My latest column for @locusmag is "What Kind of Bubble is AI?" All economic bubbles are hugely destructive, but some of them leave behind wreckage that can be salvaged for useful purposes, while others leave nothing behind but ashes: locusmag.com/2023/12/commen… 1/

ChatGPT getting lazier and telling people to read the docs instead of answering questions like before - and the team not having pinned down what’s happening - is such an amusing chapter in AI tooling.

For the ninth(!) year in a row, I will be releasing 25 programming puzzles over the first 25 days of December over on adventofcode.com! It's completely free thanks to AoC++ supporters and thanks to sponsors. If you want to check it out early, all past puzzles are still up!
It's really not very helpful when @johnlewishelp: - don't tell you your dishwasher won't be arriving (even an hour before its due) - can't tell you why even when you ask - can't tell you what is going to happen next - give you no way to contact the "resolution" team yourself

Calling all developers who write unit tests! Please would you help my PhD student Firhard Roslan by filling out his questionnaire on developer attitudes to testing private methods? It should take 10-20 mins to complete. Thanks! forms.gle/6JQYcstAsCm9Qr…

1960s: "COBOL will let non-programmers make the software!" 1980s: "4GLs will let non-programmers make the software!" 2000s: "UML will let non-programmers make the software!" 2020s: "AI will let non-programmers make the software!"
"What if they see it's unfinished" "What if they point out a problem" "What if they see a bug" "What if they question why we've done it that way" That's the point... get feedback, and get it now rather than later. So hard to see when the situation makes this hard to do.
