Far-right parties in Belgium call for "antifa" bans. The UK's Reform Party is adopting policy positions that are a “copy and paste” of Trump’s. The American flag is a symbol for Brazil's far-right. As Trump tears apart the US, experts worry that other countries may dismantle themselves too.

Something broke in September. You can see it in car loan defaults, hiring intentions, layoffs. Government shutdown garnished with threats to not pay workers later on is the October twist.

From a CTO WhatsApp group I'm in

Message in CTO WhatsApp group:

I did a code and architecture review for a company yesterday who had vibe coded their MVP - there were no common classes, modules, functions, etc. every "feature" was a separate file with literally a main method full of all the code required for that one function - no reuse anywhere and loads of bits of code that were declared but never used, variable names that didn't make sense, the same variables defined everywhere, etc. Because they were quite far down this path the tidy-up process is going to be a long and difficult road

Another unnecessary gas inquiry: Australian gas could be for Australians first tomorrow. All sides of politics have acknowledged that there is no gas shortage, with Chris Bowen telling the Press Club that Australia has “plenty of gas.” Our research shows 80% of Australia’s gas is exported. #auspol

Victoria has driven a huge reduction in residential gas use since it peaked in 2019-20. Down 18.6 PJ per annum since then - this is HUGE! Equivalent to electrifying the entire gas consumption of every single household in QLD, WA and Tassie (15.9 PJ) and then some.
