I saw “Phantom of the Opera” at a theater in Chicago over the weekend. I don’t know if it was sold out, but I didn’t see any empty seats. I think theater attendance is doing OK.
Megan McArdle   “And since boycotting the Kennedy Center has costs--some of the patrons who don't show up now will get out of the habit of going to the theater and be less likely to attend future performances--I'd like to hear some discussion of whether the tradeoff is worth it.”

Shot and chaser 🤣
software development in 2026 is going to require some to loosen up a little
code doesn't have to be as perfectly crafted the way we did it pre-ai
call it slop if you want, but if you're still demanding perfection on every pr while your competitors are shipping "slop" that works... you're fighting from a disadvantaged position
shipping velocity matters more than perfection don't make many predictions, but I think here is a slow pitch directly over the plate...

 over the plate...
As more companies turn to using Al generated code, criminal hackers and digital incident responders will be overwhelmed with work.

So this was an opinion piece on Fox News before news of Biden’s cancer broke. I can’t imagine how intellectually broken one has to be to write this AND green light to be published.

Not the company list, but my spouse works at a religious based immigration service. Know what they do, they help resettle refugees from Afghanistan who helped the US and are being hunted by the Taliban. What did Mr Flynn do:
Michael Thomas Flynn (born 24 December 1958) is a retired United States Army lieutenant general and convicted felon who was the 24th U.S. national security advisor[2] for the first 22 days of the first Trump administration. He resigned in light of reports that he had lied regarding conversations with Russian ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak. Flynn's military career included a key role in shaping U.S. counterterrorism strategy and dismantling insurgent networks in the Afghanistan

Salted Caramel is awesome in coffee. Winter Citrus is amazing in a Winter Mojito. Winter Citrus is absolutely spew worthy coffee 🤮, and the likeness trips me up if I am not paying attention 🤣

There is not a good way to share LinkedIn comments, but I have been living this for the past month @hillelwayne.com
I did TDD, and then I started dealing with distributed systems involving vendors who could break their code on a whim and refuse to roll out fixes for six months, and that's when I learned that developers who can get all their problems solved with TDD live in a blessed and wonderful world I will never, ever inhabit again

(I still do TDD, I just do a million other techniques now too)

Apparently Google doesn’t do things like “Google does”🤣
Today’s fun fact: We made stuff up when writing the Google SRE books. They’re a phenomenal source of wisdom, because even the fabricated parts were dreamt up by incredibly wise people, but don’t think *everything* in them was actually practiced by many, or in some cases any.
