I am also gradually coming round to the view that interaction between humans/client apps and (perhaps multiple) AI agents is a state synchronisation problem that probably needs CRDTs lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/11/22/l...
LLM APIs are a Synchronization Problem

It would take around 1.1 million acres of solar panels to (clean) power the world. That's less than a quarter of the number of acres devoted globally to golf courses. You can see where this is going, right...?

The era of manual software development is coming to a close quickly.
My view on software development has drastically changed. I believe in the future the role of engineers will be to build software factories, not the software itself.

I literally just found out (five minutes ago!) that they have finished shooting Neuromancer by @greatdismal.bsky.social and I can’t wait. This is the book that made me come out of the closet and tell people that I loved science fiction, which was unusual for a 20 yr old girl. It’s still unusual!
