🧐 Cindy is one of the smartest people in the industry when it comes to deep understanding of tech and process and communicating ideas clearly so it it's interesting to see this contribution drop.

I wouldn't use "vulnpocalypse" right now, as people have since started talking about "human extinction". That is not what I meant at all -- I'm talking about an explosion in vulns and possible impacts on industry and infrastructure, not the end of us!

Got to wonder where all this ends. What will OSS look like in a year?

📝 I could just share a link to Marques Brownlee’s video and say, “Hey I thought this was good. You might too.” But turns out I had a lot I wanted to say and think through, so it turned into a blog post. blog.jim-nielsen.com/2026/dear-so...

The last time building software sped up ~10x (early 2000s, the agile movement), a massive interest in automated testing followed almost immediately (unit tests, TDD, XP etc) Today, building software sped up 10x, easily: and a similar massive interest in automated testing + verification is following

a reminder that i got called slurs for saying that linux is what they call “woke” and that DHH isn’t a good guy. do NOT normalize bigots in our tech communities. it isn’t political, it’s just human decency. retract all omarchy funding. be good.

For years now, I've been unable to read straight fiction. I used to read lots of books and "literature", especially stuff from all time lists etc. Now I almost exclusively read sci-fi and fantasy, with the odd bit of non-fiction thrown in (but not bios).

I guess this is just the need for escapism, but it's amazingly strong. Like, I might manage to force myself to read a few pages of a novel, but then I have to give up. It's almost painful.
