"To prevent this type of credential theft, don't leave access keys in public buckets" Thanks, I guess 🤷

I'll be speaking at the Datadog User Group Berlin today. Expect live demos of our Continuous Profiler product, root causing an incident caused by an LLM-assisted refactoring. www.meetup.com/datadog-berl...

A new proposal to support generic methods (without generic interfaces, though) in Go #golang github.com/golang/go/is...

Wow, 2026's started even stronger. Just a couple of weeks after Nadella's "everyone must use AI, otherwise tech won't justify spending", the leadership everywhere is organizing "trainings" and "knowledge sharing sessions" bsky.app/profile/pete...

With the amount of spam about US politics in my timeline, I truly need a content filtering on Bluesky, that blocks reposts base on their semantic labels. Matching on exact word is way too naive for 2026

Every single year I keep being stunned by the fact that FOSDEM is in fact NOT in March

Does "agentic first" 2026 predictions imply that projects will have AGENTS-md files, that are generally more useful than their README files?

Been trying pi-agent with gemini-3-flash-preview model lately, and it's gone surprisingly fine. In a large code base, gemini still tends to fall into hallucinating things, when asked to "spec out the system". But for simple, "fix that" or "why this" tasks, it goes pretty nice for a free-tier.

People remember Prometheus the movie's MedPods as an example of an agentic system, that autonomously extract an alien from Dr. Shaw. People don't remember, that in the lore of the movie, there were only dozen of these pods, patented and made by a corporation, which also hunted for bioweapon.

The hard things in computing: * cache eviction * naming things * figuring out which of your paying customers is DOSing your service

Personalised AI search results (in Perplexity) are actually terribly annoying in its irrelevancy, it's turned out. Won't be surprised much when by the second half of 2026 the product will be full of ads and other random integrations

Tahoe is the pain for the eyes, that keeps pushing at the wound. They couldn't decide if a button in the round corner should be round or a pill, so they went with something in between (screenshot from built-in messages app)

I’m deceased 💀🪦🤣 #LiquidGlass #macOS

Last year Slack changed the order of menu items in messages' dropdown, moving the "Edit message" to the top. Since then, every single day, I've been struggling with my muscle memory, as it forces me to first move the cursor to the third section of the menu, where the Edit action used to seat.

"It’s hard to justify Tahoe icons" from @tonsky.me tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-i...

2025: Satya Nadella mentioned "jevons paradox". The whole year all CEOs and tech-influencers kept parroting "jevons paradox". 2026: Satya Nadella mentioned "theory of the mind"...

this looks great actually check out pi - shittycodingagent.ai

When AI overview gets personalised flavour, no one asked: "Choose an oscilloscope [over multimeter] for troubleshooting [..] distortion in Kubernetes hardware lab" 😅

AI that wasn't built for you?! — what kind of marketing is this?

Spent a couple holidays nights at the keyboard, porting FreeBSD driver's build system to Zig 1. zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast 2. file zig-out/if_brcmfmac.ko ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD) 3. kldload ./zig-out/if_brcmfmac.ko #ziglang 🎉

🚀 We just shipped v0.218! Initial support for Dev Containers is here! 🎉

iPhone can “Stop playing” on timer!? www.theverge.com/tech/857525/...

The end of 2025's Decoder podcast with Stack Overflow CEO was very interesting to listen in this context www.theverge.com/podcast/8440...

TIL: enable Touch ID for sudo on macOS $ grep pam_tid.so /etc/pam.d/sudo auth sufficient pam_tid.so

Fender is doing (Marshal, cough) consumer electronics? 🤔 www.theverge.com/news/850879/...

Oceans 11, but they are stealing DDR5 from an OpenAI data centre

1st Jun 2019: opened a PR 1st Jan 2026: the PR was merged This year's started strong 💪

ZOZS → ZOZG

2025 proofed that skipping on writing essays (and other writing-related tasks) was among fairly bad decisions of my youth. Writing anything in human language is a torture now. This includes blogposts and AI agent prompts

If like me you have a mental model that SQLite doesn't accept outside contributions you should update it, I just got called out by D. Richard Hipp for spreading that misinformation in a comment on Hacker News simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/29/...

If you are a programmer and an AI hold-out, and you have some time off during Christmas: gift yourself a 100 USD subscription to Claude Code and … try it. But really try it. Take a week if you can afford it and dive in. It will change your opinion on these tools.

I’m too old for this world 😭 I remember calling the number to get the time

It’s the last #KebabFriday of 2025

Was trying to learn more about Google’s FuntionalGemma, but it’s turned out youtube is filed with AI slop of “honest reviews”, or “influencers” who just recycle the announcement

This week in #HRSpam “Our [AI-blah-blah-startup] use TDD, pair programming, and strong CI/CD pipelines to move fast with quality. You’ll review code and collaborate closely with the team”

"Otherwise, your 2016 macbook runs great with FreeBSD 15" — Thank you. Although, it'd be better if in 2026 there was any support for Broadcom WiFi chips finally

Kubernetes 1.35 landed in-place update of Pod resources as stable feature 🎉 kubernetes.io/blog/2025/12...

This is "web programming languages that were cool before 2010". We're sad to inform you that Parser isn't dead yet www.parser.ru/en/

TIL, iTerm2 can replace selection with pretty-printed JSON

it was probably a mistake teaching him to read

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

How productive is your Friday going?

troubleshooting fatigue exists

Sometimes I re-read my own replies on github or slack, and I'm not sure if a real human wrote them, or this was an AI-generated summary. The terrible piece is that, writing anything — a prompt or a post — takes me far more time and gigawatts of energy than it does for chatgpt.

A somewhat classic post on the allocation size classes is this one from @commaok.xyz commaok.xyz/post/discove...

Bluesky can do tinder now?!
