SUMMARY:Developers in the Dark Forest
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sergès Goma\n\nDevelopers used to have a home on the 
 internet. Stack Overflow was our oracle. Twitter was our town square. Open
  source repos were our collective workshop. But something has gone wrong. 
 Stack Overflow sits abandoned. Twitter lost its name and its soul. Open so
 urce repos are filled with AI-generated code that feels hollow. New "devel
 oper platforms" promise community but nobody shows up. The internet isn't 
 just dying for everyone. It's dying for the people who built it.\nSo we've
  gone underground into DMs\, Discord servers\, private Slacks. We're hidin
 g at the edges of a web that doesn't feel like ours anymore. Two theories 
 explain what happened to us. The "dark forest theory" suggests the public 
 internet became hostile: bad actors\, bots\, trolls\, and scrapers turned 
 every public space into a minefield. So we learned to stay quiet\, share l
 ess\, and keep our real conversations private. The "dead internet theory" 
 goes further: most of the content we see online is now generated by bots\,
  for bots. We're not just hiding from threats anymore. We're performing fo
 r an audience that might not even be human\, contributing to repositories 
 that AI will scrape\, answering questions that ChatGPT will repackage.\nTh
 is talk explores how these forces changed the developer internet\, what it
  means to build and learn when the web feels broken\, and whether we can s
 till find each other.\n\nhttps://2026.trondheimdc.no/program/1191455/
