Computers made from living neurons? #GOTOpodcas: @charleshumble.bsky.social speaks with Ewelina Kurtys about the emerging field of biological computing. It’s a fascinating look at a possible next chapter. Give it a listen 🎧 gotopia.tech/podcast

Thanks, @charleshumble.bsky.social, for this great and open conversation. A real pleasure to discuss what @microcks.io is about and how it helps enterprises improve their API and cloud native application development. 👉 thenewstack.io/risk-mitigat...

18% of the Fridays this year have been Friday the 13ths which honestly seems very on brand for 2026

NEW TECH PODCAST ALERT! Asynchronous & Unreliable In 2026 I'll be hosting Asynchronous & Unreliable, a new podcast on the most interesting concepts driving modern tech including but not limited to AI - because ChatGPT and pals are not the only things going on in technology

Who takes care of the people who take care of open source? For @commonhaus.org's 2nd birthday, I revisited the foundation for @thenewstack.io. [1/3]

Learn how Commonhaus Foundation protects solo open source maintainers from burnout and security risks like XZ Utils through low-touch, agile governance.

Abby Haddican: Times New Resistance is like Times New Roman — the official font of the U.S. State Department. It autocorrects specific words as they are typed. For eg, the word ICE autocorrects to the Goon Squad and Trump autocorrects to Donald Trump is a felon. www.abbyhaddican.com/times-new-re...

H is for Hawk is a criminally underrated film (as well as a wonderful book).

I’m so happy to be designing for Monki Gras for the second year running. I’m glad it’s not been my ‘difficult second conference’.

This really is a great picture:

Just so you know, this week's AI for the rest of us newsletter will be an absolute belter. Everything from Jóhann Jóhannsson vs AI generated music, vibe coding vs security, more Grok horror, and some personal stuff from me. You really should subscribe. ai-for-the-rest-of-us.kit.com/139e8e415d

Kent Beck at @yowconf.bsky.social Sydney: nobody knows what programming will look like in two years — "even getting to 'it depends' would be progress." If you're feeling anxious or grief-stricken about where our industry is heading, I wrote this for you. 👉 leaddev.com/ai/nobody-kn...

I was rather pleased with the term "API sediment" for this sponsored article for @thenewstack.io. I hope it catches on! thenewstack.io/ai-strategy-...

Durable Execution helps ensure applications continue running despite failures, beyond what defensive coding and hardware redundancy can handle.

I find this strangely adorable. (It's also literally a-door-able, but let's all pretend that pun never happened.)

@charleshumble.bsky.social & @adrianmouat.com discuss container security: why distroless images matter, how Chainguard builds from source for zero CVEs, and lessons from XZ Utils & Shackle-Alert attacks.

I spoke with @charleshumble.bsky.social a few weeks back for @gotocon.com We dived into a wide range of security and container topics, from why containers came about and how vulnerability scanners work, to SBOMs and the evolution of Distroless into @chainguard.dev images youtu.be/9NUOiL48hbo?...

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies. It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

Somewhere between Christmas and Easter I buy Cadbury Creme Egg, eat it, and then feel slightly sick. I have no idea why I do this. I don’t like them. I don’t think I ever did.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

The energy transition is happening, faster than many realize. This week, I look at how clean energy is surging, where we can get it wrong, why silence on climate is spreading, and what we can do. Read the full edition for the data, the stories, and practical ways to keep the conversation going:

The excitement around ‘Moltbook’ is weird. It's basically the old fallacy of writing “I’m alive” on a piece of paper, photocopying it, and then saying ’OMG look what the photocopier says!”

Human brains run on ~12-20 watts and sandwiches, while AI needs gigawatts. Could biology hold AI's future? I spoke with Dr. Ewelina Kurtys from FinalSpark about building computers from human stem cells, neural encoding, and the ethics of conscious systems.

. @charleshumble.bsky.social & Dr. Ewelina Kurtys discuss biological computing: living neurons that could cut AI costs by being 1M times more energy efficient than current systems.

My wife and I went to see the wonderful “H is for Hawk” at the cinema this week. Fabulous acting particularly from Claire Foy, and a brilliant soundtrack from Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch (which kind of does the job of the inner monologue in the book). Loved it.

Climate change, nature loss, and inactivity could cut sports industry revenues 14 per cent by 2030 The global sports economy may be booming, but climate change and nature loss threaten to wipe billions of dollars off its projected value over the coming decades.

@monkchips.com just trying to submit a talk to Monki Gras and can’t get Papercall to work. It says “ There were errors with your submission!” But if there are it isn’t telling me what they are! If you’re not already full I’d love to pitch a talk-two new ideas, one of which I have no idea how to do

For my first sponsored article of 2026 I sat down with Kin Lane from @naftiko.bsky.social to talk about business capabilities and how language shapes our mental models. Kin is such a deep thinker and I found the conversation really interesting. #AI #APIs #AgenticAI #DomainDrivenDesign

Any GenAI experts willing to answer what feels like quite a basic question for me with regards to Grok's ability to generate deepfake and non-consensual sexualised images? DM me?

Apple's new UI guideline that recommends putting icons next to every single menu item is truly awful. So bad, in fact that MacOS Tahoe is the fist MacOS I've ever uninstalled. I'm back on Sequoia. Sequoia has lots of bad design choices but Tahoe really is legitimately terrible.

Tell me we should trust AI to give us the facts. Tell me it's a future we can put our faith in. Come at me. I'm right here, waiting.
