🤔 Mais on accepte les interruptions constantes dûes à l'obsession de la communication synchrone dans l'open space ?
Friday morning in La Défense. 😳 #commute
D'après la direction, "être ensemble, c’est une meilleure collaboration, un partage d’idées et d’information plus fluide, une meilleure intégration des nouveaux". 🤡
Encore une véritude : ça sonne bien, c'est du *bon sens* mais c'est faux. Renseignez-vous sur la communication asynchrone...

"We find that #AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average."
“If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer.”
From Pat Buchanan to "The Camp of the Saints," @gregsargent.bsky.social masterfully traces the dark ideological lineage behind Stephen Miller's anti-immigrant extremism.

🚨A pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability exists in #React Server Components. react.dev/blog/2025/12... It doesn't require misconfiguration, doesn't require opting in to anything experimental and doesn't require developers doing anything "wrong".
🔥CVE-2025-55182 is rated CVSS 10.0.
www.interviewquery.com/p/anthropic-... "Despite the surge in output, many engineers worry that #AI is slowly eroding their foundational skills. With Claude handling more of the [...] work, opportunities for hands-on practice shrink. The result, they fear, is a creeping loss of deep craftsmanship."
Do you really need microservices?
Amazon and Twilio Segment didn’t - and more teams are rethinking the tradeoffs.
This blog from @zenmanish.bsky.social breaks down when microservices help, when they hurt, and what to use instead.

(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.
Do you use Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify
