Great piece, “We're entering a world where it's cheap to produce bigger changes, but that doesn't make it any safer.” apenwarr.ca/log/20260531

This is fine if all you aspire to is a "smart speaker" level of usefulness.

Starting a rumor that The Ballroom is actually a data center.

The new reality of AI-driven supply chain attacks is making OSS a huge liability. Maintainers are burned out from an onslaught of AI slop PRs. At the same time, you can vibe-code an internal version of anything. How does OSS survive this?

SWEing changed dramatically about 2 months after Opus 4.5 came out, and again about 2 weeks after 4.6. Mythos ain't even out yet and it's changing everything.

This is a common but naive take. Even if it takes 30 seconds to envision and develop something today, you still won't know if that something has positive business outcomes for weeks or months. Meanwhile a bunch of devs are sitting around doing nothing.

Hot take: libraries (code) are dead. Why would I import someone else's code when I can have Claude write exactly what I need in a few seconds. I don't even re-use my own libraries at this point.

Hoptimator got a much needed docs refresh. github.com/linkedin/Hop...

Thinking of having a massive garage sale of just corporate branded jackets and socks.

If I'd have known I'd get so many "can you believe it's been 30 years?!" notifications I'd have taken less pictures.

Thinking about the Trump Jesus nurse *hat*, which hasn't been widely used for 50 years. Such an odd and gratuitous symbol to throw in.

The Claude tamagochi thing is cute until you realize it's using the same metrics it sends your boss lol

Y'all might have missed it but now SWEs trust Claude a ton more than they trust other SWEs.

Agents, like people, are way more critical of others' work than their own.

If you give a million devs the same new tool, they'll all discover the same few tricks, build the same few obvious frameworks, and claim to have made the same few insightful discoveries.

Snr devs clinging to their "agentic workflows" simply bc they can diagram them, which makes them feel like they've contributed in some way.

AI is great at empowering individuals but extremely hard to harness as an organization. Everyone wants to use their own personal AI. Unclear if that is an intrinsic property of AI or people.

You can just paste mermaid markup into nano banana. That's bananas.

I'm excited about the future that AI holds, but even I've had the odd moment of disquiet about what it means for being a coder. "Deep Blue" is a delightful term for it! 🤷

Everyone I talk to is working on the same few things. Everything everyone thinks is brilliant is obvious to everyone else.

Can we finally stfu about No Code?

It's funny how FOSS ended up feeding a few new megacorps that own everything when the whole point of FOSS was to prevent that from happening.

📝 "Hardwood: A New Parser for Apache Parquet" Today is the day--beyond excited to share the first release of #Hardwood, a new parser for the Apache #Parquet file format, optimized for minimal dependencies and great performance. 👉 www.morling.dev/blog/hardwoo...

Begging. Crying. Pleading. Offering little notes of encouragement. (Me getting Codex to actually do the things it says it will do.)

It's so cute when Codex takes a nap (compacts context) and wakes up with a fresh perspective.

Literally who hasn't built a C compiler?

TBH one agent works too fast for me to keep up with already. Don't get how people are juggling multiple branches and multiple prompts. I tried having 2 windows open and couldn't keep them straight.

If you're actively reading the code and engaging at that level it's not vibe coding, I think. It's just coding in 2026.

Need a word for extremely technical tightly steered vibe coding. Vibe coding sounds like you don't know what you're doing.

Ralph Wiggum loop for keeping corporate VPN connected.

I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but I wrote something very similar to "Pi", except mine includes a shell written from scratch to be safe (instead of bash).

Claude I see what you've done for other repos and I want that for mine.

We're gonna need a bigger build server.

I like coding agents cuz I can scream THAT IS WHAT POLYMORPHISM IS -- WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOW YOU UNDERSTAND -- HOW DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THIS FROM THE START quietly into the void.

goddamn

So does Greg Bovino move to Argentina now?

Been writing a Claude Code / Codex clone and it just fixed its first bug within itself 😳

Thanks to @davidgasquez.com, @hachej.bsky.social, Hayssam, Matthew, @jankaul.bsky.social, Bedag, Dan, @ry.codes, Burak, and many more for building these amazing frameworks to ease data engineering lives, and even make operations more reliable. If interested, I wrote a full series on this topic.
