Visiting my mother in Northern Poland and I’m blown away by the pace of modernization here. Also, how much colder the Baltic wind can make what seems like a reasonable temperature actually feel.

Dan! You here?

Don't become an Engineering Manager Over drinks a few weeks ago, a friend told me he'd been offered a promotion, to an Engineering Manager role.

Interesting post: newsletter.manager.dev/p/dont-becom...
Especially about the the management ladder flattening.

Anthropic CEO says AI company 'cannot in good conscience accede' to Pentagon's demands Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says the artificial intelligence company “cannot in good conscience accede” to the Pentagon’s demands to allow wider use of its technology.

Not exactly the same tax bracket, still, you have my money @anthropic.com

Pair programming with agents has the added bonus of improving my English fluency. I'd been cogitating my architecture decisions, ideating on my distributed systems problems, and osmosing my entire codebase. After that, it's just all razzle-dazzling and topsy-turvying

Exclusive: Pentagon warns Anthropic will "pay a price" as feud escalates The Pentagon may label Anthropic a "supply chain risk," forcing all its vendors to sever ties.

Stand from Anthropic to ensure its tools aren't used to spy on Americans en masse, or to develop weapons that fire with no human involvement. Something many other providers in this space have not been willing to make.

Same, depressing cause while dramatization it also not hard to imagine this ITL nowadays.

Issues, I can see being valuable. PRs by non-auth’d users though would have to assume defensive CI on the repo itself to prevent execution of malicious code as part of PR qualification.

The 1st 2 episodes of Murderbot on AppleTV are not bad. Not bad at all. These humans with them messy emotions, I tell you.

Not sure what way the new Express Check-in on Alaska Airline is “express” but it ain’t any of the meanings of the word I am familiar with.

Arsenal rn #livars

@arsenalfc.bsky.social has gone backward this season. No question. Frankly I’ll be surprised if we don’t finish further down the table. Still, seeing ManU and Spurs at 16 and 17 respectively is just telling how nothing in EPL is given. Past glory guarantees you nothing!

Proper collapse today. Now there is a scenario wherein Arsenal does not make it to the Champions League. LIV away and NEW at home aren’t easy games. 😖

For sure. That’s where we are staying.

Yep, gonna be hard to improve on this I think. Back to work on Mon but I’m sensing a severe sickness coming over me that just may extend my stay here for another week.

Peak relaxation achieved

Back to work next week. Until then though, I’m gonna tranquilo the shit out of these last few days

Never been a fan of Indiana Jones wanna be movies but have to admit the Fountain of Youth trailer looks good 🤞
