Stroads are "the futon of transportation...just as a futon is neither a particularly good bed nor a particularly good couch, a stroad is neither a particularly good road or a particularly good street."

Excellent post from @mipsytipsy. Not just about the limits of GenAI, but also the importance of teams and the importance of mixing juniors and seniors.
I have a new piece up. It's a bit of a rant, even for me, so buckle in.
A lot of "thought leaders" have been making their mortgages lately off of bits on how AI is going to replace software engineers, particularly entry-level engineers.

In a recent interview with TechCrunch, CEO of GitHub talks about a shortage of coders in the western world.
From updating legacy code to incorporating AI into tech stacks, the need for devs isn't going anywhere!

Gave blood today with @KYBloodCenter, and the experience was as safe, clean, quick, and easy as usual. And Little Debbie snacks are in stock🍫.
Please help if you can, and if you ever needed a reason to share the gift of life with a total stranger, now's a good time.
There is a CRITICAL need for blood. Only a one day supply of blood is on the shelves. Please consider donating soon. Kentucky patients need you.
All donations are by appointment only. Make an appointment by calling 800-775-2522 or visiting kybloodcenter.org
Looking forward to chatting this afternoon with @dogooddude and some #LexKY friends about #AI #DataScience and the #FutureOfWork
