Saw a great talk about handcrafted code by @charity.wtf at #ldx3ny. This talk needs trigger warnings! If you're someone like me who prefers to write code by hand, this talk will force you to consider some uncomfortable questions about what you're really trying to build and why.

Banning foreign vehicles is just hiding our heads in the sand. Better to support our domestic auto industry to help them compete globally, and part of that support includes govt subsidies like the Chinese companies are getting, but part is also letting them feel that competition directly.

@gergely.pragmaticengineer.com don't forget there's always another option: recognize that the goal should not be producing more code but rather more *value*. Once you do that you realize that this volume of PRs is probably getting in the way of achieving the goal. substack.com/home/post/p-...

AI generates more code than devs can track in 2026, so will the code review process have to adapt – or is it doomed? A look into this decades-old practice and the approaches that could replace it

I've found that I really struggle with graphics on an e-reader, not sure I'd even try to read an entire graphic novel on one. For digital a web interface where you can zoom in to view graphic details is much better, but otherwise I agree paper would be the way to go.

True words, from Iain Banks in Consider Phlebas

Screenshot from the book 'Consider Phlebas' by Iain Banks. The passage reads 'Still, the underlying point held; experience as well as common sense indicated that the most reliable method of avoiding self-extinction was not to equip oneself with the means to accomplish it in the first place.'

We've been discussing this at work recently: as a SW engineer, if you're not sure how to do something, then you shouldn't ask Claude to figure it out for you. How are you going to know it's right, and how can you maintain it going forward?

Here’s a new dig for you to learn: A statement similar to Hanlon's razor appears in Robert A. Heinlein's 1941 novella "Logic of Empire". The character Doc in the story describes the "devil theory" fallacy, explaining, "You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity."

Do you find that you have to use extra filtered water? I've read that these really accentuate any impurities in even filtered tap water, so some recommend reverse osmosis or other fancy filtration.

By far the funniest moment in Homer’s Odyssey is when Circe says, “Shall we have sex?” and Odysseus says, “You just turned all my men into pigs. You have the GALL to think I would sleep with you? Of course I will. Absolutely. But don’t do any weird spells”

photograph of the relevant passage in Fitzgerald's translation of the Odyssey ("I make no bed of love with you upon it. Or swear me first a great oath, if I do, you'll work no more enchantment to my harm.")

Exactly. Your experience, thoughts, insight, and feedback are a significant part of the value you bring to any interaction. Why would you willingly give that away to a robot?
