I rent skis & boots for the winter season as my kids grow out of things every few months at this stage. The ski place's scheduling software was pretty old and it was a pain to book 2 spots back to back for both kids. I was pleasantly surprised to see a whole new system this year that was awesome.

Great piece by the @bostonglobe.com calling out the ridiculous tactics deployed by firearms dealers in Massachusetts who want to overturn laws that save lives, all to sell more guns into our community. Vote Yes on 9 in MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/12/m...

The group trying to repeal the state’s gun safety laws are appealing to women. It might also help sell more guns.

I keep repeating this fun fact to people while they stare at me with feigned interest: “helicopter” is a compound word, but probably not in the way you think! it’s made up of “helico” as in, “spiral,” from the Greek “helix” and “pter” as in “wing,” like in pterodactyl!!

Gun suicide is an urgent public health crisis that claims the lives of nearly 27,000 people in America every year. But there is hope. These tragedies are preventable, and one of the most effective life-saving interventions for someone in crisis is disrupting their access to a gun.

This resonated. I read it right after reading a long and clearly AI-generated email to a local politics email list that was somehow simultaneously overheated/empty and divided by meaningless subheadings. It's like reading bubblewrap. www.404media.co/your-ai-use-...
What’s driving me crazy, then, is not the idea that AI exists or that people are using AI. It’s that I have a finite time on this earth that I mostly want to spend interacting with other human beings. I don’t want to be the person arguing with a robot, or wasting my time reading something that a real person couldn’t be bothered to write.

The real story is worse.
X
November 2025: Amazon mandates Kiro as their only Al coding tool. Sets an 80% weekly usage target. 1,500 engineers protest internally, saying Claude Code outperforms it. Leadership pushes through anyway.
December: Kiro autonomously deletes a production AWS environment. 13-hour outage.
Amazon's response: "user error, not Al autonomy."
March 5: Amazon[.Jcom goes down for 6 hours.
Checkout, pricing, accounts — all gone.
Now the same SVP who co-signed the Kiro mandate is running an emergency meeting about "high blast radius" incidents from "Gen-Al assisted changes."
The agent inherited a senior engineer's permissions and acted like one — except it doesn't hesitate.
1,500 engineers said the tool wasn't ready.
Leadership made adoption a KPI. Amazon told Wall Street it's spending $200B on Al this year.
They can't walk it back.
This isn't an Al failure. It's what happens when adoption becomes a corporate OKR before the review process catches up.
+
The tools work. The org chart didn't.

Don’t let influencers fool you, coding with AI (Claude Code / Codex / Gemini) still takes a lot of work. You may be more productive, but expect long hours and many late nights. It’s like creating a 15-minute short using AI. It may look easy, but it often takes weeks of trials to produce that video.
