leaning into software assistants and those who have not.

the more I play around with Claude (ie itself, sourcegraph, cursor) the more have been pondering to the future.. what matters now is distribution and creativity (in thought) npcs without distribution are going to be in for a real hard time in the future.

when are we gonna get a new, modern, version of gerrit/phabricator? Hmmm.

cursed Christmas coding idea: a compiler that deletes lines of code that fail to compile. Each time you compile it deletes whatever references it. It keeps going until the application “runs” aka compiles without errors.

Test

don’t routinely head into the office but when I do, it’s normally cause the food menu is goooood….

In April, I sold my first business. Even though I'd done a lot of research about small business acquisitions, so much of the process felt like uncharted territory that nobody discusses publicly. I wrote about everything I wish I'd known before selling my business.

Ok so who all is here from elsewhere and who should I follow?

It's possible to bruteforce did:plc's with only 2 sha256 ops in the inner loop. The search space is only 120-bit, so you can find collisions in ~2^60 iterations (due to birthday paradox). This is definitely feasible. (for reference the Bitcoin network performs 2^60 sha256 ops every few milliseconds)

comms now completely run off 12v - starlink - dual 4g router (rutx14) - unifi u6 lr ap - telstra cellfi 4g booster
