The Speed Tax Speed is seductive, but unchecked velocity creates hidden risk. When building gets cheaper, scrutiny disappears—leading to security gaps, product bloat, and cultures that reward shipping over thinking...

A parady O'Reilly book cover with a pencil illustration of a horse as the main detail. The title is "Moving Fast and Breaking Things, Fragile Development Guide" At the top, text reads "Just put the technical debt on my credit card"

I generated this nearly 10 years ago in 2017 and it feels even more relevant now lol

If you are these three things:

- Founded in the last 2 years
- Raised less than $5M in venture capital
- New to paying for Sentry

Then you can apply for Sentry for Startups and get $5000 in credits for free 👀

GitHub - openai/codex-plugin-cc: Use Codex from Claude Code to review code or delegate tasks. Use Codex from Claude Code to review code or delegate tasks. - openai/codex-plugin-cc

OpenAI released a plugin that allows you to use Codex to review code generated by Claude Code.

I assume this is some snarky way of implying you need OpenAI’s coding agent to review the bad code generated by Anthropic’s.

Pettiness abounds.

You know when you're asking for advice or whatever from people and then they reply with "I asked ChatGPT and here's what it said"

That's less than helpful! It's like horrendously wasteful on every single axis and also spectacularly literally thoughtless!

Why does working with AI agents in legacy systems feel so much harder than in all those vibe coding demos on YouTube? 🤔

Part of the answer:
😊 Popular language + Greenfield ☘️ = "AI heaven"
😯 Niche language + Brownfield 🟫 = "AI hell"

Here is one of the dumbest things about vibe coding that I don't see a lot of people talking about

Imagine you're an open source maintainer and someone opens up a pull request against your repository that they vibe coded. They may or may not tell you they vibe coded it; it doesn't really matter… 🧵

Anything you can do in Obsidian you can do from the command line.

Obsidian CLI is now available in 1.12 (early access).

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.

Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech.

Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.

My contract is ending at the end of February and so I’d like to find a new role ASAP.

Shares appreciated!

My boss vibe coded this over the weekend and now it’s my problem is going to be its own genre of developer complaints in the coming years.

“Software reliability is down across the industry; failure rate is up: and batch size is up.” @lauratacho.com + @nathenharvey.bsky.social

Basically, AI is generating larger changes (batch size) and we know from research (eg DORA) that larger batch size tends to result in exactly this!

A new academic paper from CMU analysing ~800 OSS repos shows AI is still making code worse.

AI speeds up code generation briefly, but code quality degrades quickly. Complexity rises faster than the amount of code added.

Storybook MCP fixes that.

It turns your stories, docs & tests into machine-readable context so agents actually follow your patterns.
