Anthropic's Claude Code's full source code leaked. Claude is seen by many to be the best coding LLM on the market with Anthropic proudly stating that Claude Code itself is mostly written by the LLM.

Now this sounds good as long as nobody can see the code which is quite the trash fire. Detecting "code sentiment" via regular expressions, variable and functions names containing prompt parts trying to influence the bot, a completely intransparent mess of a control flow that makes actual maintenance and debugging functionally impossible and the prompts ... of the prompts. All the begging and pleading to the chatbot not to do this or not to do that or please to do this.

It is fascinating but it is as far away from actual engineering as drunkenly pissing your name in the snow. Dunno what you call the people prompting software at Anthropic but "engineer" is not it.

Now it is fun to look at the currently hyped product striped bare and showing its pathetic quality but that is the future of software if we let those companies continue to undermine every good practice software engineering has tried establishing.

The software we have to use will be bad, insecure, unmaintainable, expensive with nobody having the skills or resources to build something better. As I wrote a few months ago: LLM based software production is equivalent to saying that fast fashion should be the only way to produce clothing. A tragic degeneration of the quality of the artefacts we rely on build for maximum profit on the backs of people in countries from the global majority.

• Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile
• people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend
• now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source

What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???

We're hiring for a part-time position in Finance & Operations at @Mastodon. Fluent German and English language skills are a requirement. In terms of location it's a hybrid role so we're looking for candidates in #berlin or #vienna. I believe this is a rare opportunity to learn about the organisational side of technology non-profits and open source.

Liveblog, the new Mastodon interface designed for live events e.g. watch parties, faced the acid test of #Monsterdon (+ #MonsterMiru) last night... & survived!

• Let me post without having to worry about entering multiple hashtags every time (Mastodon web's capricious hashtag autocomplete is the most frustrating "feature" for me during watch parties)
• It auto-refreshed & kept up with the flow; maybe not as instant as plain Mastodon, Liveblog perhaps every 1-3 seconds, but definitely good enough. (For me at least; at one point another user said Liveblog would only update every ~60 seconds for them IIRC. At the exact same time, it was working fine for me. 🤷‍♂️)
• Enough vertical space for me in my laptop side-by-side watch party setup to be able to see 1-4 posts (depending on their content)

Drawbacks last night (it's under development, & changes/new features are being added daily):

• Couldn't click on a post to see its parent/thread
• Couldn't edit a post
• No notification sounds. Not an issue for me, as I have Mastodon pinned as one of my essential tabs in Zen Browser so I heard notifications from that. (It would sound 3-5 seconds before appearing in Liveblog.)
• EDIT: no emojis, had to remember how to use emoticons :D

I'm going to keep using Liveblog for watch parties. Give it a try yourself, watch partiers!

The computer whiz married his router and modem, pronouncing them husbandwidth and WiFi.

Bad news for my neighbor if I'm supposed to love them as I love myself.

I was in a good mood until I started petting a duckling in the park. Then I started feeling a little down.

Quick reminder, especially if you’re a freelancer or developer using Free/Pro/Pro+ plans for client work: Opt out of GitHub using your data for AI model training before April 24 (seriously, wtf that this isn’t opt-in!).

Nach einer kurzen Vorstellungsrunde und einem Beitrag von @sonjdol zu Blogs bei WordPress, Medium, Substack und Co. gehen wir jetzt beim zweiten Magdeburger @fediMD in eine erste Kaffeepause.

Das #Plushtodon ist auch dabei.

I want everyone to see my cartoon son.

Tux und die Plushtodons haben gerade eine Blume bekommen.
