Did you know that Gleam is so small that all of its keywords can neatly fit on a postcard? And only two thirds of those are actually used today

reads: Introduction In March 2026, an Anthropic employee released the source code of Claude Code, a wrapper around their large language model that is widely used to generate code in programming tasks. Its thousands of lines of Typescript code contained many hopeful prompts and in cantations to shape Claude’s behaviour. Here are some examples: “Report outcomes faithfully”; “Never characterize incomplete or broken work as done”; “Be careful not to introduce security vulnerabilities ” (prompts.ts in Anthropic 2026) . There is more than a passing resemblance here to the Azande witch -doctor apprentice who, while stirring the medicine, utters: “You medicine which I am cooking, mind you always speak the truth to me. Do not let anyone injure me with his witchcraft, but le t me recognize all witches. … Let me be expert at the witch -doctor’s craft so that people will give me many spears on account of my magic.” (Evans-Pritchard 1937: 93). In the case of Claude, the incantation s appeared insufficient: analysis of the codebase, which according to a company executive was “pretty much 100% written by Claude Code ”, revealed severe security vulnerabilities (Townsend 2026).

what an introductory paragraph!!

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: a quick little video clip showing a patrolling enemy on the world map who spots me and gives chase!

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

Appveyor perhaps?

Bluesky is fine for little quips and jokes, but sucks for actual discussion. I suspect that we are too far apart in what we consider good engineering to get anywhere in 500 character exchanges.

I get that this is considered good engineering at FB

- It demonstrates a top-down culture where care and responsibility is not taught and fostered but imposed through rigid (and IMO stupid) rules.
- According to Anthropic, Claude writes all of their code. Either you are correct or they are lying. Both possibilities are bad.

Somehow not surprising to me that the LLM shit code is not machine innovation but an accurate reflection of the shit code it’s copying from

Some sites are just so fucking impressive!

Uuuh new hex.pm design 😎 shameless plug while I got your attention and need an example to look at hex.pm/packages/homex

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

I doubt any person wrote that.

Mail from GitHub saying: “Hi there, We're updating how GitHub uses data to improve Al-powered coding tools. From April 24 onward, your interactions with GitHub Copilot-including inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context-may be used to train and enhance Al models unless you opt out.”

This was a nice reminder from GitHub it also helped me figure out how to remove copilot entirely from the web UI 😇

I made a papercraft just for this

Quote from Dave Rapin, Foundar at Curling IO: “BEAM was the killer feature. None of these other options came close to what the BEAM VM offers: rock-solid concurrency, fault tolerance, and proven scalability. Gleam gives us BEAM on the backend with familiar functional patterns on the frontend, all in a single language.

They were looking for:
- Type safety
- Massive concurrency
- Functional patterns
- Shared types
- Proven at scale

And Gleam checked every box!

The Gleam community go ham on writing libraries. We have libraries for PDF, thermal printers, QR codes and static site generation.

We also have the first write up of the inaugural Gleam Gathering.

Issue 80 of Gleam weekly hot off the press.
