You can tell AI has truly arrived because even the village council's event flyer features a six-fingered hand holding what might be a tomato.

Software engineering feels like being a pilot now. The autopilot does all the flying and you're mainly there to look responsible when things go sideways. Which they will. At 3am.
Got a telescope for my birthday. It's been raining every night since except once or twice. Is this a sign from the universe?

Le fait que les conseillers municipaux soient ordonnés par âge, ça sent vraiment le régime de merde.
Whether you're an aging developer or a youngster, this podcast is worth a listen. Our profession doesn't really consider the elder as it should. corecursive.com/the-aging-p...
The Aging Programmer
Kate Gregory has been writing C++ for over forty years. Books, keynotes, a consulting firm she built from the ground up. At sixty-three, she's one of the most experienced programmers alive. She surveyed hundreds of software engineers about getting older. What scares you? What's changed? What have you lost? The things people feared most — memory, stamina, keeping up — weren't the real threats. The stuff that was actually breaking down was mostly fixable. A bad knee wasn't aging, it was a torn cartilage. Wrist pain disappeared when she changed how she slept. But buried in the research was something harder to fix. The single factor that predicted whether you'd age well or badly had nothing to do with your body at all. The opponent isn't aging. The opponent is the story about aging.

Any e-commerce site in 2026 that makes you pay for returns and hands you store credit instead of a real refund deserves to disappear. I thought we settled this.

Software jobs are increasing not decreasing. Jevons law strikes again! Useful idiots will need to adjust their narratives.
Now I get where our reputation comes from. I watched an old Claude Sautet film and all I saw was cigarettes, drinks, cigars, wine, more smokes, beer, wine.
Excited to try out this standardized approach to running data migrations in Elixir projects: medium.com/@ivymarkwel... It always feels like a gray area, no matter which teams I work with. This approach adds some much-needed structure to the process.

If I had to guess, you’re probably using at least three different approaches to do data migrations in production today:

Migrating from 1Password to Proton Pass is really easy. The only problem I found so far is that the Proton Pass ssh-agent doesn't find the imported ssh keys in my Vault 😐

Just got an email that the Neato robot vacuum app is shutting down. No more no-go zones or coverage checks. This is exactly why we need more free and open-source tech in our lives.
If I had a penny for every time a WhatsApp user mistakenly shared a private document as a public status update instead of in a conversation, I’d be rich AF.
