Trying out Yazi, the TUI file explorer. It's great, but doesn't play nicely with Zellij for image previews unfortunately. Works great with Ghostty though.

Super interesting discussion about Jev with some excellent examples. Jev very much living up to its name (Jevon's paradox), showing how so many previously too-expensive LLM use cases now become possible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAII...

Jev: 8 real use cases this fast, cheap model

Typesafe.ai 's Jev showing it's utility in this Mastra workflow categorizing 100 business products into a category tree. The whole batch took less than two seconds compared to the (not good N+1) 26 seconds it took to write and publish the results back to our API.

It would be great to have a follow (but no retweets (unless quoted?)) button on BlueSky. So disappointing when you see someone you'd like to follow, but then find their timeline is almost exclusively retweets.

Being able to understand, operate, and effectively use the cutting edge technology of your time has _never_ been a bad career choice. I would encourage any young person to ignore the FUD and join the party.

I don’t believe companies expect software development to durably exist as a profession in a decade or two. So this question is like asking who will be the senior milkmen and telephone switchboard operators?

The world is just moving too fast. I just took a deepish dive into Typesafe.AI's Jev, and Firecrawl's Alexandria today, and it's made me think I should just rip up and start again on some of the Mastra workflows I've been working on for the last couple of months. Hey ho.

I've been using zed.dev almost exclusively as my main IDE for most of this year, with a brief diversion to Cursor. It's really good as a traditional IDE, but the agent harness is very nice to use too. The main thing I'm missing now are good database tools.

Zed — Your last next editor

Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

zed.dev

I've changed from using Cursor to Zed for agentic coding. Using the Zed built in agent harness which displays all the "thinking" output from the LLM. One interesting observation is how often the LLM has repeating thoughts: "I'm noticing ..." over and over.

GitHub is facing a Tsunami of code!

Currently experimenting with creating an AI generated corpus of business information. We're starting from a large curated list of business "challenges". We will then index it and use it as input into an agentic chatbot. The hunch is that this will provide more value than a straight chat-with-GPT.

My UK client is looking for a snr software engineer with XP experience on the JVM - Kotlin preferred but not essential. £90K-£120K. Not a bank. Not a blockchain something something. Established start-up with actual customers like in the old days. OSS tools that developers use.

Pevensy Castle this weekend. Crazy that I've not visited before. A Norman Castle inside a massive Roman fort. It must have been very impressive in its heyday.

Crazy having a national-news-story trail derailment just a short distance from my house. I walk up and down the riverside footpath next to where the train came off the track, between Lewes and Offham, all the time. I guess I won't be going to London any time soon!

Sitting a cafe "working", watching Claude generate code for me. On another table, two middle aged gents are discussing AI: "It's all a complete scam, it doesn't work, and loads of people are being swindled by it."

There is a huge amount of "cope" among arts people who claim they can spot AI prose (for example) and that it's sub-standard, but then pay $2m for a crime novel that later turns out to be AI generated. I'm tempted to ask if it really matters if a book is AI generated so long as you enjoy it?

"Meat Proxy" that's a great term. gruhn.me/blog/2026-08...

Amazing how many of my late 50s / early 60s friends rail against being called middle-aged and insist that they are still young, as if by sheer force of will they can magic away their greying hair and wrinkling skin.

This is a good read. I do think people misunderstand what humans are actually designed for - we're highly optimized survival machines. Survival and reproduction in the physical world is not the same as being good at maths or coding, which are probably by-products. www.noahpinion.blog/p/what-will-...

What will more intelligence actually do for us?

A lot, actually. But it won't look quite like what humans do with our intelligence.

Today to Charleston in Lewes for the Walter Sickert and Gladys Hynes exhibitions. Dimly aware of Sickert before, but I'd never heard of Hynes. Her exhibition turned out to be the most interesting, especially on the interwar art world that she was a part of.

I had a very interesting time at the Typescript AI conference in London on Thursday. It was hosted by Mastra, the TS agent framework that we're using to build an agentic experience over a CMS. Lots of interesting stuff, especially around running agents in production.

We need a word for non-AI computing. You know, the old thing with deterministic programs. I wonder how long it will be before most people can't discern the boundary between AI and non-AI computing?
