What defines a correct program? What education makes a good programmer? The answer depends on what culture of programming you subscribe to! This has been a long time in the making, but my open access book on the history of programming is available for pre-order! www.cambridge.org/core/books/c...

icymi, in the Matrix State of the Union they said they didn't plan on pursuing decentralized social media, but they do hope to make it easier for those ecosystems to use Matrix so they don't have to reinvent what Matrix has already done

Screenshot of The Matrix State of the Union stram showing a powerpoint with the text:
The Future
- We're going to continue to laser-focus on being the best decentralized secure comms platform in the world.
- That means we're not going to purse decentralized social - good luck to ATproto, ActivityPub, Nostr etc.
- It means we're not going to pursue free-style decentralized data replication - good luck to Automerge, Beehive, Local-First etc.
- It means we're not going to build other Matrix showcases (e.g. Thirdroom)
- Instead, we are going to continue focusing everything on building a safe, global, resilient, secure communication network which can be used to build decentralized alternatives to WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Teams, Slack, Discord and friends.

Screenshot of The Matrix State of the Union video showing a powerpoint with white background and black text that reads:
In practice, this means:
- Finish Hydra.
- Fix client-controlled cryptographic group membership (either by MLS, DMLS, or client-side state resolution.
- Improve metadata posture (Pseudo IDs, encrypted state events, maybe leveraging MLS)
- Improving Trust & Safety
- Ensuring that ecosystem-driven features like custom profiles, custom emoji, etc. actually land in the spec.
- Figuring out how Matrix can be used by other ecosystems more effectively, to try to avoid ATproto/ActivityPub/Nostr/Beehive etc. reinventing Matrix.

At Heroku, we basically destroyed a generation of folks personal projects when we deprecated various free plans. (My own software died too.) Now Glitch is making the hard decision to do the same: blog.glitch.com/post/changes... The lesson is simple: don't build in the cloud if you want it to last.

One of the first picutres to use now-routine techniques like surface shaders, the 'Road to Point Reyes' (1983) took a team of Lucasfilms engineers an entire month to render.

$A scene of a road facing away from the viewer, viewing a bay that shows Point Reyes. The road is rained over; puddles reflect the wrought iron fence and the fractal bushes, while grass is blooming to either side of the road; translucent rainbows guide the viewer's eye to the distant landscape. A sheer cliff blocks line of sight to the left.$

A folder of all the files for a project is perfect context to feed to an AI. When the “project” is spread across cloud silos (Figma, Notion, Dropbox…) it’s harder to gather all relevant info. Interesting to consider what this implies!
