AI-assisted development is now the norm - 78% of survey respondents currently use AI in software development or plan to in the next two years, up from 64% in 2023. That's strange, measuring developer productivity has always been so easy in the past

My internal metric is always "Plaid." Not that hard to measure.

New paper counts "excess words" that started appearing more often in the post-LLM era. Death to meatbags?

In modern software development, immutability is a powerful concept. "I can't change, I can't change. But I'm here in my mold."

After recent updates, Microsoft Photos on Windows 11 takes longer to launch, but Microsoft has a solution. Latest from the rocket surgeons

Microsoft: I have a few ideas for you. Send me money, and we'll get right on them! We'll make things faster!

Great, one more thing to slow down Windows startup.

But, I was assured that open software solved security problems (that didn't exist on Linux anyway.)

In a survey conducted earlier this month of firms using AI since early 2022 in the Richmond, Virginia region, 45 per cent said they were automating tasks to reduce staffing and labour costs. Try not to be shocked

Not all, but many will end having big problems and let see if they survive the next 5 years.

1790: so what this new machine going to do?
I will allow 1 person to make fabric as fast as 10 people
oh, what will the other 9 people do?
I don't know, but I will pay you 1.2% more
1980s: what do you mean we don't need the lino type machines any more.
Oh we also only need like 1 out of 5 people to do this new machine and get even more newspapers made

In recent times, open-source developers have been met with an uptick in receiving debatable or, in some cases, outright bogus CVE reports filed for their projects without confirmation. Are read-only bugs still bugs?
Posted not so much for this particular incident, but how it seems to be an example of a new attack on projects: file a security report on them. Like swatting, but for code.

If they can't hack it, better "take it down" by all necessary means, so that people download another one that got hacked

Russian hackers who broke into Microsoft's systems and spied on staff inboxes earlier this year also stole emails from its customers, the tech giant said on Thursday, around six months after it first disclosed the intrusion. That's Microsoft's job

They must have used Linux, otherwise MS would have immediately known about them.
