  • I read a retrospective from another team yesterday. They were preparing a demo for leadership and apparently it didn’t go so well. There were many reasons like last minute changes in requirements but one line was interesting for this discussion: The use of the LLM agents caused confusion about who is fixing which bug and taking on which tasks. The agents act like they’re alone in the codebase and keep adding and changing code broadly whenever they see an opportunity for improvement. And that often without specifically being prompted to do so. Now if you have multiple team members collaborating on a project with each their agents, chaos ensues because the agents are not coordinating and the diffs/commits become insane and the team doesn’t fully understand them.

    This actually results in a necessity to test more and longer because nobody knows which bugs have really been fixed now and rapidly preparing for a release or a demo becomes more difficult than before.

    In my opinion an LLM can be very useful to rapidly prototype something. Especially with an API or language you’re not familiar with. But for Production it’s still a huge risk to push code you don’t understand.













  • I actually like to drink but especially beer can give me really bad stomach cramps. Not always, but often enough that I rarely risk it. Also my sleep quality is suffering after drinking and with age I no longer can afford bad sleep. Honestly I’m not sure how people after 30 manage to drink regularly. Even though I’m a fit and healthy person, alcohol just affects me too much to be a regular and enjoyable part of my life.

    I get it can be “relaxing” in some ways, but having to recover from alcohol the day(s) after makes it a very inefficient way of relaxation.


  • Here in Europe wine and beer producers are starting to panic. Representatives are seriously arguing against WHO recommendations (some of them have been doing this since COVID) and the lobbies are very aggressively trying to go against any health promoting legislation that could go against them.

    The bigger producers also start to release light or non alcoholic versions of their drinks to capture the growing non-alcoholic market segment.

    Yes, it’s good, and we see the industry adapting and fighting for profits.




  • The crazy part is that it’s utterly misunderstood as “abolish the police”. You see officers in military gear parading next to crumbling libraries and don’t think the funds should go somewhere else?

    Lack of literacy is a problem. Defunding a militarized police force isn’t. But I guess the general public needs more handholding.
