The cost of AI
The tech giants are creating a system with the appeal of a 19th-century factory without delivering the sole benefit: cheaper stuff. Ask what the true cost of the tokens would be. Nobody knows, but raising awareness is a good idea.

Books aren't dead
About twenty boxes of books were thrown onto the street from my apartment building. That made me sad, but Iโm not going read 98% of them. But they were taken anyway, and quickly. Books arenโt dead. Theyโre just sleeping.

โ77% of developers have assumed more responsibility for testing in the last yearโ
