In the galaxy I come from, code quality is the law of the land and OOP simply doesn’t exist. I live and breathe distributed systems and Rust. And yes, I have a soft spot for ’90s cinema. Opinions are my own.
Rewatching Silicon Valley for the 3rd time. The more time passes in this industry, the more I understand the feelings of the main characters.
#NixOS received its first #trademark! This milestone caps four years of Foundation work. Huge thanks to our legal and trademark partners. Next the SC and Board will draft a trademark policy to protect our contributors. Full announcement:
Announcing - NixOS Trademark
Hey Team! Some may have noticed if you’re into searching things up: NixOS has officially received its first trademark in community history! (and we also celebrated a birthday two weeks ago!) This is…

My counter hot-take to this is that unless you're using a language (e.g. erlang) or competently designed+built framework to do message passing, you are very likely to end up building half (or less) of what you actually need to be successful, and it's going to be twice (or more) as verbose.
rain 🌦️@sunshowers.io · last mo.The ability to do shared-memory concurrency imposes a massive burden on the ecosystem, because everyone keeps having to ask "is this dependency thread-safe". Most languages should just stick to message passing and the actor model (99% of the time, it's a better way to build software anyway)
my hotel take is that I don't think your language should allow shared concurrency without a compiler-enforced separation between mutable and immutable state (yes, this means exactly what you think it means)
Betting everything on Tuxedo. Let's see if I regret this choice
Announcing co/core: a social computing experiment from the Graze team
co/core — an AI cooperative
co/core is a cooperative for AI inference — people pooling the Macs they already own to run open models for each other, instead of renting from the big clouds. An experiment in AI infrastructure we bu...

The fact that the US government specifically ordered the suspension of Fable access to non-US citizens (www.anthropic.com/news/fable-m...) raises exactly the kind of technological sovereignty concerns I discussed in my QCon keynote a few months ago (www.infoq.com/presentation...)
Statement on the US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
The US government has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States.

What Europe should do right now: 1. Call all the European researchers working on AI and return them back with same salary (or they can stay but switch career). 2. Fill EU places having GPUs with money, and put those people there. 3. AI partnerships with China + India.
I think I'm going to have a real problem in future interviews when they ask, "What's your AI setup?"
Event Sourcing without DDD is simply signing your death sentence
This is not a moral stance. It's not me saying these things aren't sometimes useful, or that they aren't very impressive anyway. It's an observation of the current practical applicability in my overall work. YMMV.
And this is like a broken record, but yes, some things it does help with (the silly scripts, the CI YAML hell, etc). I just can't seem to get it to hit my quality bar without a lot of effort, which obviously isn't the purpose.
Maybe I'm dating and deprecating myself in a single stroke, but I genuinely struggle seeing a productivity increase from agentic coding. I try, I retry, like every 2-3 weeks. I always end up tired and slow, either from hand-holding in real time or spending hours undoing the slop.
