Case in point - Canva. Business built on providing simple templates for users to build their own content with. Well, they’re doomed then. Canva announces major job cuts after 'our hardest year yet' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cw77pg7neydmo

He’ll be lucky. Prices have gone crazy. What does his kid want to play and are we talking new or used?

I gave it my absolute best shot on the SL swap, but @Rojer is determined to be “sensible” - whatever that is.

I saw that the other day, funniest thing I’ve watched for ages. BwaaaaaaapBAPBAPBAPBAPBAPBAPBAPBAP

Yep, absolutely. I’m AI-ing myself out of a job as we speak. I think the only thing likely to save me is that I have deep domain knowledge in a custom product which no LLM has much of a handle on. I’d hate to be a specialist in anything industry standard about now.

So. Much. This. The uses we’re finding for it at work are crazy, and it’s going to really start hammering some software companies. There are still issues to work through with an AI based tool deployment though, like who is responsible for security scanning and support? Who validates and owns...

I reckon they were targeting the PS6 and other future generation consoles, but that hardware has been delayed by memory and storage pricing thanks to the AI boom. Will be very interesting to see how it actually runs, given what they’ve shown off in the trailers. I just don’t see how they’re...

Honestly, I’m finding Claude incredibly useful. It takes all the drudge out of issue diagnosis and even when it’s wrong it’s usually close enough that I can get to where I need to be. It does mean that I reckon we could fire half the team, give the other half Claude licenses and get through the...

I think a lot of it is just running out of steam now. There’s only so much mileage (ho ho) in “buy cheapest/riskiest car, fix car, forget about car” content

Between that and this…. https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/10/the-internet-goes-on-high-alert-after-discovery-of-8-compromised-tls-certs/ …. it’s been a hell of a few days in the security space.

What about married lonely nerds?

I’ve not driven it that much TBH, maybe I just got lucky with it.
