I'm a stalwart proponent of the following stack: @edera.dev , @chainguard.bsky.social and @amutable.com . If I were any large corp, I'd drop almost everything and focus on security right now. The entire business world is built on trust, and right now I'd upgrade your tinfoil hat to DEFCON 2 or 1.

I've never trusted these companies or... most companies TBH. From a security perspective, I have a total separate hardware encryption device with no internet to store passwords. Why?!? B/c you'd have to literally break into my f'ing house and somehow crack that device to gain access.

My intuition says that the next recession will be brutal. I feel like the fed + gov-debt + overinflated expectations are just a witch's brew.

It seems like we are slowly meandering into the biggest debt crisis... maybe ever. While tech bro's are prognosticing the impossible because apparently they've offloaded their prefrontal cortex to LLMs. We are in a circus world right now.

Peak AI Waste: I made a PR check to cap the number of em-dashes in a file. Two PRs merged in parallel in the merge queue adding em-dashes, breaking the check on main. Then 5 parallel sessions decided to fix it in different ways, causing cyclic conflicts, rebasing, and retesting.

I've always said building agentic systems inside your org is a terrible sin where you should just codegen and architect your systems for a plethora of reasons. Now the hacking vector is so fucking wide - www.technologyreview.com/2026/07/30/1...

A fundamental flaw leaves LLMs strikingly vulnerable to attack

It makes it easy to trick them into doing things they shouldn’t, such as telling you how to sabotage an aircraft’s navigation system.

Fascinating read - openreview.net/pdf?id=klU47..., which will be promptly ignored by all AI CEOs, because it undercuts their story.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

So maybe it's me, but I think Agentic services are dumb as hell and just a money extraction system... At this point, just design a service to run on X with codegen, and save your tokens.

Didn’t see this coming. Another Senate race to watch closely. Lindsey Graham spent years acting like South Carolina belonged to him. The voters might have other plans. Dr. Annie Andrews is at 45%, and among informed voters, she leads Graham 46% to 43%.

A massive Georgia data center drained nearly 30 million gallons of water, sparking outrage among local residents asked to conserve water during a drought. Residents of Fayetteville, Georgia, first noticed something was wrong when their home water pressure mysteriously plummeted.

I think AI psychosis amongst the broligarchy is at a wild disconnect from the rest of the population, including technologists (like myself). The accelerationism they desire is incompatible with the technology and society. We are trending towards pitchforks faster than they know.
