rogerthis··on Where's the "Intelligence Explosion"?
Be patient. It's coming. So I heard.
rogerthis··on JetBrains Air: A System of Products for Agentic Software Development
I'm still a happy payer, but... They started to get out of tracks with the "new UI".

The OP post feels like completely marketing department, no skin in the game. I'm afraid they are becoming Borland.

rogerthis··on The Hugging Face incident and the road ahead
The classical question "would you fly an airplane with software you developed?". There must be someone with ass on the line. Problem is that people are regarding all those not as airplane-like risks.

Unless we can blame people/companies and people stop getting their bonuses and high paying salaries for preventable failures, it's a long way to go.

rogerthis··on AI psychosis is the new leadership blind spot
Pointing this is the new trending in my Linkedin feed. Same people that three months ago were saying "it's not (about) A, it's ...". Accountability died a long time ago.
rogerthis··on The Absurdity of Albert Camus
Raymond Aron
rogerthis··on Launch HN: Parsewise (YC P25) – Reason Across Documents with an API
I am seeing my client using things like this heavily (not exactly this). Also, what I would call "business awareness" is declining.
rogerthis··on LLMs are not the black box you were promised
Isn't that a metacognitive insight itself?
rogerthis··on When everyone has AI and the company still learns nothing
That already happens here. I am old dev who was the goto guy for people with certain business and technical questions. Not anymore (which is part good, as I'm interrupted much less, and part bad, as sometimes they regard the wrong answer as truth).
rogerthis··on Atlassian enables default data collection to train AI
Beautiful on paper. But it does not scale outside a certain type of tech people.
rogerthis··on The race to build the next WordPress
It seems it is the buzzword of the month.
rogerthis··on The EU still wants to scan your private messages and photos
Yes. The anchor chain got broken sometime ago. It's still there, but nobody want it anymore.
rogerthis··on Anthropic officially bans using subscription auth for third party use
Unless it's illegal in more places, I think they won't care. In my experience, the percentage of free riders in Brazil is higher (due to circumstances, better said).
rogerthis··on The AI boom is causing shortages everywhere else
Smells like "Banco Master" (Brazil) scandal.
rogerthis··on Coding agents have replaced every framework I used
Weird thing is that it can ease things like that too.
rogerthis··on Instant Checkout and the Agentic Commerce Protocol
Yeah, miss good ol' mom, gradma talk: you (should) love people; things you like them.
rogerthis··on Freeway guardrails are now a favorite target of thieves
You are becoming Brazil (brazilian here).
rogerthis··on Everything I know about good API design
Things would come in SDKs, and docs were in MS Help .chm files.
rogerthis··on Ask HN: Worth leaving position over push to adopt vibe coding?
I can't stop thinking what happened when CASE tools, WYSIWIG, UML, Model Driven Architecture/Development, etc was pushed into devs. I know, it's a different phenomenon (that was a graphical visual push, this keeps the text).
rogerthis··on No Hello
My rules: if it's a person I interact everyday, private hello (hi, hey) is ok, and answered with equivalent. If we don't interact usually or have never, if I'm the one starting, then it's "Hi, I'm ..., the one responsible for ... We have this case ... etc etc.". I accept anything.

But, anyways, it's just life, don't know why people (even from my generation) are nervous these days.

rogerthis··on Apple introduces a universal design across platforms
It's weird the amount of not asked/not needed things we do.
rogerthis··on CNCF and Synadia Align on Nats.io
I suppose Synadia will keep its plan to have NATS (or whatever it intend to call it) with a "business license". And, unless this episode wakes some people up, some damaged has been done (to the project/community).
rogerthis··on Protecting NATS and the integrity of open source
I'm not against this kind of move (Synadia's) by itself, but it seems too early. I've been following NATS for some time, and undeservedly, it hasn't taken off. I could find only two books; documentation is clean but I think it could be improved; blog posts, tutorials, videos are few and sparse in time; community tools are nil (from what I could find). A non-open source license is going to restrict adoption even more.

I recommended it to my clients every time it looked like a solution to the problem, but never been able to convince, due to the lack of community or big cloud sponsorship/offerings.

rogerthis··on The Agent2Agent Protocol (A2A)
Looking at partners of this effort, I wonder what problems does A2A create to serve as a solution.
rogerthis··on U.S. stock futures tumble indicating another plummet on Wall Street
People said the same when COVID started. The sides were reversed back then.
rogerthis··on When so much knowledge is produced every day, how do you keep up?
That's mostly noise. I just ignore. Except on some specific subject I'm eventually dealing with, I check "top of last 90 days" and I'm fine.
rogerthis··on Kafka at the low end: how bad can it get?
I'd wish NATS were more popular. It feels it lacks some real big sponsors $$$.
rogerthis··on Replit CEO on AI breakthroughs: We don't care about professional coders anymore
I feel, cannot substantiate, but I feel today looks like those days of "Model Driven Design", "Model Driven Architecture", UML code generators, WYSIWYG IDEs.

Just feeling, just feeling.

rogerthis··on Systems ideas that sound good but almost never work
Event sourcing.

PS: on mobile, can't expand (issues around versioning, data migration)

rogerthis··on Simple Sabotage for the 21st Century – Specific Suggestions
This is not a rare thing in contractor/it service/consulting world.
rogerthis··on Agile Is Dead
The idea seems to be to replace a set of empty keywords with another.
