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

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've been on an AT Protocol podcast binge and I know tons of people hate it here and hate the devs and think the focus should be building something that's just like Twitter but tuned to the hater's particular tastes, but, man, what's getting built has me optimistic about the future of the internet.

This is an important read for anyone alarmed by the AI extinction predictions. To sum it up; extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and that just doesn't exist at the minute.

This is completely insane. The existence of a patch for a project means attackers can build an exploit in minutes. So attackers are actively exploiting vulnerabilities before you have any chance of apply the patch or mitigations.

AI Agents often fail the "Jurrasic Park" test: they become obsessed with what they can do and forget to think about if they "should". To everyone using AI right now -- please keep at least half an eye on *how* your agents are completing tasks. (Credit to @chainguard.dev CTO Matt Moore for this!)

It's okay to suck at something. Draw a bad picture. Write a terrible blog post with typos. Write some bugs in your code. Try and use Heelys and fail. Make an ugly sweater. Get out there and create something. You may suck at it, or you might be sort of good.

Much of my career boils down to: All code is liability. Minimize it. Feedback loops are everywhere. Speed them up; do them more. We're bad at predicting the future. Avoid it. More tests. Hire smart, motivated people, then get out of their way. Find the right thing to turn off and on again.
