⚠️ AI agent skills are becoming a new attack surface and most teams aren’t prepared.

In OpenClaw, “skills” are treated as documentation, but in reality, they can act as installers. And attackers are already exploiting that.

@jmeller, VP & Security Strategist @1Password, found that a top-downloaded skill in a popular registry was being used to deliver macOS infostealing malware.

This is why the future of agentic AI needs identity and access controls that are time-bound, revocable, and attributable.

@bcherny @nicmeriano @karpathy Can you say more about how you use Claude Code to suggest refactorings (or find possible issues) on opened PRs? Thank you.

I must have spent days of my life typing `document.querySelector(All)` in browser consoles only to realize I can simply type `$(selector)` and `$$(selector)`

Part 2 of the Teamtailor Embroider series goes through all the things we did to make static invocation possible in our large Ember app.

I hope you enjoy reading it and that you might learn something you can apply.

We just published the first blog post in a series on how we switched to Embroider at Teamtailor, and the huge dividends it paid: https://t.co/6NVXbR0Sqg

Such a great article on LessWrong (and one of the few ones I mostly understand 😅) about why ChatGPT is a sycophant.

@JeffreyBiles Nice! What was the prompt?

[Simon Maechling @simonmaechling]

Today we celebrate the 111th birthday of Norman Borlaug. The man who fed the world.

Borlaug developed high-yield, disease-resistant wheat that sparked the Green Revolution, saving over a billion lives from hunger.

Happy Birthday, Norman Borlaug - hero of humanity.

HomeExchange is one of the services I use and recommend wholeheartedly

I've been able to travel with my family to others' homes and save a lot of money on accommodation. Not to mention you stay at a nice home with all its benefits instead of hotel rooms.

It occurred to me that I couldn't exactly define what arrogance is.

I then came up with this: one is arrogant insofar as they think the only way to do something (or the only way to think about something) is the way they do it.

Is this a good definition?

Here is rule #13 from the tentative "How To Become an Effective Software Engineer" book.

I learned a ton from pair programming and have had a lot of fun, too:

This one was above-average hard to write but it's probably one of the most important rules. I have the impression soft skills are underrated in lots of engineering organizations, even though communication is a killer soft-skill to wield.
