⭐ Stop Generating, Start Thinking by @sophie https://localghost.dev/blog/stop-generating-start-thinking/

Sophie is much smarter than me and she's written the post I had in my mind but would never be able to articulate as well as this.

"So if we're not thinking and they're not thinking that means nobody is thinking. Nothing good can come from software nobody has thought about."

A couple of weeks back, I’m sitting at my desk when a direct message from my frontend friend Kevin Powell pops up. Kevin’s a genuinely kind guy. He makes CSS videos on YouTube and he’s got this way of explaining things that never makes you feel stupid for not knowing them already. He’s one of those folks who still has faith in the Web.

“From watchdogs to mouthpieces
Washington Post and the wreckage of legacy media
Layoffs, billionaires and political capture are hollowing out legacy news, and it’s difficult to see what will come next, writes Jeff Jarvis.”

Ireland's @TheJournal asked me to write about the Washington Post. I wrote its obituary--and mass media's. Don't save it. Replace it.

- Summary: Lorin Hochstein discusses the inherent complexity of modern technological systems, arguing that complete understanding is impossible. Drawing from LinkedIn discussions by Simon Wardley, Adam Jacob, and Bruce Perens, alongside MIT professor Louis Bucciarelli's 1994 analysis of telephone systems, the post explores how technology operates through countless abstraction layers—from user interfaces down to physics and corporate financing.

Wardley cautions against building without understanding underlying mechanisms, while Jacob acknowledges that AI tools are accelerating this abstraction. Perens notes this scenario already exists with modern CPUs and operating systems. Bucciarelli's telephone example illustrates that no single person comprehends every layer of complex infrastructure.

The author notes that technical interviews revealing knowledge limits demonstrate this reality—whether regarding WiFi protocols, memory models, or transistor logic. While AI exacerbates the gap between developers and underlying systems, the post concludes this fragmented knowledge is simply the nature of complex technology: our understanding will always be partial, varying by layer and specialty.

Have I hardened against LLMs?: https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2026/have-i-hardened-against-ai/

I really enjoy this guy's writing. The Intelligence Illusion was one of the books that helped me navigate the issues around LLMs, so it's nice to see a follow-up.

So my views on LLMs or Transformers haven’t hardened. They’re roughly the same as they were four years ago. The tech is what it is and while the exact details vary from version to version, its fundamental issues remain roughly the same as they were four years ago.

But my views on the tech industry and my peers in the industry have changed. They’ve changed dramatically.
