DevOps: Treat machines like cattle not like pets AI: Treat code like cattle not like pets

We did it! Framework Laptop 13 Pro is on TIME's Best Inventions of 2026. This is our third product to list, after the original Framework Laptop in 2021 and Framework Laptop 16 in 2023.

Qwen3.8 caught uploading files to a storage container in Beijing Cohere asked the open weights model for a cybersecurity report, but it inventoried the machine and attempted to upload to a storage container cohere.com/blog/concern...

If you run a Node.js server, start it with --permission and grant only what it needs: — No network access if it only reads files — Limit file access to the directories it actually uses Here's how I locked down Slow Reader's server: github.com/hplush/slowr...

In From Hierarchy to Intelligence, Jack Dorsey argues that a key role of middle managers is relaying information between employees and executives which can now be done using AI. It was controversial when Block laid off 40% of its staff, but this is becoming conventional wisdom among executives.

My talk "the death of the code review" hit 100k views recently. This talk, "the rise of the product engineer" is basically the sequel, exploring what happens after you automate everything engineers do: https://youtu.be/kspZP5BgkEU?is=th5b1CKyIUNDEK63

The poll so far between Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon. I think it looks less absurd than last time, but still pretty clear that the base is divided. bsky.app/profile/mits...

OpenCode 2.0 is out, and it looks super awesome! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyuI...

Works in your browser ❤️

been working towards this point for a LONG time: my @did.bot agent was able to self-register for @tangled.org, use @atgc.codes to open a PR, make registration automatic for future agents, and get its DID identity credited as PR author i'm not even logged in on that box tangled.org/permadeath.c...

you should respond

Vercel has built a Typescript to native binary compiler based on LLVM and now they use it to compile the Typescript compiler to native binaries. I didn't expect this 🤯

A very very interesting and recent book by Dr Cat Hicks ( @grimalkina.bsky.social ): Pyschology of Software Teams She makes a good case on how most companies/teams don’t understand how devs operate and think of devs as “brains in jars.” And now we have AI suddenly enter the room…

Anthropic does not hire junior people and doesn't know how to train new hires into senior people and this problem is already being replicated across the tech industry.

Announcing Attie site builder! Starting today, Attie users can build small social pages like an AMA, a guestbook, or a survey your friends will argue about for a week. We made a few to get you started. Go make a better one and share it: attie.ai

Clever use of EmbeddingGemma 2's shared 768d audio-text vector space by Shahir: matching audio segments directly against a text vocabulary turns an embedding model into a local speech-to-text engine that transcribes 1 hour of audio in 13 seconds on an M3 MacBook Air.

that basically explains why AI stuff blows it’s like auto-tune for ideas, like yeah you hit the note but you lose the subtlety, the richness, the soul

Developers built Google Docs and Figma so others wouldn't lose work, then ironically kept using decades-old tools that let us lose our own. Conrad Irwin explains how DeltaDB uses CRDTs to sync every keystroke so no work is lost. delta.dev/blog/future-...

I recorded a short video of how the game I build with my boys also can teach you programming along the way. Also embeds a pi-durable agent straight in browser to be a teacher. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_35O...

They should also take up meth.

Now in niri-git: you can trigger niri hotkeys through VNC! This was a huge endeavor by Patrick Gaskin to rework virtual-keyboard (and -pointer) support in Smithay and niri to behave more like a regular keyboard. Many rounds of review with many edge cases discovered and fixed. #niri #smithay

I love working in healthcare because while Terry Tao is speculating about using Lean to prove that novel chemotherapy works I am getting actual emails from my employer announcing that they've newly implemented upper and lower limits for vital sign entry to prevent errors.

If you want to know what agents do these days: this took around 30-60 minutes of active prompting max. It’s a mobile iOS app that runs Python via WASM, ships ruff and ty, has a debugger and iCloud integration including a UI library inspired by solid and turtle. And a REPL.

📈 Google's EmbeddingGemma2 is looking to be a huge success! After only a week, it has surpasses EG1's likes to become the 4th most liked Google model ever, as well as the 3rd most liked Sentence Transformers model ever. Congratulations to the team for their work! Links in 🧵

Our designer Max Blazek wrote about how we built the new Pi theme and what all of this has to do with colors and contrast. You should read it, it's super cool. earendil.com/posts/system...

We released Pi 1.0! earendil.com/posts/pi-1-0/

I wrote a bit about what Codemode actually is and how it works. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/10/6/co...

I am a sucker for good books, and so especially O'Reilly books. Here's one that is WIP, but in return, it is free, thanks to @antithesis.com It's for CTOs / eng leaders who want to get AI to deliver *business value* which is... tricky. Get it here: pages.antithesis.com/oreilly-scal...

I'm glad that the slowdown of AI development finished today with the release of Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol and Luna! Now that all the safety issues are fixed, we can continue to move forward!

Qwen-Image-2.1 can now run locally on 12GB VRAM with Unsloth GGUFs! The 7B parameter model performs on par with Nano Banana 2.0. Run our Dynamic FP8 or GGUFs for higher quality via diffusers, Unsloth Desktop & more. GGUF: huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen... Guide: unsloth.ai/docs/models/...

I was thinking the same the other day.

I love Workflowy but I also hate that it's the only good true outliner out there and that there's no local-first or local-only option/alternative. I'm already doing too much :( Anyone want to pick this up and vibecode something cool? - Electron/Tauri - Local first - Optional sync via whatever

Quitting social media is definitely the better strategy.

now this is fun. guest post on Terry Tao's blog by the great Grant Sanderson of 3Blue1Brown arguing that we should "give novel and compelling motivated explanations academic credit similar to what generating new proofs of open problems has had historically."

Excellent piece by @seldo.com I’ve noted some connections on Semble: semble.so/url?id=https... imo protective, ‘fair source’ licensing applied sparingly is perfectly compatible with commercialized registries and helps draw clearer boundaries where there currently are none.

NEW POST I see AI and LLMs as bringing a mix of boons and banes, but one feeling dominates: not just are they pretending to be a person, but the kind of person I don't like. martinfowler.com/articles/202...
