Why do IT departments seem to love adding layers to a process?! "Hey, we have one smart person handling this task well. That concentrates responsibility too much! Let's replace them with six people working in series, across timezones, cultures, now no one is responsible! Result!"

@ericmigi.com Any chance of a blog update on PT2 shipping? Last update (24th March) said expected to finish by start of June. I was in Batch 2, originally due January and haven't heard anything even though presumably I'm further ahead in the queue than many 🤷♂️
As of yesterday's run, Python 3.15 with the JIT enabled made the FastAPI benchmark: - 1% faster on RPi (blueberry) - 2% faster on Windows (prometheus) - 6% faster on Ubuntu 24.04 (ripley) - 13% faster on macOS M3 Pro (jones) www.doesjitgobrrr.com/run/2026-04-18

Henley & Partners’ wealth migration reports have been reported all over the world, both to prove both that there's a massive exodus of wealth from the UK and that there isn't. Our forensic review finds the data riddled with anomalies - and in key places looks fabricated:
Not something to do *all* holiday but Codex works remarkably well on a SteamDeck for some casual vibe coding! 🥳 Not surprising as it's a full computer but I didn't find the screen size too much of a hindrance and I could git pull the code locally to check it really worked 🙂 #holidayvibes #steamdeck
Etymology of the day: spiders were once known as ‘attercops’, or ‘poison-heads’, because it was believed most spiders were venomous. The ‘cop’ element became the ‘cob’ in ‘cobweb’.
