I finally took Embabel for a spin and recorded my first impressions. If you haven't heard of it yet, this is a great place to start. Spoiler: it's really good. https://youtu.be/G5VDQCZu6t0

come help us write in bad programming language go at bluesky!

Recordings of conversations between the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Russian Foreign Minister have appeared online.

As fossil fuel prices have shot up, it’s a good time to consider going electric. I’ve had an electric car for a decade and a heat pump for a year, and I’m very happy with both — simply all-around better technology than burning stuff. www.noahpinion.blog/p/maybe-you-...

🎉 SmokeMe v3 est enfin sortie ! github.com/tpierrain/Sm... Une lib .NET pour déclarer ultra facilement des smoke tests derrière /smoke dans votre API. Convention-based, elle exploite "the power of sameness" et permet de l'outillage pour rendre de vrais services en prod. ⬇️

It’s always interesting to see which subjects Meta will refuse to do content moderation on because “free speech,” and which content moderation the CEO will volunteer to do in advance to curry favor. In this case it was “naming a DOGE employee”

Anthropic’s “auto mode” for Claude Code has a 17% false negative rate - 17% of the time it will run dangerous commands because they are misclassified as safe. (www.anthropic.com/engineering/...) Actual Russian Roulette with a loaded revolver has a false negative rate of 16.67%. So, that’s a thing.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

Something I've been playing with, I can just leave it running in the cloud somewhere chewing on issues github.com/tinybluerobo...

got some hate mail/messages directed at me due to the recently published security advisory in AutoMapper github.com/LuckyPennySo... and for some reason, all the messages were anti-semitic? besides wishing various family members would die of cancer because I have commercial versions now

It's only the latest of several side project that the AI startup has ditched over the past week.

Such a shame this came in too late for my kids. They could have really done with it because it caused real problems for them and their generation. These problems are only just coming to light and are costly and painful to fix. Untethered tech? Not a good thing. www.bbc.com/news/article...

GitHub is really going for it: "On April 24 we'll start using GitHub Copilot interaction data for AI model training unless you opt out. Review this update and manage your preferences in your GitHub account settings."

Do people not realize that when these insiders do this stuff, the money they get comes from the people who invested in these stocks without the insider info? These are your 401(k)s and investment portfolios and index funds. They. Are. Robbing. You.

This issue they just dealt with is a perfect example of why you don't want to roll your own homegrown messaging support tooling. There's way more potential gotchas out there than you recognize upfront, and the widely used, existing tools have already gone through a lot of hardening

I'm building a Google Docs alternative because fuck those guys. Please check it out. Hosted in Canada but I'm not checking passports. All are welcome ;) www.cdox.ca

Today's Internet.

I sat down with Claude Code to build a test analyser. Our DX survey keeps flagging test efficiency, and I had a hunch our test pyramid was off. Wrote it up with some interactive bits. acairns.co.uk/posts/evalua...

TypeScript 6.0 is now available! This release brings better type-checking for methods, new standard library features, new module features for Node.js, and more! But most important, this release brings us one step closer to the upcoming native-speed 7.0! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/a...

I've decided to shut my business and do more volunteer / community work. If you know of an organisation which could use a board member with strong digital skills, extensive experience in open source and open standards, or cybersecurity please let me know.

Good morning to everyone except the worst computer industry promotional pin.

This is incredibly irresponsible journalism. You cannot write this headline without acknowledging all the times Elon Musk has promised to pay for things, then didn't. Let's take a stroll down memory lane. 🧵

Thank you @steefjan.bsky.social for this nice write-up of my keynote at QCon London this week: www.infoq.com/news/2026/03... My slides are now up as well: speakerdeck.com/ept/mitigati...

opencode 1.3.0 will no longer autoload the claude max plugin we did our best to convince anthropic to support developer choice but they sent lawyers it's your right to access services however you wish but it is also their right to block whoever they want 1/2

AI is changing everything fast and I'm trying to change with that too: jeremydmiller.com/2026/03/18/c...

they literally renamed the entire company after this

I put together a piece on how I'm doing co-design with agents in some of my dev work at the moment, and how there's a very specific through line from XP and the sort of software design and intentionality I talk about often. Trying to capture my working patterns. davidwhitney.co.uk/blog/2026/03...

Me: "Claude change the background colour of this one button" Claude: "Just let me grep all the files in the codebase"... five minutes later... Claude: "I now have a full understanding, what was the task again?"

I watched Louis Theroux inside the Manosphere and now I'm listening to ambient techno music

as Tesla unravels Elon Musk will be forced to be increasingly incoherent with his vaporware hype slop until he's just left screaming incoherent strings of non sequiturs about GLORMS and interdimensional portals

Evelyn van Kelle and I are on the train back from @amaconf.bsky.social, and we wanted to share something we promised during our talk. #DomainDrivenDesign #SoftwareArchitecture #DecisionMaking #CognitiveBias #CollaborativeSoftwareDesign >>>

Tried JetBrains Air. The UX is slick but the app is a bit fragile. When its a bit more reliable I would seriously consider switching to it.

Wrote up how I wired Claude into the Microsoft Agent Framework to build a chat agent for my health data side project. Function tools, AG-UI streaming, system prompt design, skipping Foundry entirely. Check it out: www.willvelida.com/posts/ms-age...

KanDDDinsky 2026 CFP is open! We're looking for talks and workshops on DDD, collaborative modeling, software architecture, AI + DDD, and more. Berlin, October 2026. Deadline: March 21. Submit here: sessionize.com/kandddinsky-... www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY6n...

@selrahcd.bsky.social I started working on that idea: github.com/NTCoding/aut... You describe the workflow you want, and the agent builds it 100% unit tested on top of the generic DSL and workflow engine

v1.118 rolls out today! New in this update: You can now translate posts without leaving the app. Simply tap "translate" on mobile and your phone's built-in translation takes it from there.

Does anyone have a favourite book on the history of nuclear weapons? I'm particularly interested in how the physicists grappled with the ethics of what they were unleashing on the world. I fear computer scientists might be the next to have such a reckoning.

Nice, some interesting tools here I need to try at home...

I'm going to start announcing things related to node-postgres here instead of on twitter/x. I will potentially post more about node-postgres in general here but at least the major announcements should all be here, not there. Sunsetting the x account.
