The stealth company I co-founded has a name: Hadronic. Java has a strong future, AI and agents are here to stay, and the best way to predict this future is to invent it. Why, and who we are hiring: emmanuelbernard.com/blog/2026/09...

I’m going to write a desktop app for my son/classroom. It has to run on windows, but cross platform is better. Going with Electron and some React looks like the easy choice. Any other stack recommendation? Kotlin Compose?

Bugs Rust won't catch: lessons learned from uutils CVEs. No memory corruption, but logic bugs solved with more defensive programming, like TOCTOU that become attack windows in privileged code, or assuming that file paths or text are valid UTF-8. And take Hyrum's law seriously in a rewrite.

Some @github.com productivity tips with @vivaldi.com 1. Pin important issues 2. Pin the notifications center, and set a periodic reload (like 5 minutes) so you don't have to worry again about GitHub not doing basic reload in 2026 3. Stack related issues + pull-request tabs so they are together

Business model of agentic coding: - create "agents" that provide illusion of intelligence using tons of markdown band-aid - market hype of tools replacing smart humans, suggesting spans of engineering / science / businesses are dead - create FOMO so people subscribe - charge tokens, profit.

I'm using the Vivaldi browser for productivity these days. Some of the features like tab periodic reload are a game changer. A good example is the GitHub notifications centers that is not live, doesn't sync deterministically with tabs on issues / PRs: live reload is one of these things. vivaldi.com
