One of the best software engineers I worked with was on the job market: and their job search was completely different than almost all job searches:

This engineer did not fire off a single job application or reply to any LinkedIn InMail or other message. Yet he secured three offers, thanks to former colleagues he worked with jumping to refer him with the warmest referrals possible.

I posted about this person five months ago, and on LinkedIn, a dev asked if it would be possible to interview this engineer (thank you!)

I asked, and he said yes, but with one condition: to keep his identity anonymous (he is not seeking employment, nor does he want fame or attention.)

The interview is out in today's @Pragmatic_Eng. Here it is: https://t.co/FvtpKCwKm2

Oh, and this is this engineer's actual, public GitHub profile. Don't judge a book by its cover!

There are literally a million LLMs but only these eight are useful in the real world

Opus 4.6 - king of coding
GPT 5.4 - everyday use
Grok 4.2 - explains things on X
Gemini Flash - cheap, all purpose
5.4 Thinking - xls and deep research
GLM - cheap coding agents
Kimi K2.5 - claw like agents
MiniMax 2.7 - more claw

Four expensive and four cheap ones.

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack.

Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, env vars (all your API keys), shell history, crypto wallets, SSL private keys, CI/CD secrets, database passwords.

LiteLLM itself has 97 million downloads per month which is already terrible, but much worse, the contagion spreads to any project that depends on litellm. For example, if you did `pip install dspy` (which depended on litellm>=1.64.0), you'd also be pwnd. Same for any other large project that depended on litellm.

Afaict the poisoned version was up for only less than ~1 hour. The attack had a bug which led to its discovery - Callum McMahon was using an MCP plugin inside Cursor that pulled in litellm as a transitive dependency. When litellm 1.82.8 installed, their machine ran out of RAM and crashed. So if the attacker didn't vibe code this attack it could have been undetected for many days or weeks.

Supply chain attacks like this are basically the scariest thing imaginable in modern software. Every time you install any depedency you could be pulling in a poisoned package anywhere deep inside its entire depedency tree. This is especially risky with large projects that might have lots and lots of dependencies. The credentials that do get stolen in each attack can then be used to take over more accounts and compromise more packages.

Classical software engineering would have you believe that dependencies are good (we're building pyramids from bricks), but imo this has to be re-evaluated, and it's why I've been so growingly averse to them, preferring to use LLMs to "yoink" functionality when it's simple enough and possible.

BAD look 4 the NFL! They should’ve stayed in their lane. This diminishes the NFL. It’s like a champion boxer stepping in the octagon & getting his butt kicked. Tho understandable, we’d never look at him the same. NFL should’ve done its homework & kept its players out of this. SMH

Bill Simmons questions whether Giannis is still a top-five player and doesn’t think teams should trade all their assets for him.

“He doesn’t play… He’s closer to Embiid than Jokic… He gets hurt all the time. I’d be really scared.”

Jeff Teague on why the Pacers would draft Cam Boozer over AJ Dybantsa:

“Tyrese Haliburton is your star, AJ Dybantsa come, he’s not your star no more. Even though he’ll be a perennial All-Star, Tyrese Haliburton is a really good player. Cam Boozer fit the mode of like blending in with our star. We have trouble in Indiana with outgoing big personalities. Like, you look at the Colts Peyton Manning was a low personality. He just did his job. Was really good at his job. He became more popular after he retired. Like, we started falling in love like damn Peyton funny. You didn’t know that when Peyton played unless you was on his team. Same with Reggie Miller. You didn’t know, he had a personality in the locker room but we wasn’t. Now who he is way different than when he played. Paul George was a low-key superstar. He ain’t do too much. He was lowkey. We like that here.”

“This was coming no matter what…This is something you work your way through and he won’t be himself probably until next season...I don’t think he’s playing poorly at all.”

This feels like cheating.

Someone built a Claude Code skill that scans Reddit and X from the last 30 days on any topic you give it, then writes you copy-paste-ready prompts based on what the community has actually figured out not what was working six months ago.

You type /last30days prompting techniques for ChatGPT for legal questions and it comes back with the top patterns real lawyers and power users are using right now, complete with a fully written prompt you can drop in and use immediately.

No more Googling, no more digging through threads, no more prompts that worked last year but got patched out.

It works for anything - Midjourney techniques, Suno music prompts, Cursor rules, trending rap songs, whatever you need to know what people are actually saying about right now.
