New article going round about #ai copilots and #llms #llm being found not useful.

When’s the last time you trusted a study on real world software teams productivity? Would you trust a study that says “agile found to have not productivity improvements”? When there are about 800x ways you can do “agile” and 2000 ways to measure “productivity”.

I encourage people to look at people who have the results to show they are credible and check out how they use ai tools (looking at @simon).

Looks like I bought two tickets to #strangeloop.

Happy to sell it, if you can’t afford the normal price, contact me and we can work something out!

Feel free to boost for reach.

The snark at #php in US-developer circles never ceases to amaze me.

It’s like people somehow remember their php3 experiments when they were 12 or something and feel the need to show that they are somehow above that.

Nah dude not only is php a decent programming language, but it’s also a language that allows you to have a working site whatever your experience level, which is why 12 year olds have loved it throughout the ages, and that’s fucking amazing in its own right.

One thing consistently blows my mind:

I carry little devices (phone, tablet, laptop) that give me access to a significant portion of the world's knowledge, give me the tools to express myself in all the forms I enjoy (code, music, drawing, writing) and allow me to correspond with interesting people all around the globe.

That's it. Absolutely wild.
