I've been saying some variation of this for the past year or so. Sadly, I will probably have to keep doing it for the next 5.

"Everyone has a testing environment. If you're lucky, you *also* have a production environment."

AI companies are still complaining about people distilling their products. Oh how it must hurt to get your work stolen to train someone else's models. Cry us a river.

"we need new science to ensure that more capable models will make safe choices when we aren’t looking" For the bajillionth time: this ain't happening, not with LLMs. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

If you like sci-fi and you haven't read the bobiverse you're missing out. It's a masterpiece.

Big shout out to endeavour-os. I haven't used arch for almost 10 years, and the experience of installing, maintaining and using it has improved so much thanks to them that I was blown away. It's really the year of Linux on the desktop. endeavouros.com

Can't wait to watch this.

I've been saying this since 2024. I'm waiting for a major, catastrophic vulnerability to shake the world due to this.

My feelings exactly huronbikes.mataroa.blog/blog/i-am-no...

I have had problems with my MacBook more or less non-stop since I got it. I've had so many people tell me that it was just a matter of habit. Seeing @jakearchibald.com , struggle with the same issues made me feel less dumb and lonely. Thank you.

This is what I expect to happen to most developers in a couple of years youtu.be/lgXkty83jPM?...

Most AI images fall in the uncanny valley for me. And there's more and more in the streets and public spaces by the day. This is a new kind of nightmare I didn't see coming.

A bit over two years after starting to work on it... Go is officially FIPS 140-3 certified 💥 csrc.nist.gov/projects/cry... I am pretty confident Go is now one of the most—if not the most—seamless and complete FIPS 140-3 compliance solutions... with a single env var, out of the box.

It's cringe to ask "what would Trump be doing differently if he were a Kremlin asset?" And yet we must.

@empijei.bsky.social’s favorite thing! pmbanugo.me/blog/why-asy...

Is this what we call the Art of the Deal?

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that renewables aren't just better for the environment.

LLMs are gaining our trust while working at a loss... I really can't imagine what the future holds! (It's ads)

There we go

I'm officially looking around, if anybody needs a Go software engineer with a very strong background in web security lmk. I also know a fair share of frontend dev and was a SWE/SE for Google and Microsoft. I'm looking for security-sensitive dev projects and security reviews.

MacOS: I see you've set Finder to appear on 'all desktops' me: yes MacOS: So when you cmd-tab to Finder, which desktop should I switch to? me: well you shouldn't because… MacOS: So I can switch to a random desktop? YAY!

MacOS: When I restart, would you like me to re-open all these apps? me: no MacOS: hmm well that's a shame because I am going to do that. me: ok MacOS: Should I open them all maximised on the same desktop? me: no MacOS: hmm well…

Will LLMs become a fundamental tool in our box? Sure. Will they replace us? No. Linters may become very powerful Reviews may become more precise Autocomplete may be more useful Testing may become more thorough and widespread But only if we collectively take our heads out of our a###s soon

I wonder how much of this applies to software engineering.

One more ooopsie and github is going to lose their last nine. I wonder what is the cause behind this 🤔

I am using a MacBook lately. It was a gift, so I took the chance to finally try it. I have to say: it's the best hardware AND the worst software I've ever had on a laptop. The operating system is barely usable and shaves the bar for "functional" VERY closely. But the machine is a beast. 🤔

The AI harness engineering hype is basically just people finding out that with leaner design, good encapsulation, simpler code, improved tools, working CI/CD and precise documentation one can be more effective at writing correct code.

devdocs.io is an amazing os-agnostic app that allows you to download and browse docs offline and blazingly fast. Since it's a PWA it takes a second to install, and works exactly the same everywhere. I strongly advise to give it a look.

Holy smokes @zed.dev is Dizzyingly fast. I have no doubt that with some minor improvements that they're already working on it's going to eat up a big chunk of the other editors' user base.

Week one of sourdough, results are staggeringly similar to those of the bread maker I own. I accidentally started this experiment as a game for my daughter but it's already surpassed my expectations.

I've started to hear about engineers using AI-written code as an excuse for broken products. Please let's not go towards a future where writing code by hand becomes a liability. Please.

I just published kotama, an experimental GOOS=tamago compiler branch that allows execution of a rich example in barely 6MB of RAM, running on an rv64imfc CPU (yes, no d or a extension). This paves the way for supporting aifoundry.org Minion cores! github.com/usbarmory/ko...

I don't see this point being discussed nearly enough. youtu.be/SKTsNV41DYg?...

The value of the code isn't just the code itself, but it's also the mental model the developers build while working on it. Taking that away with AI creates maintainers that can't maintain the code, one little change at a time.
