Had a look at "multi-agent coding" today.
Apparently, the first step is signing up for the premium plans from OpenAI, Anthropic AND Google. So that's £50 to £500 a month. Then installing a massive pile of NodeJS to coordinate it all.
A few years ago, we were all celebrating how computing had gotten cheap: RasPi Zeros for a tenner, old HP workstations or ThinkPads on eBay for £100.
Having to pay three different landlords to build software seems like an incredibly shit vision of the future.

The UK government’s official internet policy:
1. if you run a web forum or fedi instance, you need to do a bunch of paperwork to comply with the #OnlineSafetyAct to protect the kids.
2. if you are rich and run a neo-nazi website with officially posted virtual CSAM, politicians won’t leave despite that being a million times worse than anything you’d read on a forum about fixed gear cycling or a mastodon server run by some queer furries running arch for their polycule.
Incredibly coherent.
Satya Nadella says AI use is "no longer optional".
Microsoft lays off 15,000 employees in the last year.
And today Azure shits itself. Enjoy.
Oh, look, the entirely predictable consequences of age verification that everyone said would happen. Bravo for all involved with the #OnlineSafetyAct.

The first cursed thing I learned about the SAP system I had to integrate was that to submit data, I had to send non-standards compliant SOAP messages. Literally construct an XML document in a DOM, then run various regexes over it in order to break it in ways that worked with their shitty XML parser.
It didn’t have transactions. You sent in data, one row would fail, but all the others would get inserted.
Every day, more annoying shitty errors that required emailing arsehole consultants.

Dante could think of no worse punishment than an eternity working on SAP systems. It’s truly the most nasty cursed piece of shit I’ve ever seen, and the world would be better if it snapped out of existence tomorrow.
