Blender wins coveted Self Ownage award

In what can only be described as a stroke of genius, the Blender Foundation leadership has successfully eliminated all the good will it has gathered over more than 20 years, all with a single message.

"We had no idea it would be THIS successful", an unnamed member of their team said, "I mean we really did try to win the award when we let Adobe sponsor us, but it wasn't quite enough, but got a little angry, but they forgave us, i mean we ARE Blender after all. So while we were wondering how to top it, we got an offer for a sponsorship from Anthropic. It was a match made in heaven and it worked so much better than we could have ever hoped."

We could not get any further comments from the team member, as they were dragged away and publicly stoned by an angry mob.

FNR - All the Fedi News you need!

Gave a talk analyzing 22,000 commits across 74 repos to understand what agentic coding actually changed in our codebase. The answer: more output, yes. But asked if we measure quality the right way

Right after my talk, someone presented their own agentic framework. 20 agents. type in a ticket number. The agents write the code. just watch your usage limits.

And I sat there thinking: I just spent weeks asking "is the code getting better?" and the next talk asks "how do I stop writing code entirely?"

Here's what bothers me most: this isn't even sustainable. The tokens powering these agents cost far more than what subscriptions charge right now. They’re building workflows on subsidized infrastructure and pretending this is the new normal. And when leadership sees a demo like that, what they hear is: "we don't need as many developers." Based on pricing that won't last.

They’re speedrunning their own obsolescence on someone else's dime. And I'm not sure we're even asking the right questions while we do it.

i mean, it's a good thing i guess, the more people whose content is not directly queer-related can be allies, the better

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Buff Frog Pin. Republicans were so worried that the water was turning the frogs gay that they failed to notice the frogs were getting absolutely jacked.

There is copilot but it's even more hilarious, you have to be using vscode and you have to be signed into a github account to use it.

And you? What are you thinking about?

Boosts appreciated, and TYSM in advance:

I am procastinating for a presentation I have to make on cool queer historical people in STEM. And only Turing comes up to mind (I also can't talk about Lynn Conway because I already included her in another presentation).

Can you suggest any other cool figure? I especially interested if there's some sort of interesting story attached to their personal life.

Deadline's on Friday evening plz help
