Amazon-Entwickler am Limit: KI-Druck verwandelt Programmieren in Fließbandarbeit - t3n – digital pioneers
Software-Entwickler:innen bei Amazon beklagen widrige Arbeitsumstände. Sie müssen mittlerweile Code wie am Fließband schreiben. Welche Ursache dieser neue Leistungsdruck hat. Bei Amazon stehen einige Veränderungen für Mitarbeiter:innen an. Zuletzt wurde etwa bekannt, dass der Onlinehändler Homeoffice-Möglichkeiten weiter einschränkt. Zudem gab es erste Personalkürzungen, durch die eine Umstrukturierung der Amazon-Struktur angestoßen werden soll. Die Veränderungen merken […]

I think, at this point of time, all fediverse software supports markdown, some even support LaTeX formatting. But, Mastodon still doesn't support any of that. I sadly observe that everyone around me posting per posts with bold, italics etc, while I can't.
Mastodon feels like the gnome of fediverse software.

I arrived here after a couple of decades working, for want of better phrasing, on “capitalism’s side”.

Today is the 30th anniversary of the launch of the first wiki by Ward Cunningham. A page that anyone could edit. Right from the browser. It was generally seen as a bad idea. What if people did bad things?
Originally to support the software development community in creating a repository of software design patterns, wikis were later used for many other goals (even an encyclopedia!), and became part of Web 2.0, together with blogs, fora and social media.

The form factor of the sticks was never the issue, the problem is that compared to Apple TV the interface is incredibly slow and clunky. Is that resolved?

“CVE naming and assignment to software packages and versions are the foundation upon which the software vulnerability ecosystem is based. Without it, we can’t track newly discovered vulnerabilities. We can’t score their severity or predict their exploitation. And we certainly wouldn’t be able to make the best decisions regarding patching them.”

After DHS did not renew its funding contract for reasons unspecified, MITRE’s 25-year-old Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program was slated for an abrupt shutdown on April 16, which would have left security flaw tracking in limbo. CISA stepped in to provide a bridge.

I'm asserting now that Github has crossed the event horizon into Enterprise Software. Complex enough that any bug is your fault for not reading the right docs and flipping the right configuration flags. The experience will keep getting worse. People will use it because they have to not because they want to. It will become the MS Teams of scm-devops-hosting-stuff.

Oddly satisfying to find that the reason our metrics change between one event and another is because one has a hard coded value instead of a real one, and that it's been that way since inception, two years before I started.
