This was from Mar 11, but I still can't wrap my head around rolling back everything your software company has shipped in the last 3 months!!!! Especially when that company's Amazon.

My eyes are going to fall out of my head. 🙄
"The company maintains that these were user errors, not AI errors, and that the same mistakes could happen with any developer tool. That’s a fair point, but it doesn’t change the outcome."

My socialist magazine is here! It's socialist because they care about journalistic integrity, pay their writers, and most of the ads are for unions.

I love their work, and it's super affordable. Subscribe for Canadian print media that you can leave in little free libraries after!

If you were a professional shit poster, how would you get paid?

Y'all, it's shorts weather.

I feel like having my first corporate job in pharmaceuticals before software really helped to anchor my work in reality.

Software isn't real. What it does, and how it's implemented and applied to society, that is real.

Half of my post start with "Jesus Christ" because everything's shit. And then I delete it because no one needs that much religion shoved back in their face, and Jesus deserves better than being affiliated with whatever fresh hell I was posting.

Starting Aug 17, 2026, Atlassian is taking your metadata if you're not on their $$$$$ enterprise tier. If you don't pay them on the premium tier, they'll also take all of your in-app data and keep it for up to 7 years. You also need to opt out of them taking your in-app data. What's to stop them from taking your in-app data on the paid tiers when they change their minds?

Think about this. 70% of software companies globally use Jira, and all your research, designs, and business context live in Confluence.

When (not if) the AI coding tools improve enough, they can essentially replicate your entire product and compete against you. They can generate a client list and sell against you. Or help your competitor build what you've made, faster with your own context.

What a nightmare.
