Had an absolute pleasure to meet amazing Peter Anh from @tigerbeetle.com yesterday. @tigerbeetle.com, like @restate.dev, is at the forefront of software innovation, opening new horisons for teams that are going beyond "using PostgreSQL for everything". A part of a new, exciting wave.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

I want to explore the world. I want to glaze at a vast night sky and be amazed by wonder

It seems that the cause of the recent UK flight disruption is an out-of-order message processing bug. The damage is still being estimated - it's somewhere between tens and hundreds of millions: 2,000 flights, affecting more than 330,000 passengers. Passengers are unlikely to be compensated.

Forty minutes of sanity for all those who are sick of all the AI drama.

Session 1: wide events, traces, and instrumenting your code with OpenTelemetry, including where AI-assisted instrumentation actually helps. Built for engineering leaders working through the book with their teams. Class is in session, starting Aug 3 through mid-Oct! Register: go.hny.co/3TY4Imq

This is the second most important technical non-technical talk I know. A real tour de force. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLZw...

His mother, María Arthuer, crossed the Sahara Desert barefoot in 1994. She climbed over Melilla’s border fence penniless and pregnant with Iñaki. Today, her son is a world champion. #respect

If we are talking about future of #ai I'm in the same camp with Federico Faginn. He made great appearance in this show www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FUF... And that's why I think LeCun's AMI will outdo Anthropic and OpenAI but ultimately will not reach intelligence.

@antithesis.com , @martin.kleppmann.com thanks peeps! I'll surely do

In this day and age a genuine, meaningful human collaboration in tech in a privilege. I think companies who stick to that would do really well.

This is an outstanding paper: "no one seems able to think of turns of speech that are not hackneyed: prose consists less and less of words chosen for the sake of their meaning, and more and more of phrases tacked together like the sections of a prefabricated henhouse." bioinfo.uib.es/~joemiro/Rec...

I wanted to grab DeltaWalker for a few years, but never quite came to a point to part with $60 for it. But recently I saw it on bundlehunt.com and now I have best in class native macOS diff checker for less than $9.

💥 Elixir PSA: update Plug *immediately* to the latest possible (1.20.1) The latest CVE makes it trivially easy to DOS a plug based server. cna.erlef.org/cves/CVE-202... This one is a doozy stay safe out there and keep your deps updated! #elixir-lang

It took me an evening to get initial understanding of how to use GenServer and about four days for it to really click. And year and a half till the first "ahha" with Leitmotif. For some reason GenServer also brought more satisfaction.

What I see during the hiring process is that EU/UK market doesn't financially reward professional growth after a certain point. IMO it's because most of the businesses still don't know how to make the best use of the digital phenomena. Software is a revolution that still didn't fully catch up.

You can't not love UK for this 🇬🇧❤️

Hey guys, We are hiring for mid/senior engineers to come work with us on a health tech product ats.rippling.com/dyad/jobs/93... It's a remote role within UK due to the data governance regulations. Please share for reach. #elixir

🚨 Update hackney 🚨 A **bunch** of vulnerabilities I reported in hackney were just disclosed. Please upgrade to 4.0.1 ASAP. I know this is gonna start dependency hell so please take some time for this. Please RT for reach. #ElixirLang cna.erlef.org/cves/

The biggest motivation for me to make my own business over all the years was my preferred working rhythm: I like to think walking in the park. I like to explore small avenues and corners of various solutions that come to my mind. And implement it only then.

I highly recommend this if you're like me - a backend developer looking to understands CSS better. Together with @joshwcomeau.com course it's really what moved the needle for me.

That's so heartwarming, positive and reassuring. I hope UK can become a world leader in meaningfully transforming the tax system to build a healthier society. Go UK 🇬🇧

The ongoing stream of software engineering pieces that mention that the future is in writing spec but never bother to define what a specification is or at what abstraction levels it should be is appalling; arguably, tickets are a spec, the code is a spec, and work between both is connecting dots.

Because consistency is boring, and HMRC Software Development Team is all about living large. One landmine at a time, one landmine at a time....

After depleting Claude Design budget you can export design into Paper.Design and edit there. I don't know any other tool that would allow to embed Claud Design into a workflow with such efficiency.

It's my reading of the quote added to the picture of the response, but not the quote itself.

Yes, this is a survival bias. Yes, I resonate with this.

Can we please have that in London?

A former coworker with 8 years of #ElixirLang experience is looking for work. I can vouch for him being a careful, thorough engineer, and a real "manager of one." If he builds something, you can be confident it'll be solid and well thought out. Reach out here: www.linkedin.com/in/kylevsteg...

This is absolutely amazing and mind-blowing in the best possible way podcast www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3ls... Biology is indeed a new frontier.

Here is a bad thing about "evaluation-driven development". It's a good thing until it's not. And at some point every piece of code is not. But if you wrote it, then you can improve, if LLM wrote it, it's "Make no mistakes" ⌨️🐒. #LLM #AICode #VibeCoding #SoftwareEngineering #TechTakes
