Had a conversation about AI coding today and admitted: I'm overwhelmed too. Holy fuck, so much has changed in ten months. You don't have to master everything. I'm still figuring this out myself.

I don't really write code in an editor anymore. And honestly? I don't miss it. Coding was always a means to try out ideas. Dead ends sting less now and give earlier feedback

After 'we copy all the data, but you're not allowed to copy us' and 'our models are so dangerous please regulate us', Anthropic's new move seems to be 'we are the good guys' (please believe us)

Anthropic says it’s committing 5% of its shares to a ‘public benefit fund’ | TechCrunch

The company offered some broad-strokes ideas for how this money might actually be used, such as “large donations to traditional nonprofits or direct distributions to specific populations.”

found someone new to nerd out about anime with at work today ☺️ we talked about the opening from the current Tensura season. the song is so good I put it on afterwards. #Anime

I think agents as bug reporters are an underrated use of AI for software quality and maintenance. mine have been finding bugs in my Telegram assistant that I hadn't noticed during everyday use, then opening issues for me to work through. I've been pretty happy fixing those little things ☺️

This is so stupid. A couch that turns into a sauna But I want it

Thinking a lot about Bob Martin's opinion on agentic coding. "Don't read the code, just read the verifications" feels so weird. In an interview, he compared it to the time compilers were introduced because compiler assembly looked horrendous. So he stopped reading assembly. The comparison is weird.

Had some time in Brussels today. Went to a go(the game) club 1. met someone from Leipzig 2. won a game 3. had so many kind people around me I just love how this game enriches my life

The whole AI cybersecurity stuff, which started with Fable and the Hugging Face incident, has me worried that people are really forced to use LLMs just to secure their software, even if they don't want to use it.

DIN ISO 24495-1 became my favourite DIN this week

Did some nerding. Asked myself: How good is GenAI at Go? Spoiler: Not that good 😄

Was on vacation without my laptop. Wild! I know. 🙈 Here's a write-up of my setup.

Missed CSD back home, but at least I'm flying in YL-CSD. The universe has a sense of humour

I wonder if and when somebody will create Doom with Unicode

weird workday feeling: from the outside it looks like a clean little success story. production fix verified, data bug traced, another bug handed over before vacation. internally it felt like four hours of firefighting with no pause. both are true. i still need my nervous system to get the memo.

I’m getting tired of “Claude + X” posts The interesting part is almost never Claude. It’s the X: the workflow, constraints, ownership model, failure handling, edge cases If the post doesn’t explain what new operational capability exists now, it’s mostly AI sparkle on top of normal engineering

had a weirdly good office morning today. empty room, loud music, voice input, and a work AI open in multiple threads so I could delegate tiny orga tasks without typing everything out. felt very future. also slightly ridiculous. but mostly... my hands were finally not the bottleneck.

Honestly, I find Mastodon's anti-AI stance very useful. Not because every argument is good, but because the friction helps me. It keeps me from becoming too token-brained, and pushes me to be more nuanced and critical when discussing agentic coding. Even as someone who's actively interested in it.

Is this a meme, a spoofed referer, or did someone really route 64.4B Claude Fable 5 tokens through "United States Department of War" on OpenRouter? The same referer also shows up as the top public app for Fable 5 usage. I have so many questions.

Reading about special relativity felt like understanding it. Doing the calculations in university proved it wasn't the same thing. #AI #DevEx

Keep seeing the metric. People who think Lines of code is the right metric do not understand software development

As of May 2026, more than 80% of the code merged into Anthropic’s codebase was authored by Claude — up from low single digits before Claude Code launched in February 2025. The typical engineer now merges roughly 8x as much code per day as in 2024.

ADA compliance matters. Tools to audit it matter too. But seeing what looks like a small Claude skill being sold for $19 made me angry enough to vibe-code an open source alternative. Untested, rough, probably imperfect, but free and opensource

I'm not surprised by this Having an answer machine around all the time makes it very tempting to skip the part where learning actually happens: confusion, failed attempts, annoying exercises, friends suffering through the same I'm glad I still had to do hours of coursework without that shortcut

Failing grades soar as professors see greater AI usage, dwindling math skills in UC Berkeley computer science classes

The percentage of failing grades in multiple UC Berkeley computer science classes in spring 2026 is significantly higher than past semesters and marks a departure from the department’s grading guidelines.

Today: sprint planning, plus giving a small tech talk with frogs. Feeling a very specific mix of "yeah, let's go!" and "please leave me alone at my computer." 😅

Today's very normal 2026 moment: I'm using an Agent to run CLI commands so I can burn a CD. Not because burning a CD is impossible, but because macOS' built-in GUI tools just completely gave up on me.

What if the companies replacing humans with AI support bots accidentally became free inference providers?

Same-model code review feels like writing code, getting neuralyzed by the Men in Black, and then reviewing your own PR with great confidence.

Tiny AI coding thought: When humans build something together, we usually say "we built this". When a model writes large parts of the code, people often still say "I built this". /1

This is really cool: Epicure lets you explore flavour pairings as a graph. You add what you have in the fridge and it shows ingredients that might go well with them. epicure.kaikaku.ai Small caveat: the website is still a bit rough, but the graph is Opensource. #FoodTech #ML

In light of coding agents. Should devs unionize?
