Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 05/10/2026What was that for? I was billed £200 by a locksmith for 15 minutes of work. Could have bought my own drill and do the job. 100
Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 05/10/2026Might the point when we should stop paying attention to opinions about *maintaining* software from people l who don’t do that anymore. I remember how speculations were considered harmful. 000

Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 01/10/2026Researching Knowledge Management Theory for half a day can give a good enough cue on where it's going. Play stupid games - win stupid prizes. 000

Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 30/09/2026no longer requires anyone to understand what they are doing or why. The collective processing power increases; the collective intelligence, understood as the capacity to make sense of novel situations the model was not built for, degrades. Supermindlessness is the more accurate description. 101
Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 30/09/2026I’ll quote Dave Snowden: Scale the substitution of explicit instruction for tacit competence across an organisation, and what you get is not a supermind. It is a highly coordinated system of people and machines executing against an explicit model of work that … 110
Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 27/09/2026I cannot click on a video with an adult man having a such a baby face. It's unhinged to present oneself with such an infantile appearance and expected to be taken seriously. 100
Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 27/09/2026Nice. I'm currently writing a letter Dashbit in regard to @josevalim.bsky.social's latest post. We should work as a community to bring experiences from all over the industry, even though sometimes it's an uphill battle with mind-blowing marketing budgets of frontier labs. 000
Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 27/09/2026Do you mean throwing slop grenades at coworkers? 100
Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 27/09/2026Let's turn it around - what can you do with the difference in perspective you have? 000
Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 26/09/2026Understanable. For me it was an antidote to that poison and another glimpse of light ✌️ 000

Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 18/09/2026It seems that the cause of the recent UK flight disruption is an out-of-order message processing bug. The damage is still being estimated - it's somewhere between tens and hundreds of millions: 2,000 flights, affecting more than 330,000 passengers. Passengers are unlikely to be compensated. 000

Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 13/09/2026👏 I'm now curious about your hiring practices. Is there anything public I can read? 000
Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 11/09/2026In other words, it's going where we are taking it. Computational theory says that there are non-computable problems. Knowledge management theory establishes that the recombination of existing external information doesn't lead to the development of new tacit knowledge. 010
Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 10/09/2026It's well known that ignorance is a real blocker in software development. Take a >= 1-year-old project, start from the beginning with full knowledge, and see how fast you get to the same point. LLMs don't help with that. In general they're making people lasier and even more ignorant. 110
Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 10/09/2026The code reuse is the worst. And I can bet £50 it's not going to be solved with LLMs in principle, because navigating abstract/concrete boundary it's a creative process. 110

Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 10/09/2026Something is cooking - this looks like a ex indie-devs forming a land-grabbing conglomerate: rails, tailwind, omarchy. DO and Cloudflare are just a few PaaS businesses joining the scheme. 000
Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 10/09/2026It's not open-source though, it's a dev ux land-grabbing conglomerate: dev framework, css framework and os that they can impose in Spotify. Whilst working on Omarchy DHH built a lot of connections - Cloudflare and DO are few in the infra world. There is a long play here. 030

Yevhenii Kurtov @yevhenii.kurtov.pro · 01/09/2026Whoa, such a nice write. I haven't read a good piece on a distributed elixir for a while. I want to note that "safe" assumes some constraints, i.e. the state is transient, and problems in its handover won't result in data inconsistencies.
