Creator of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup:
AI-generated code isn't ready — it generates more bugs, more bloat, more security holes, and is nearly impossible to validate
"senior developers are already retiring rather than deal with it"
The problem is that even a small prompt change can shift the entire codebase in unpredictable ways
Following discussions b/w @AnthropicAI & @SomaliaNCA Somali creators & innovators now have access to its services.

My daughter hand-writes her college application essays, then types them up.
She plugs them into an “AI detector” like they tell kids to… and every one comes back 80%+ ‘likely AI.’
She’s been writing these all week.
She’s frustrated. She’s furious.
I don’t blame her.
After rejecting its past, X's solution to the awful Cloudflare outage is to run back to its ex (Twitter Inc. infrastructure). Twitter's tech legacy saves the day. Long live the ghost of the bird!
Swiss surveillance could become worse than US

Meta has just replaced WhatsApp for Windows 11 with a web wrapper that consumes up to 2GB of RAM (or up to 1 GB when idle).
New WhatsApp for Windows 11 is based on WebView2.
WhatsApp has been testing its new web-based app for Windows 11 for some time now, and it's rolling out today.
WebView2 is based on Chromium, using the same Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) rendering engine.
Do not update WhatsApp in the Microsoft Store.
So it's official: IG-type content is encouraged on X.
Not saying these posts are bad, but like other social networks, X promotes something outstanding—not knowledge, but unusual.
The only platform with valuable content left is YT: tutorials, courses, physics explained, etc. These channels get massive impressions.
No surprise overall quality declines.
Because:
1. YT creators spend a week on a video - hooks, editing, perfection. X should never punish posting once every 1-2 weeks then.
2. Educational content needs "wow-effect", but it's the. hardest to produce. Easier to dance drunk on a table saying "SaaS celebrates first customer" than share a coding tip with something unusual.
Either allow posting once every 1–2 weeks for YT-quality posts without being penalized, or distribute different types of content evenly.
Knowing how to write assembly is a skill you should learn, and these guys have a great resource for you!
I've debugged 10,000 lines of assembly for every line I've ever written... but writing assembly from scratch is a core computer science skill, I believe: even if you never use it.
Will you use it to write new code? Maybe not. But when you get dropped into a call stack without source code, at least you won't have to ask your Dad for help!
And the next thing you should do after learning to write ASM is to get a crisp understanding of what your C code actually compiles to. Like a switch() statement is often a jump table, but if you've never debugged one...
The career of a software/infrastructure engineer is mostly doing boring things and asking ridiculous questions in hopes of making order out of chaos and making light work of something. That’s when that satisfactory smile is put on our faces.
Always a delight to read such blog posts.
