How Software Developers Fail Software developers fail in two ways: they build the thing wrong, or they build the wrong thing. -- Ardalis

Software developers fail in two ways:

❌ They build the thing wrong
❌ They build the wrong thing

Agentic development magnifies both of these.

Claude is now canceling per-seat enterprise licenses and moving these accounts to straight per-token consumption models. The trend continues.

Gonna we weird headlines when there’s a recall recall.

Disney Layoffs Hit Marvel Studios Hard The Academy Award-winning artists behind some of Marvel's biggest hits are among the casualties from company wide staff reductions.

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers.

Absolutely heartbreaking 😔
Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

So much conflict is, at its root, just misunderstanding.

The Internet's Most Powerful Archiving Tool Is in Peril As major news outlets cut off the Wayback Machine, journalists and advocacy groups are rallying to protect the Internet Archive’s vast collection of web pages.

Journalists know that losing the Wayback Machine would be a nightmare: www.wired.com/story/the-in...

I usually put mutation methods on the entity being mutated. The aggregate root is still responsible for enforcing the invariants on the whole aggregate, but that doesn't mean child entities should all be just DTOs - I view that as an antipattern. Does that help?

Absolutely burns me up that he's killing these projects just as we're taking the most promising new medical technology in my lifetime and having smart researchers apply it to all the illnesses we haven't been able to crack yet.

This is a good thing, and hopefully pushes back against the endless enshittification of products by vendors:

EFF is Leaving X After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue.

EFF is leaving X/Twitter.

Sorry but it's about freaking time.

I don't expect everyone to leave. Yes it's a cesspool and the algorithm sucks. But the EFF of all orgs should care about this.

This "we weren't getting engagement anymore" nonsense is weak sauce.

For those of us who never used all of our Bluesky invite codes before they went away, they should be turned into uninvite codes where we can delete accounts of our choice

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Git worktrees are the new hotness now that agents can work on parallel instances of your codebase. What they don’t solve is the port conflict problem, that’s where aspire run/start —isolated comes!

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."
If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Reminds me of “The more you know…” / “Reading Rainbow”… 😆

Part of me feels like so few people read anymore that I really need to get my YouTube channel going again by just reading my articles to the audience…

One of the foundational promises of cloud computing is elastic, near-infinite scalability. So why is Anthropic, running on the infrastructure of Amazon and Google, throttling its users during peak hours?

It is unfortunate that the side of the moon we rarely see is typically referred to as the dark side, but in the post she referenced it even calls it by the more apt name “far side” so it’s harder to credit the “dark” name with the misunderstanding…

Republicans in Congress support this.

It’s that simple

Hopefully it will never happen.

Also who really thinks he knows how to spell “revolutionarily” ?
