Matt Pocock just dropped an 18-minute talk at @aiDotEngineer on why software fundamentals matter more than ever in the AI age:
00:00 - Why specs-to-code produces garbage
04:36 - Grill Me: the skill that interrogates your plan before AI writes code
07:21 - Fix verbose AI with a ubiquitous language
09:45 - TDD is your AI's speed limit
12:35 - Deep modules: the codebase structure AI thrives in
15:04 - Design the interface, delegate the implementation
These 18 minutes of software design fundamentals will replace 20 paid AI coding courses.
Watch it, then read the guide on how to make a company AI-native below.
My family is donating another $400,000 to the Zig Software Foundation. Zig is exceptional software. I use AI every day. Zig has one of the strongest anti-AI policies in open source. We disagree on some things, but respect doesn’t require agreement. https://t.co/gaOuwjDDtm
From startup to shutdown, loading Windows 3.1, MS Word, and MS Excel, on a computer several orders of magnitude slower and with 1000x less RAM than a modern PC.
Note how snappy everything is.

No it isn't. We don't have to live like this!
Shoji Yamasakı is a pertormance artist behind the ongoing project Littered Mvmnts. He studies trash caught in the wind, and translates their erratic movement into precise, choreographed performances.
I find it very odd that JD Vance is more concerned about the possibility of French & British nukes falling into the wrong hands than he is about Russian & Chinese nukes currently being in enemy hands.
NEW: 93 murders in London (pop: ~9m) in 12 months to October.
The city's murder rate is now lowest for decades; perhaps centuries. https://t.co/T0o7Q0bgVw
My favorite iOS 18 feature that Apple kept for iOS 26 is when you type a search query into your browser and literally nothing happens until you clear the field and try your search again.
A milestone for digital assets in the UK!

@adamscochran Genealogy isn't that clear cut in the Hebrides. For most Hebrideans, beyond the last 200 years, there probably isn't much evidence of family ties. A fantastic resource is here: https://t.co/TWZEi6nZhS
I would also be wary of anti-Trump bias with regards to the history.
