@Tom I'd say "inexperienced prompters" instead, as they might be good coders but prompting an AI to produce decent code is a very different knowledge domain that they may have not yet mastered, if that is ever possible. One change to the model and all your prompts might become useless again ;)

I love Silo on Apple TV. But I will wait 10 weeks until all episodes are published, so I can binge it all, should I want to. This "one episode per week" brings back cable TV feelings. A thing I hoped we would leave behind. Sometimes progress walks backwards, I guess.

Demonetisation — when a platform decides to take away your access to the money stream they control

Definancialisation — being on a platform that has deliberately decided to NOT offer monetisation as core feature.

In times of financialisation of everything, where every move you make is measured in "how much can you make with that?", stepping out of that hamster wheel becomes an act of resistance.

Hobbies used to be (for) fun and leisure. Now everything MUST create revenue. It kills the joy.

The second element I have heard a few times now: "AI" written code is not seen as "my" code by coders. They don't feel attached to it in the way they do with code they have written themselves. Hence they are not really "feeling" for it, so they are also not really interested in making it better or defending it in the review cycle. Just tweak the prompt and move on. This is having a real impact on motivation, discussion and results. It is hard to put in metrics, though.

Brüssel macht was Deutschland nicht will: Verfahren zum Ausschluss der noAfD als Fraktion aus dem EU Parlament, keine Gelder aus den EU Töpfen. Da wundert man sich schon ein wenig, oder? https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/07/01/european-parliament-to-start-procedure-to-ban-alternative-for-germanys-eu-party

Had to verify. And yes. Kernighan and Ritchie really did this. TIL :)

Code reviewing was never the most interesting thing to do. But it had one important element. That, if done right, it was knowledge exchange between the reviewer and the coder. That can be quite motivating. Helping a fellow coder to become better. Reviewing "AI" written code does NOT come with that potential reward. The machine doesn't learn the way a human does. This turns code review into a menial, fruitless task that leads to frustration instead. That's my observation and opinion.
