I want to believe that the development team at Google who worked on this YouTube app update actually wrote this.
A YouTube iOS App update (Version 20.47.3) from 2 days ago that reads “Fixed bugs, improved performance, drank way too much coffee.”

How is this not bigger news in tech/security circles. Jaguar Land Lover lost $250M (£200M) and counting thanks to a cyberattack that it still couldn’t mitigate. This is growing every week. The cost of underinvesting in security is very real. 1+ month recovery is bonkers

One more reminder that Slack is a terrible choice for communities, and extorts even nonprofits. Even when it’s one teaching teens to code, for free. Hack Club is moving to Mattermost. They really have no choice. Just a poor taste how Slack demands $50K in a week, no real notice

@briancasel.com do you perceive “standards” and “conventions” as synonyms in a context engineering scope? Personally, I find conventions more inclusive and less judgemental. More about sharing than right/wrong. I think the jargon “conventions” over “standards” might impact adoption of agent os.

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.
Windows Notepad, the native simple text editor, now has formatting options and a Copilot button.

Hard to phrase it better. Simon has been a superb software engineer before LLMs (he created Django and many others.) He’s been using and experimenting with these tools, uses them better than most of us devs and remains a superb software engineer. Some things don’t change

Just while wondering about digital modals and feature buttons, why do pedestrians have to press a button to prove their need? Shouldn’t equitable street use mean drivers need to request to cross too? I know that’s a silly question but the underlying privilege of car-centric design creates it. 1/2
Photos of pedestrian road crossing buttons from USA, Israel, Switzerland and Germany with text question - what if drivers had to press the button to cross a road junction

Black and white image of Iranian author Marjane Satrapi, smoking a cigarette. "The world is not divided between east and west. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

@snarky.ca now that pylock is accepted, have you given thought to standardising the frontend implementation of Python build hooks? Current state has no universal implementation. Each tool does it’s own thing which limits portability and perhaps reproducibility.

It really is such masculine energy to blame things on a woman who no longer works at the company www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...
Mr. Zuckerberg was amenable. He signaled to Mr. Miller and his colleagues, including other senior Trump advisers, that he would do nothing to obstruct the Trump agenda, according to three people with knowledge of the meeting, who asked for anonymity to discuss a private conversation. Mr. Zuckerberg said he would instead focus solely on building tech products.

Mr. Zuckerberg blamed his former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, for Facebook’s culture, according to one of the people with knowledge of the meeting. He said new guidelines and a series of layoffs amounted to a reset and that more changes were coming.
