People seem shocked that the author of Clean Code doesn't read code anymore. But that should not be surprising.

Why did I write Clean Code? What is the goal of keeping code clean? To get it out of the way of the real job -- thinking.

ANNOUNCING THE 2026 WOLF PRIZE LAUREATES IN CHEMISTRY
The 2026 Wolf Prize in Chemistry is awarded to Pascal Mayer, Shankar Balasubramanian and David Klenerman for developing impactful, low-cost, next generation DNA sequencing methods for genomic medicine.
Their work helped transform DNA sequencing into a technology capable of operating at extraordinary speed and scale.
Balasubramanian and Klenerman pioneered a massively parallel sequencing approach that contributed to a million-fold improvement in sequencing speed and cost, helping make it possible to sequence a human genome for under $200.
Mayer played a pivotal role in turning those breakthroughs into a practical high-throughput sequencing system, integrating the chemistry, microfluidics, optics and computational components needed to make the technology work at scale.
Today, the sequencing platform that grew from this work forms the technological foundation for more than 90% of global sequencing data, powering major advances in genomics and precision medicine.
Congratulations to the 2026 Wolf Prize Laureates in Chemistry!

Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR.

We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets.
