After a long summer break, I'm continuing my blog post series on event sourcing, focusing on how to handle acceptance workflows: an employee makes a change that needs approval from, e.g. their manager. So we need to accept or reject events. www.planetgeek.ch/2026/09/28/e... #EventSourcing #fsharp

For #fsharp, #dotnet, #fablecompiler and @cloudflare-dev.bsky.social folks there's a new project for building agentic AI in the cloud. We're excited to make this a community project that anyone can use, modify, profit and contribute! It's still early days yet... fsprojects.github.io/FSharp.Cloud...
Finally got round to re-registering and fixing up my website/blog: 7sharp9.dev #fsharp #ai #ml #dsp

I made a refactoring tool for myself to fix (agent-generated or old) F# code: github.com/thorium/fsha... Try it and let me know what you think. #fsharp

Might not be a huge audience here, but I wanted to announce that. FSharp.Data.Npgsql is now part of fsprojects, thanks to @dsyme for the nudge. This should make maintenance easier.. It's a #typeprovider wrapper in #fsharp for #postgres that allows you to just point your code at a database and […]

I'm still processing but I watched Dirty Business (not even done yet) & while I knew a lot about this & lived in Ox, I'm completely beguiled by the almost direct parallel to what we're going through with AI. I'm at a heightened awareness of our role as academics. theconversation.com/englands-sew...

About a year ago I made some predictions about the effect of AI on programming jobs. Block laid off 40% of its staff claiming AI made them more efficient. Is that really true or did they just over-hire? Let's look at some data and see what's really happening. Full post: seldo.com/posts/do-ai-...

Sorry, Bluesky, but I have to say it: AI can already do social science research better than most professors with PhDs. And, for the first time in my life, I really have no idea what happens in five years. Things are changing already, we just need to wake up.

You know, we used to joke about 'vibe coding.' Well... things have changed. We should call it what it is: Coding with AI. From @karpathy.bsky.social It is hard to communicate how much programming has changed due to AI in the last 2 months: not gradually but in this last December.

Aside work on the Firefly compiler, we're also building a cloud edge platform. That process, starting as back plane machinery for package management, emerged with "shared edges" until we found that re-imagining it as part of the Fidelity Framework itself was warranted. speakez.tech/blog/intelli...

After some *checks notes* umm.. 6 years, I released a new version of my composable data visualization library, adding support for images! compostjs.github.io/compost/demo... I still think this is the best way of doing composable data visualizations. See the paper: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
