Lula and Zelensky are the two single most important leaders in the world today. We have a lot to learn from both

There's a lot of people who never made charts with data making Claude charts with data and I'm going to go against the tide and say I like it. I really don't care if it's messy. Lots of my programmer friends are trying to unlock analyzing data and never really have before. I think it's cool

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

one of the key factors in the souring of Silicon Valley culture is the whole "acceptance of failure" element... it's one thing to not let the failure of some enterprise SaaS startup hold you back, but when your startup causes children to self-harm at scale maybe that failure should stick with you

TMiR 2026-09: React 19.3; a eulogy to software engineering?

who names a kid Chuba Hubbard

for the most part, if you know somebody's name they're just a dumbass pawn to power, though maybe rich as hell

hot take: software people are going to regret not unionizing when we could

The "you're almost out of storage" nag on google services is insane. Constant nudging every time I use Drive or Gmail or Photos for the past YEAR, without making any effort to intentionally conserve space. Gee guess it can't be as urgent as you're suggesting can it??

"couldn't focus long enough to follow through" it me

the hard parts of building a business are - solving a real problem for real people - ignoring shiny ideas that are fun but distracting - prioritizing boring stuff that moves the needle - connecting with customers if anything, AI makes it *harder* to build a successful business

Honestly, I think a lot of this comes out of spaces and situations where intentionally reading 'the enemy' - be that a high school rival, a political outsider, another academic, whatever - in bad faith is rewarded as a display of group solidarity, a demonstration of belonging through hate.

I just don't think most people are capable of talking through their problems well enough to get the AI to solve it, because most people can't talk through their problems well enough for human programmers to implement solutions to them. Do you think AI will cross that chasm somehow?

I think there's a positive correlation between ability to write a good job description and ability to successfully execute AI usage at a company

Today we're launching ai-policy.dev! A collaboration of me, @danielroe.dev and @matteogabriele.npmx.social - this provides a few human curated AI contribution policies you can choose from. Our hope is that this will help you better define your stance and what kind of contributions you accept 🙏

jokes on you i am also addicted to arguing (but in a less likeable way)

I shut them down when the someone in the in-game forum started recruiting for a cult and my agents burned my weekly limit theorycrafting someone's fake religion
