Nice stack of "old shit" (the books, mind you)

Briljant programming language history overview keynote (with future projections) by @kevlin.bsky.social at #FutureTech in Utrecht today. The young'uns really use that bit of historical perspective. And the humor was on point too. Excellent! 👍🏻👏🏻 #GrandpaRecalls #OkayBoomer 😜
First day of @amaconf.bsky.social today. This is so true in a talk by @kevlin.bsky.social. This is why so many organizations struggle. #AmA2026
Found a @kevlin.bsky.social at IKEA Parma
"The causality of neglect is hard to see because it is an absence of a thing — care, attention, remediation, work — rather than a thing that is easily observed. Inaction lacks the visibility of action. Searching for improvement becomes more a question of “What are we not doing?” than “What are we doing wrong?”" (Kevlin Henney, You Will Never Know Enough)

A blast from the past: my keynote at Mobiconf 2016. I think the best bit is the Q&A. If you've got 15 minutes, I reckon it's worth a watch: programming paradigms, the nature of requirements, the human side of development, how AI may change software development.

Fascinating return to a future then [still] so lovely envisioned:

An arithmometer, a wooden box casing some switches and slides that act as an early digital calculator. It's all very steampunk with a dose of 70s rec room chic.
I know my geeks will love this. This is an arithmometer. It's your Texas Instruments digital calculator's great grandpappy. They started making these in the 1850s.

The Drake meme but for writing docs.
Watching devs suddenly discover that the ability to write was important all along...
71% of developers and leaders agree that engineering discipline is more important in AI-assisted and agentic workflows.
So why aren't we seeing an increase in investment in engineering capability yet?
It doesn't come with your Claude Code plan.

If the word does not yet exist, I'm sure it will soon, for exactly the reason you give 😕

For anyone interested in a talk or workshop for their company (online or in person), I have a couple of days here and there from the end of March into April, plus some availability in June.
👍
