I can now comfortably say I’m at least 2x more productive with AI. I’m also context switching like crazy, as I want to take care of everything, so I’m much more tense and exhausted because of the cognitive load. Parallel agents are great and also a trap for my mental wellbeing.
Anatomy of an AI Kill Chain A visual project from Airwars and @ainowinstitute.bsky.social breaks down how artificial intelligence is transforming every aspect of war - and how militaries are offloading life and death decisions to flawed technologies ai-killchain.airwars.org

Does your company still organize offsites with planned activities and icebreakers? I’m still surprised to see them doing this, especially sports activities where you’re forced to mingle with other people. I don’t see many people enjoying it and there are many other ways to let people meet each other
It is sad to see conversations between colleagues fade away as people turn to AI instead. "Ask AI first," says the manager. Working remotely make it worst. Thanks they are other places to have conversations.
The Bun rewrite as a subplot in Anthropic's campaign to end software engineering. Call me crazy, but I not want my vendors to be on a campaign to end software engineering. I believe that to be counter-productive. Does that make sense? raymyers.org/post/zig-cre...

Rails' embarrassing racist daddy is now calling for the ethnic cleansing of Europe over on his blog, but it's fine because he's nice to people at conferences.

All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed. Girkin confessed that is was russians. NL courts agreed
Check out Flux Schema! Our brand new #FluxCD CLI plugin that validates manifests and helps AI Agents stop hallucinating Kubernetes YAML. After extensive benchmarks my conclusion is that the Flux Schema MCP Server gets you 57% fewer tokens compared to web tools. fluxcd.io/blog/2026/07...
Introducing Flux Schema and the Ecosystem Catalog
Static validation for GitOps workflows with Kubernetes API server semantics, a schema catalog for the CNCF ecosystem, and a public MCP server for AI agents.

RubyEvents Guides is now live. Over the last few months, I talked to Rubyists who want to help the community keep going. Some want to restart a local meetup. Some are organizing their first small conference. Some already run events and want to make the next one better.

Deploying our application at work caused a significant memory regression. We accidentally removed some precompiled platform-specific binaries from Gemfile.lock after a merge conflict. It turns out this causes Bundler to fetch the full RubyGems.org index at runtime. How do you guard against that?

Today’s premium newsletter is part 1 of my "What If...We're In An AI Bubble?" series, covering the scenarios that could burst the bubble - starting with token-based billing's destruction of most AI products, and the slow collapse of data center construction. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-what...
Premium: What If...We're In An AI Bubble? (Part 1)
Every day I read some sort of wrongheaded extrapolation about the future of AI — that today’s models are somehow indicative of AGI creating a “permanent underclass” of people that stops people from bu...

I want a new company rule: your public announcements on Slack should fit in less than half the height of a 13" screen at default zoom. 😅
Benoit Tigeot@benoittgt.bsky.social · 3mo agoI'm getting bored with all the internal comms coming from AI agents. It fills up the whole screen on Slack and email. Super verbose. Nobody has time to read so much. It's a mix of proof you use AI, laziness, and wasting your colleagues' time. Re-read, amend, improve your prompt at least...
Same feeling with recent videos about AI agents. People are super hyped about 3-line Claude skills... but spend 20min explaining why it's so cool. Come on. Be succinct. Same as verbose AI output: too many words for a small outcome. It's exhausting to filter through to get the real content.
