This talk is a must-watch for people in the Event-Driven space. I saw @noctovis.bsky.social giving it live at this year's DDDEU, and I truly believe that she nailed the versioning topic 👇🙂

I am so annoyed at scare tactics as a dark pattern trying to get you to upgrade your SaaS subscription.

This is Google Docs doing so. I am already a paying customer - and no, I don't have "sensitive files" shared externally.

Such a cheap way to try to get more $$, Google

What the fuck? Medium is slapping ads into my posts?? Disgusting.

I was already barely posting there, but now I've half a mind to take off the posts I do have on it.

Like, not "next to" - literally in the middle of the article. And phrased in a way that makes it look like a subscriber break or paywall.

My writing has always been free to read. You already have "access to all of it" and Medium is, essentially, lying.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

On the blog: Think for Yourself

"We should be careful both to avoid 'optimising' and accelerating the creation of legacy code and to mistake such pessimisation as productivity — especially if we're doing so at the expense of joy, time and skill."

"We've just finished building a new platform but none of the development teams want to use it. Can you come and convince them to use it?"

I used to get these requests from time-to-time, and as much as I really wanted to say "yes" and charge a lot of money for the privilege, I never accepted.

It's awesome when you find people that you can talk to in depth about multiple topics.

Moving away from the surface, and enjoy the messiness of complex problems without a clear solution/approach.

Is anyone using coding agents to continuously update documentation?

I have been thinking about baking it into the pull request process.

i.e as part of the PR review that triggers multiple subagents to analyze the changes...

I'm a big believer in making any code base I touch more "introspectable", at design, compile and runtime (whichever makes more sense)

I'm not a fan of asking coding agents to go explore some repository and then hoping for the best.

Takes too long and reduces the reliability of the results.

I think something like AGENTS.md is inevitable and maybe even standards around the format of these files .
AGENTS.md
AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.

feature requests come in 3 flavors: trivially easy, probably doable, and logically impossible.

And the fun part is until you look closely at how it works you don't know which one you've got
that's something i enjoy about working with computers. sometimes you look at something and are like "that seems pretty similar to something we already solved. how are hard could this be?" and the answer is that it's been proved to be impossibly hard.

Adding debugability to code is generally a good practice. I'm finding it's extra useful with coding agents as well.

When a test fails, Claude loves cooking up wild theories and jumping to conclusions (even though it's completely wrong 😄)
