The agenda is being forced upon us. Even our games aren't safe.
A bright sun in a clear blue sky with bold text below stating, "They made the sun bisexual in GTA 6." The word "bisexual" is in a vibrant pink and blue design. "INFOWARS" is written at the bottom.

i think it would be cool if your body could signal to you when you need to drink more water. kinda like how you feel sleepy when you havent had enough caffeine..,or how you get hungry when you skip too many meals in a row

By bringing the power of type systems to systems programming, we hope to open up the "Strait of Hormuz" that currently exists between PL researchers and systems hackers.

If agentic coding actually made engineers more productive you'd see quality go *up*, not down When quality goes down it's because the tool is getting in their way

an old textbook illustration from the 90s poorly trying to explain computers. it has a boy on a desktop and then he's astral projecting with the computer (smoke and sparkles and mist and etc) and the caption just says "remote login is a lot like astral projection"

i was able to go to NJPLS yesterday!!! i had so much fun and presented my in-progress research on developing a type system for automatic energy analysis for embedded systems that use stateful peripherals. i made (a pdf version of) my slides available here: thedeveloper101.github.io/talks/2026-0...
thedeveloper101.github.io
Leveraging Types and Typestate for Peripheral Cost Analysis
I presented in-progress work on developing a type system to automically perform energy cost analysis for embedded systems with stateful peripherals.

start doing computer science <3
START DOING COMPUTER SCIENCE

* VARIABLES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN NAMES
* YEARS OF PROGRAMMING yet STILL MORE TO CREATE
* Don't want to write code anyway? We have a field for you: It's called THEORY
* "Well typed programs don't go wrong." "Boolean satisfiability is NP-complete." "Every effectively calculable function is computable." — Statements dreamed up by the utterly inspired

LOOK at what computer scientists deserve your Respect for all this time, with all the circuits and computers we built for them
(This is REAL computer science, done by REAL computer scientists):

[graph of the ARPANET] the Internet
[photo of an FPGA] FPGAs
[screenshot of RocqIDE] proof assistants

They have given us beautiful tools

have you ever thought javascript spent too much effort on type safety? have you ever wished that runtime error could have been a segfault? do you just hate useful documentation that takes the fun away from guessing how a function should be used? then you should try llvm's c api!

ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players ssh snakes.run to join!

Just reminded myself how hard the ending of Coffin Text Spell 714 goes
Hieroglyphics with translation texts below them that reads

I made my body evolve through my own effectiveness.

I am the one who made me. I built myself as I wished, according to my heart.

type propagation via go channels. distributed type checking with Kafka. Using Amazon sns / sqs for type checking in the cloud. Type checking as a service. Watch out, I'm going to publish an update for your unification variable. Help my skolem ended up in dead letter queue. I won't ack this type.

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"
