Agent Psychosis: Are We Going Insane? | Armin Ronacher's Thoughts and Writings
[https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/1/18/agent-psychosis/]
==It takes you a minute of prompting and waiting a few minutes for code to come out of it. But actually honestly reviewing a pull request takes many times longer than that. The asymmetry is completely brutal. Shooting up bad code is rude because you completely disregard the time of the maintainer.==I am a maintainer who uses AI myself, and I know others who do. We’re not luddites and we’re definitely not anti-AI. But we’re also frustrated when we encounter AI slop on issue and pull request trackers. Every day brings more PRs that took someone a minute to generate and take an hour to review.

Back in the day, light mode wasn’t called “light mode”. It was just the way that computers were, we didn’t really think about turning everything light or dark. Sure, some applications were often dark (photo editors, IDEs, terminals) but everything else was light, and that was fine.What we didn’t notice is that light mode has been slowly getting lighter, and I’ve got a graph to prove it.

“The whole prison would sing for two or three days before the hanging, to ease the terror of the victims,” Dr. Christie recalled at a 2013 conference at the University of the Western Cape on laws regarding torture.

Then he recited the lyrics of an anti‐apartheid folk song that reverberated in the penitentiary: “‘Senzeni-na? Senzeni-na? What have we done? What have we done?’ It was the most beautiful music on earth, sung in a vile place.”
