NEW: Organ tuners have been leaving temperature and humidity records in little-known books for decades. 🎹 They reveal how temperatures inside churches have changed over time due to climate change and increased heating. A new scoop for The Reengineer! www.thereengineer.pro/p/church-org...

Science has named the seemingly unstoppable growth of renewable energy worldwide as the 2025 Breakthrough of the Year. Learn more about this year's #BOTY and other big advances in science: https://scim.ag/493Tpgx

Ouch!

Perspective on the news about the Trump administration seeking to break up the NSF NCAR - The National Center for Atmospheric Research from the ground at the AGU meeting. www.cnn.com/2025/12/17/c...

"Using the latest Global Carbon Budget data, it finds that decoupling is now the norm across advanced economies, with 46% of global GDP in countries that have expanded their economies while cutting emissions." https://bit.ly/4q830JY

I know many of you who follow me don't work in climate science, but this is the biggest story in climate right now. Breaking up NCAR makes us all less safe and is another act of self-harm that will take decades to recover from.

Phenomenal photos. Photojournalists are amazing people.

The audio version of my podcast with Laura Tacho is out. She's brilliant and well worth your time.

"Typing isn't the bottleneck" - yet we're using AI to code faster. @nathenharvey.bsky.social (Google DORA) tells @charleshumble.bsky.social what 5,000 developers reveal about AI adoption. Spoiler: it's not about speed.

Fun chat with Nathen Harvey for @gotocon.com Turns out using AI to write code faster often makes software delivery worse—because typing was never the bottleneck. AI amplifies what you already have: great systems get faster, broken systems just hurt more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IKB...

I wrote about why so many AI pilots fail and talked to eng leaders who've actually rolled out gen AI at scale. Success comes down to fundamentals: 1. clear communication 2. fixing your data permissions 3. measuring impact not adoption Full article on LeadDev leaddev.com/technical-di...

It is 2025 and iOS 26 still cannot add an MP3 to your music library. Am I the only person who finds this baffling? My music-writing partner and I send MP3s back and forth to each other all the time in between studio sessions but the process to get them on our phones is ludicrously cumbersome.

🎙️ The “Google trap.” The onboarding gap. The reluctant manager. On today’s #GOTOpodcast, Meri Williams joins @charleshumble.bsky.social to share honest lessons on scaling teams, avoiding bad big-tech habits & building diverse products that work. 🎧 gotopia.tech/podcast

Assessments of government action on climate change—and public desire for climate action—should always explicitly consider how much cajoling and lobbying and pressure from oil and gas there is to do nothing. This is a fight; not (just) a technological transition. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I am shooting my shot. I love writing op-eds. @teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you. Signed, A Black woman who writes for the public

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

Kubernetes optimization can’t be an afterthought or rely on “superhero configurations.” It must be automated, continuous, effortless and always safe.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

Not an energy post, but FT has a very funny "page not found" message: answers to why the page wasn't found based on economic concepts. And you don't need a subscription to read it. www.ft.com/content/1095...

"Organizations that design systems are constrained to produce designs which copy their communication structures"- but most people miss the word "communication." Michael Nygard breaks down what Conway's Law really means for technical leaders with @charleshumble.bsky.social

This talk by Stephen Midgley from AI for the rest of us is deeply moving and well worth your time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ckqw...

I wanted to write a response to the Gates climate memo but it turns out @weatherwest.bsky.social has done a much, much better job of it.

On a clear disc you can seek for ever.

AWS' Customer Carbon Footprint Tool now has Scope 3 emissions data going back to January 2022. This was customers' #1 requested feature, I'm told. Still waiting on per-service breakdowns beyond EC2/S3/CloudFront though. My latest for @thenewstack.io: thenewstack.io/aws-adds-sco...

As a long-term JetBrains user (IntelliJ and WebStorm are two of my favorite tools) I've been trying to make sense of their rather confusing AI strategy. I've written my findings up as my first short article for LeadDev: leaddev.com/ai/breaking-...

Days since I last spilt coffee on the cat==1;

I agree with almost all of this, but I do get frustrated by the idea there aren’t people expressing a balanced view within the tech press. Doing so can feel risky, but it’s important. For example: thenewstack.io/why-tech-pro... thenewstack.io/ai-consumes-... thenewstack.io/ai-at-the-ed...

I just fell asleep on the sofa while drinking a coffee and managed to spill coffee over me, the sofa and the cat. How’s your day going?

Jane Goodall was extraordinary. Such an ability to connect with people from political leaders to TV viewers.

I am filled with so much love and gratitude that I cannot grieve. Dr. Goodall worked tirelessly in her gentle, hopeful way for a better world for all life on Earth. She has laid down her field notebook for the last time; now it is for us to fill with wonder, joy, and connection, into infinity.

Got my performance review.

yeah we're into LLMs (Large Lamb-bridge Models)

I WOULD get up & go for my morning walk… But there’s a cat curled up sleeping right next to me, on both sides, in my bed. The 3rd Law of Feline Dynamics clearly states that you must not disturb a cat when it’s sleeping on or next to you, lest it throw the world off its axis. That’s just science.
