I'm Kagi-curious. Can you disable all the AI features? What's the experience like if you do so?

So wait they're kidnapping 5 year olds and shipping them off to Texas detention centers now? And I am literally paying for this via taxes?

"parasocial coding"

When the rejection of AI includes AI researchers, you know that the phrases "adapt or die, Luddite" don't work.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

Been a while since I've been to Kathmandu. Lovely place. I wanna go back.

This is when it all went wrong

"Be pragmatic! Financially support mass IP theft by large corporations, climate catastrophe, teen suicides, and exploiting workers in the develping world!" -- Most programmers these days.

I find it necessary these days to affirm the obvious because the descent into fascism is mostly a continuous, not discrete, process so here it goes: these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.

"You give up part of your soul when you switch to coding with AI. But it turns out to be a net win." Cool, Yegge, cool.

"Vibecoding is fast fashion for software" is a hilarious take that I sorta love.

Read the statement from #OpenTelemetry about the Node.js denial-of-service issue reported recently. 👇 opentelemetry.io/blog/2026/ot...

It's been over 4 years since @multithreadedjs.bsky.social, by @thomashunter.name and myself, was published. A lot has changed in 4 years, and a lot has stayed the same. What interesting things have you done with threads in JS? LMK. Would love to publish anecdotes (with permission) in 2nd edition.

i am watching ken burns american revolution right now and this is literally what every letter from the era they read sounds like

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

"At least you're not in Minneapolis" "You're not in Minneapolis, so you don't have to worry" "You're white, so you're safe" Fuck off with all this.

*Looks outside at all the snow on the driveway, ponders shoveling.* Nah, I'm gonna write a compiler instead.

2 hours ago, in the suburbs of Detroit.

Maybe I'm old, but I still find Discord to be insufferable to navigate.

Today, we published a security release for @nodejs.org that fixes a critical bug affecting virtually every production Node.js app. If you use React Server Components, Next.js, or ANY APM tool (Datadog, New Relic, OpenTelemetry), your app could be vulnerable to DoS attacks. 👇

What's a decent RISC-V 64 dev board these days?

"Goodhart's Law Driven Development"

Job searching in the tech industry in 2026 be like "We've recently secured $100t funding from Peter Thiel, the Saudis, and Satan. Come help build the next generation of the Torment Nexus with us!"

I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time

"The world's richest man runs a subscription service to remove the clothing from photographs of children, and I don't know how to write about it."

LLM boosters *and* LLM haters all need too chill the fuck out and stop strawmanning. I'm also guilty of this, so please call me out if needed.

Say you're building an import/module system for a new language. What concepts would you include? What tradeoffs would you make? Does an existing system strike you as "good enough"? Why or why not? Plz discuss.

Popped on over to The Everything App to see how things are going over there, and it looks like I actually agree with that loud former Netflix guy on at least one point. Feels weird.

Fuckin hell, folks.

You can expect that such folks are _really_ being tested these days, especially today.

Reminder that folks you might expect to post on social media about current events might not be commenting due to the legal implications of commenting. Silence may not be complicity, but self-preservation, family-presevation, etc.

The ASL interpreter's translation of this was fantastic.

My dad turned 70 in December, so I wanted to buy him some really good scotch. As it turns out, in Michigan, all hard liquor is distributed by the state, and then sold to customers by independent retailers. As a result, it's the most transparent liquor market I've ever seen. 1/

I am aware of relatievly huge tech companies that are referring to "vibe coding" in a positive light internally, by policy. This industry is cooked.

Same, but for PRs.

Fuck it. Went to Canada.

Fuck it. Went to Canada.

I have a Node.js Buffer and I need to write data of various types (e.g. U64LE, I32LE, etc.) to it in various places. Which of the following is fastest? 1. DataView 2. TypedArray views for each type 3. Buffer methods (e.g. `writeInt32LE()`) 4. Only use UInt8Array methods and converting each type.

Remember Google Video?

OTel, motel, Holiday Inn. Say what?

I'm in the market for a good audiobook (my eyes are aging and my spare time to sit down and read a book is limited). If you know me well enough, please recommend something! Bonus points if it's available on Libby via this library network: tln.overdrive.com

Unionize! Yes you! Even you!

"Yeah, LLMs are BS-machines and AI slop is horrible, and look at all those unintended consequences, but this one piece of gen AI stuff is useful/profitable to me, so that piece is obviously good and fine."

Normalize calling people out on not taking responsibility for their work when they say "lol I dunno I let an LLM do it".
