hate llms all you like, the one thing they are now exceptional at is the "this doesn't compile, please fix it" loop
I better go and try this openclaw thing before the next thing comes along and then I never did it

I am happy with the result of some coding hours during flights plus a couple of weekend mornings. I have made a release of this app, an audio book downloader and decrypter for macOS, Linux and Windows github.com/DavidObando/...

Vine por la NASA pero me quedé por la lipo.
since no one feels like celebrating the current occupant of the office how about we dedicate today to these guys instead
Writing software in 2026 is such a delightfully fun experience. Last weekend during a flight I ported an app from Windows to macOS (the only app that had me still keeping a Windows VM around at home) and by the time my flight landed I had a working app. Claude is fab when you know what you’re doing.
"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.
The average developer salary is my new GenAI signal. If it's really about developers leveraging AI and unlocking new value, then I expect salaries to increase.
If GenAI is about increasing profit margins, then I expect the average developer salary, and headcount, to decrease over time.
Imagine if each action taken by a customer or a delivery driver was auditable by being placed in a public ledger that allows customers to know how much things are being charged not just to them but to others as well. And have drivers pick up jobs as they appear on the ledger, no artificial delays.
I have always thought of blockchain as useless tech (I’m not into “coin” scams). But Jan 1 I read a Reddit confession (now deleted) that blows the whistle on food delivery app practices, including having a “desperation score” of sorts for the delivery drivers. Audit traces would help fix this.
Someday people will look back on 2026 and wonder how we let it get this bad.
At least some of us can tell our grandkids we fought for what was right.
I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally
I didn’t expect Neil Stephenson’s Anathem to end the way it does… Nice read!
Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.
Just read this article, my intuition tells me the next targeted takeovers will be Panama (due to the canal), Nicaragua (due to political misalignment and the lake), and perhaps also Costa Rica (due to economic, technological and ecological value).

They’re holding him up with scotch tape and glue at this point.
Well finally get to see those amazing Chinese EVs in North America!
My iPad is possessed. It randomly starts playing music once in a while, as it rests unused on my desk; sometimes even while I sleep. Random songs from Apple Music. Anyone else getting this odd behavior?
I agree with the sentiment of this image, it strongly makes me feel like society has failed these men who chose to work for ICE. This is our generation's problem now.
Nope, directories are as expected. It really is a bug in pwsh.
File by file as I am also doing an inventory as I go. I didn’t try -LiteralPath.
