You can tell AI has truly arrived because even the village council's event flyer features a six-fingered hand holding what might be a tomato.

Spent years getting the family elders comfortable with WhatsApp. Now we're migrating to Signal. Pretty sure this is what Sisyphus felt like, except the boulder sends encrypted messages.

Software engineering feels like being a pilot now. The autopilot does all the flying and you're mainly there to look responsible when things go sideways. Which they will. At 3am.

Whether you're an aging developer or a youngster, this podcast is worth a listen. Our profession doesn't really consider the elder as it should. corecursive.com/the-aging-p...

The Aging Programmer
Kate Gregory has been writing C++ for over forty years. Books, keynotes, a consulting firm she built from the ground up. At sixty-three, she's one of the most experienced programmers alive. She surveyed hundreds of software engineers about getting older. What scares you? What's changed? What have you lost? The things people feared most — memory, stamina, keeping up — weren't the real threats. The stuff that was actually breaking down was mostly fixable. A bad knee wasn't aging, it was a torn cartilage. Wrist pain disappeared when she changed how she slept. But buried in the research was something harder to fix. The single factor that predicted whether you'd age well or badly had nothing to do with your body at all. The opponent isn't aging. The opponent is the story about aging.

Excited to try out this standardized approach to running data migrations in Elixir projects: medium.com/@ivymarkwel... It always feels like a gray area, no matter which teams I work with. This approach adds some much-needed structure to the process.

If Teams uses the same emojis as Slack and Apple but with a different design, does that mean an intern at Microsoft had to review all of them and suggest a cartoony style? Did they hold meetings to approve the design for each emoji? I'm curious about the process.
