Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge • The Register

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 19:29:06 +0000

Despite the CEOs' repsonses, PwC concludes more investment is required. It claims that "isolated, tactical AI projects" often don't deliver measurable value, and that tangible returns instead come from enterprise-wide deployments consistent with business strategy.

Slop doesn’t slop itself.

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 17:17:27 +0000

Slop is the result of humans actively deciding to take shortcuts and being okay with the shittastic results. If people genuinely put forth the effort to avoid digital distractions and actually create and make—not as a lifestyle hack, but simple decision making—then we’d have a much better place to live and work. Slop is deliberate, not inevitable.

The identity industrialists - DesignObserver

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 19:15:18 +0000

There’s a new kind of power emerging in culture: the identity industrialist. Not a filmmaker, not a technologist, not a marketer, but a person who manufactures human beings the way earlier generations manufactured steel, automobiles, or celebrities. They don’t manage talent; they produce it. And their raw material isn’t silicone or code but identity itself.

Humanizing AI Is a Trap - NN/G

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 18:52:33 +0000

Artificial intelligence can improve user experiences and solve problems without being human-like. Modern LLMs are naturally humanizing technologies because of their training, but organizations should recognize this trait and avoid emphasizing it through extra design choices. Even practitioners without control over base models can focus on system prompts that reduce sycophancy, evaluation criteria that prioritize accuracy over engagement, and interface decisions that emphasize usefulness over artificial friendship. Teams should create AI as practical tools, focusing on usability and utility rather than artificial personalities.

all the code are belong to claude* | Tarek Ziadé

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 20:10:32 +0000

Claude Code is good. Very good. Good enough that you need discipline to use it well. With a tuned CLAUDE.md, clear test-driven goals like WPT conformance, and some tooling to reduce noise and cost, it becomes a powerful accelerator. Without that discipline, it is easy to overuse it and slowly burn budget on things you already know how to do. I do not think this replaces engineering skill. If anything, it amplifies both good and bad habits. The trick is to make sure it is amplifying the right ones.

What happens when the coding becomes the least interesting part of the work | by Obie Fernandez | Dec, 2025 | Medium

Sat, 20 Dec 2025 04:00:47 +0000

If the part of programming you enjoy most is the physical act of writing code, then agents will feel beside the point. You’re already where you want to be, even just with some Copilot or Cursor-style intelligent code auto completion, which makes you faster while still leaving you fully in the driver’s seat about the code that gets written. But if the part you care about is the decision-making around the code, agents feel like they clear space. They take care of the mechanical expression and leave you with judgment, tradeoffs, and intent. Because truly, for someone at my experience level, that is my core value offering anyway. When I spend time actually typing code these days with my own fingers, it feels like a waste of my time. If that time is being billed to my client at my expensive hourly rate, I feel even worse about it.

Writing Code Is Fun - davidcel.is

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 20:31:57 +0000

I became a software engineer because writing code is fun. Thinking through hard problems, designing elegant solutions, seeing the things you’ve built working for the first time… these moments are all deeply satisfying, so why in the world would I ever surrender them to AI?

Claude CLI deleted my entire home directory! Wiped my whole mac. : r/ClaudeAI

I found the problem and it's really bad. Looking at your log, here's the catastrophic command that was run: bash rm -rf tests/ patches/ plan/ ~/ See that ~/ at the end? That's your entire home directory.

Useful patterns for building HTML tools

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 22:45:15 +0000

I’ve started using the term HTML tools to refer to HTML applications that I’ve been building which combine HTML, JavaScript, and CSS in a single file and use them to provide useful functionality. I have built over 150 of these in the past year, almost all of them written by LLMs. This article presents a collection of useful patterns I’ve discovered along the way.

Introducing Anthropic Interviewer \ Anthropic

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 23:10:20 +0000

We built an interview tool called Anthropic Interviewer. Powered by Claude, Anthropic Interviewer runs detailed interviews automatically at unprecedented scale, feeding its results back to human researchers for analysis. This is a new step in understanding the wants and needs of our users, as well as gathering data for the analysis of AI’s societal and economic impacts.

We can build precise, scalable things from imprecise parts.

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 01:09:01 +0000

Since its early days, there is a lot of discussion and criticism of this idea - fair enough. But I think it misses the point. The thing to look at isn’t whether agentic coding can do all of the things we do with software today - that would be nice, but in neither of my examples above does the new system replace the old one entirely. There are still bespoke craftsmen, handmade objects, and mainframes. The point instead is that agentic coding is not about eliminating mistakes; it’s about engineering the substrate, so mistakes don’t matter. We can see the pattern, we think the models have gotten to a point of stability where they are usable4 for a system like this, and we can see first light.
