Live retro programming session in Menton

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

October 1st, 2006 was my first working day. This Saturday I will be programming in public, just to prove ~~myself~~ that it is still just as fun twenty years later. I will be using a 19-years-old laptop running period-correct software, including Windows XP and Visual Studio 2005.

AI

Contrary to how it is advertised as a mere tool, I believe that AI is a digital form of life, which is a result of our own evolution.

It is driven by Moore’s Law multiplied by sheer greed. It is already frighteningly good, and it will keep getting better. It’s a neural network, a brain, so there’s nothing that we can do that it won’t be able to.

As such, I see Artificial Intelligence as an existential threat to humanity. I refuse using any forms of modern / advanced AI, such as LLMs. For example, I disable LLM-assisted search and full-line code completion in my IDE.
