So glad to go to Brutto in London again. Great Italian food in Smithfield. The £5 negronis are an ideal cocktail all places should adopt.

That’s a gift link. Read that and not the sloppy Guardian piece below 👇🏻
This by @clivethompson.bsky.social is the best thing I’ve read on AI and the effect it is having on software. It describes my current job to a T. I too have a big prompt file and do brownfield dev > Coding After Coders: The End of Computer Programming as We Know It www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/m...
www.theguardian.com/technology/n... this feels as sloppy as anything produced by AI. If you want to have your negative AI beliefs confirmed, though, this is for you.

Really smart points, especially #4. It mirrors what I see in software engineering
Good to see the Toronto mayor doing what we see New York’s mayor doing
Microsoft Takes a Stand Against the Trump Administration www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/b... good to see this for a number of reasons
My belief is just like Walter Benjamin talked about visual arts having an aura that reproductions did not, all creative work has a humanity that AI work doesn’t possess.

Yes! And I told it to make its comments the same format as my comments and it did that too! I think AI comments and documentation is an underrated feature
It’s a backronym I think! I don’t know more than that other than that I liked it 😊
It was great.
Fun fact: he invented the computer language SNOBOL. I actually did some work with the language and was impressed by how well it handled text compared to most languages back then.
www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/t... a good obit on someone very important who shaped the internet and thus us.
His desire to attack allies is incredible.
www.ft.com/content/09fa... without knowing the content in the data centres it’s hard to know how badly this affects the conflict. It will likely affect the deployment of more hyperscalar facilities in conflict regions though. Those things are expensive.
Agreed
Hey if they can do it, Canada can do it too.
This is great, and worth reading to the end. (Bluesky in a browser hides some of the later links.)
Pringles hot ones. Hot at least for someone with Polish / Irish roots 😊
Unlike a lot of fast food these are actually hot*
