Looks like Github has not renewed its SSL certificates. Yet another disruption.
Sure, AI makes you code much faster, but it also makes you introduce bugs much faster too.

Last day in Rimini!
Thank you @rubycon@mastodon.social for organizing such a lovely event. And thank you, y'all lovely Ruby people. Baci !

@mijustin Funnily enough, I *can't* listen to an audio podcast for the life of me, but I will hapilly sit in front of my laptop watching video podcasts for *hours*.
Something about being forced to completely engage with it, while when listening to audio, I just do something else and don't focus on it.
Last week, I attended the first edition of @rubycon@mastodon.social in Rimini 🇮🇹.
On a whim, I signed up to give a lightning talk on a topic close to my heart: my reconversion (from stained-glass maker to Rails developer) and what it taught me about our responsibility as a community toward the next generation of developers.

@monospace@floss.social Hahaha, yes. You're right, and on the other hand, I experience a lot more lack of care since we all started using AI to make things move faster.
So not necessary a direct causality but maybe a tiny bit of correlation?
Andrew Murphy still very much on point here: https://andrewmurphy.io/blog/ai-didnt-kill-your-junior-pipeline-you-did
Discovered @miranj@mastodon.social this morning. I really enjoy when dev shops put content in the world, and these resonate with my current thoughts. Check em out!

@monospace@floss.social For Github specifically, this might be a question of their current trajectory as a company making their organisational weaknesses show more and more.

@soulcutter I use it *all* the time. If there is a list of legitimate communication hacks, this one is in it.
May be we just call AI output "AI vieille culotte" instead of AI slop.
"Slop" is also French slang that means briefs/panties (mostly used up).
And now, I can't unsee the parallel.
Second day in Rimini! No Ruby nerdery today, only Renaissance paintings nerdery!
(and coffees, cakes, piadine🤌)
You know you've found a gem of an English teacher when that person consecutively:
- brings back from a trip malt vinegar for you to put on your chips
- recommends you https://shop.moderntoss.com/products/periodic-table-of-swearing-poster
during the same bloody a lesson.
Replying to
@mlevison@agilealliance.social A industry-wide trend moving towards token consumption rather than code quality leading to skeleton teams struggling to keep with everything, so SSL certs slip unnoticed?
Replying to
@mlevison@agilealliance.social That's a false dichotomy. In the case of GH, it's not a OR situation. It's an AND situation.
