Oh dear you seem to have fallen down a thirty-foot well, are you alright?

I feel fine, it is how you feel when you turn 42. But don't worry, I have the ultimate answer now and I have to admit, It is a tad disappointing.

Github CEO making the realization 90% of developers already know. ML coding tools are wasting developer time and hampering development practices.

Pretty funny this after same CEO previously decided to rip off every Open Source maintainer on Github to make their AI đŸ€Ą

The #Windows11 #upgrade must be the first Windows upgrade in history that did not wipe my Boot sector on my dual-boot #Linux laptop and force me to install Grub again đŸ˜Č

And I had reserved the whole afternoon for tackling Linux booting issues...

I also really feel sorry for the M$ developers.

CEO is blasting AI on all channels while developers taking the brunt of it trying to fix the AI slop.

Unfortunately this is business as usual in most companies now.

@tivilehti

Luen tÀmÀn niin ettù Flyvbjerg ja hÀnen tiimi nÀköjÀÀn pÀÀtyy siihen ettÀ vesiputous malli oli sittenkin parempi kuin Agile kehitys. Ja nÀin tÀysin missaa pointin.

Suomen painotus konsulttimalliin on se ongelma mistÀ ei haluta puhua. Monien yritysten IT ja ohjelmistokehitys makaa tyystin ulkopuolisten konsulttiyritysten harteilla. Kun nÀin on niin yrityksellÀ ei vain ole kokemusta tai tuntua suunnitella projekteja.

Kun kaikki ulkoistetaan niin kustannukset nousee.

I want to highlight that today is the #InternationalBoysDay

All barometers show boys today are increasingly feeling worse. From a young age sociaty assumes they manage by themselves while girls get help. Even the UN charter does not recognize this day, while it does recognize a girls day.

Boys feel left out in education as it does not acknowledge how they learn. In many cases that leads to isolation and a bad start in life.

So I wish all boys you have a good time today wherever you are!

Worth mentioning that selfhosting this in public is prohibited by the software license and this is not open source.

Nothing wrong with not having an open source license so developers can make their living, but not mentioning about it is not cool.

A pretty cool blog post by Bill Gates about the early days of Microsoft written in animated ASCII.

But there is also a kicker; if you scroll to the bottom you'll find a Download link to download the original source code formatted in a 157 paged PDF đŸ«Ł

Se ettĂ€ suomalaisiin ei heti upo kaikki AI hype on kerrassaan HYVÄ JUTTU, se kertoo kyvystĂ€ itse arvioida miten kĂ€ytettĂ€viĂ€ nĂ€mĂ€ chattibotit oikeasti ovat. Toista voisi sanoa Tivi toimituksesta....

Today both in #Finland and in #Spain we celebrate workers day by not working and instead merrymaking the whole day.

For me it marks the start of start of summer! đŸ„ł
