Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.

Investing in an AI model will probably sound as silly as stockpiling domain names. Even if many of the big AI companies of the moment might implode and the term “AI” might even be so poisoned that it ends up being called something else, like “machine learning.” The tech, though, is probably here to stay. It may, like the humble website 25 years ago, even become more central to our daily lives, depending on what people end up doing with open source models, in particular. Before you yell at me, I’m not saying this because it’s what I want to happen, merely that there’s historical precedent. File types, protocols, algorithms, specific features, they all cause a gold rush before just being another thing anyone can add to their particular stack.&#34;<br/><br/>I agree with this, except I think it&#39;ll be less traumatic than the dotcom boom.. the utility of LLMs is clearly already here, just wildly oversold (and mostly in the pro models, because the free models just suuuuck every single time I try them). <br/><br/><a href="https://www.garbageday.email/p/the-bubble-is-getting-a-lot-bubblier-folks">https://www.garbageday.email/p/the-bubble-is-getting-a-lot-bubblier-folks</a> 2026-05-28T09:43:12Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrdeq8syyhnk47zr3kvqwymn7r4944u4rqnt6tlpjpyaxdrtgy4vgzypr2ycdqt2dmnza5dpv0glfnw204fygahu8plps6u8zys8lkzjn2jmkdvju people still on substack are like &#34;(fetches fainting couch) but mah clicks! my metrics!&#34; You know what, fuck your clicks, fuck your metrics, and *FUCK YOU*.

I don’t care how talented they are, if they’re mad at each other, pissed off, unhappy, it’s just going to be bad. That was the key insight of Code Complete for me: **programming is the art of dealing with people.** You think of programming as the art of dealing with the computer, but the computer is pretty much this dumb, dumb machine. It’s easy to deal with the computer. For the most part, what’s difficult is dealing with other people, your team, your manager, your project, and the people who pay you money for the project. That’s the really difficult part and that’s the part that the book really delves into. It does talk about code, but it spends a lot of time talking about personal character and the emotions of the people on your team and how to have a sustainable project that’s not breaking the people working on it. I still love those topics. Those are timeless topics, and that’s why it’s such a great book. That’s why it doesn’t ever really get out of date, because people aren’t going to change for the next ten thousand years, not in that way. In a hundred years we’ll be using radically different tooling, but people will still be pissed off at each other. I’ll tell you that with one hundred percent certainty.&#34; excerpt from my section of <a href="https://wfsd.com/">https://wfsd.com/</a> 2026-05-26T19:41:54Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs89exyrg78wuusgj95f6v4clmdee6r6mfg3ce82aphj4gcefg8xyczypr2ycdqt2dmnza5dpv0glfnw204fygahu8plps6u8zys8lkzjn2juwd6lm RE: <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@codinghorror/116631416208454992">https://infosec.exchange/@codinghorror/116631416208454992</a><br/><br/>&#34;Taken together, it demolishes the cornerstone myth of the American tax system: that everyone pays their fair share and the richest Americans pay the most.
