Last month I used less than 50% of my #github#Copilot tokens.
After the billing change they've made yesterday I've spent almost 25% in a day and a half...

1/ Venezuela might hold the wild card in the U.S. debt story. 🇻🇪💰
Behind the headlines, its vast oil reserves could influence inflation, interest rates, and even the Fed’s next moves. Let’s unpack this geopolitical gamble. 🧵
2/ The U.S. debt burden has topped $38 trillion, with interest payments now more than defense spending.
High rates make it worse — every 1% increase adds hundreds of billions to annual interest costs.
3/ Now imagine oil prices falling back to $30–40 a barrel.
It’s not impossible. That could happen if Venezuela ramps up production under new deals or U.S. backing.
4/ A flood of new supply could crush inflationary pressure.
Cheaper energy filters through everything — logistics, manufacturing, transport, and consumer prices — bringing inflation down rapidly.
5/ That collapse in inflation would give the Fed room to cut rates.
A 100 basis point cut could slash mortgage rates, revive housing, and reduce U.S. interest expenses by $300–400 billion per year.
6/ For Washington, that’s a powerful incentive.
Control or influence the flow of cheap oil → control inflation → slow the debt spiral. Monetary and energy policy become two sides of the same coin.
7/ But it’s not without cost.
Oil at $30–40 would wreck margins for U.S. shale producers and ripple trouble through OPEC budgets and global alliances.
8/ For Trump, this is the ultimate double-edged sword.
Push on Venezuela and engineer short-term prosperity, but risk destabilizing the world’s energy architecture.
9/ History shows the pattern.
Empires under financial strain often turn to resources for relief — Rome with grain, Britain with oil. It buys time, but never indefinitely.
10/ If Venezuela becomes a pawn in this new debt chessboard, the stakes go far beyond oil.
It’s about how long the U.S. can finance its dominance before interest costs consume the system.
11/ This isn’t about ideology or democracy.
It’s about survival — of a financial empire built on low rates, cheap energy, and global dollar liquidity.
12/ Trump knows it’s a gamble.
Move on Venezuela, and maybe buy a few more years of breathing room. But history warns — debt bought with conquest always comes due later. ⏳
Me alegra que Nicolás Maduro, un dictador acusado de narcoterrorismo, corrupción y graves violaciones a los derechos humanos, enfrente finalmente justicia en Estados Unidos.
Pero Venezuela es una nación soberana y su futuro debe decidirse de forma democrática por los venezolanos.
Las declaraciones de Trump al decir que EE.UU. “va a dirigir el país” temporalmente y explotar su petróleo no apuntan a eso. Suenan más a ocupación que a liberación.
Queremos justicia, sí, pero también una democracia real, sin control externo.
I’m seeing some hot takes that AI assisted coding means that you don’t have to be technical anymore. That’s only gonna last you until the first database migration, or the first security issue, or the first cloud migration, or the first scale out, or the first major regression, or the first refactor that ends in slop. I am finding that I’m learning more and I have to be as technical or more technical than ever before to get the kinds of high-quality output that I expect of any code, regardless of whether it comes from my fingertips or someone else’s - including an AI.
Whether your source comes from open source libraries, your own hands, or an AI via your clever prompt, there is exactly one responsible person for the output. That is you.
I never want to be accused of gatekeeping AI assisted programming, as non-technical people can get a lot of interesting work done. Until they hit a wall, and it’s gonna surprise them how quickly they either need to get technical, or get a technical person to help untangle the mess they’ve made.
The art and science of programming is taking intent and turning it into shipping products. I will never blame an AI - nor should you - for bad output. Own the code that you ship.
