Steven Senkus liked thisSteven Senkus liked thisQuick proposal: it's time to give up pull requests. PRs were built for a world where a human wrote code slowly, thought hard about every line, and needed a review gate before merge. That world's gone. Now half our diffs are LLM-generated, shipped in minutes, and iterated on faster than any reviewer can meaningfully read them. We're running 2024 process on 2026 output in a world every month is the equivalent of a decade of the 90s or 00s. Why it's broken: - Reviewers are rubber-stamping 400-line (or 1600-line) AI diffs because there's no time to actually understand them - The PR queue has become a bottleneck that punishes speed instead of enabling it - "LGTM" now means "I trust the model" not "I read this code" - We're optimizing for a review ritual, not for actual correctness or safety What to do instead: 1. Replace pre-merge review with continuous, automated verification — tests, type checks, behavior diffs, and LLM-based reviewers that actually read every line (they can, we can't) 2. Merge to main by default, gate releases instead of commits — ship fast, catch issues at the release boundary with real monitoring 3. Reserve human review for architecture decisions and irreversible changes, not routine feature work 4. Treat code as disposable and regenerable — if an AI wrote it in 10 minutes, the fix is often just regenerating it, not painstakingly patching a diff The goal isn't less rigor, it's rigor that matches the actual speed and nature of how code gets made now. PRs made sense when writing code was the bottleneck. It isn't anymore so maybe let's stop pretending our process should look the same? But hey, throw a proposal this way I'm open to alternate solutions to the current mess.

Steven Senkus liked thisSteven Senkus liked thisAgentic AI becomes intriguing when we stop asking LLMs to self-regulate. Frank Coyle argues for using ontologies as semantic guardrails for probabilistic agents: Check the inputs -> Validate the meaning -> Take action. This is worth 20 minutes. https://lnkd.in/ghXUJNDqWhy Agentic Systems Need Ontologies — Frank Coyle, UC BerkeleyWhy Agentic Systems Need Ontologies — Frank Coyle, UC Berkeley

Steven Senkus liked thisSteven Senkus liked thisThis weekend I got my sim racing dashboard project into testing. It's a touchscreen with a Raspberry Pi mounted on the back. Real-time telemetry streams in from iRacing, and the Pi interprets it and puts the info that matters up on the screen. For serious sim racers, it's a way to watch your car's status and gauge your own performance during a race. More coming soon. Gotta love just for fun side projects!

Steven Senkus liked thisSteven Senkus liked thisNow that I have retired, I realized there was something more I can remove from my life .... LinkedIn. Honestly, the amount of AI slop, helpful posts such as "Things hunting worms at night taught me about leadership" and spammy LinkedIn mail, there's not much use I have for this platform anymore. If you want to catch up, old-fashioned email will work! del.olds@gmail.com, del@oldspdx.com or instagram @the_og_duck are how you can connect. I am going to go take photos and play with dog! Wishing everyone the best! In the immortal words of Hill Street Blues, "hey, let's be careful out there."

I volunteered for a 4-month Advanced Testing Internship where I expanded my IT skill set with a wide variety of tasks, including: research & documentation of advanced testing procedures, hardware troubleshooting (sound/video cards, motherboards, processors, RAM, HDD, routers), Linux command line debugging, and an understanding of the current electronics marketplace.
During my time spent as a volunteer at Free Geek, I cultivated an appreciation for e-recycling at the community level and the impact of the Open Source philosophy. Free Geek is a great place to learn, have fun, and feel like a part of something greater than yourself. Check them out!
