Code with Jason podcast:
In this episode I talk with Bob Martin about his work with programming languages using AI, the essence of software engineering, and why understanding epistemology matters for developers. We also explore dependency inversion and the benefits of a robust test suite.

BREAKING: A Norwegian company has just raised $40m to revolutionise chipmaking and take on ASML!

To make chips manufacturers use a process called lithography which uses light to draw complex circuits that form the foundation ​of advanced artificial intelligence chips.

Lace Lithography has developed a new approach that uses a helium atom beam.

The cofounders, Bodil Holst and Adrià Salvador Palau, have spent their careers working across atomic beam physics, instrumentation engineering, and applied AI.

Today the company has announced a $40m Series A led by Atomico (Sasha Vidiborskiy), with participation from M12 (Michael Stewart), Linse Capital, SETT, and Nysnø.

The startup has ⁠developed prototypes with the aim of having a pilot up and running by 2029.

VERY COOL - congrats!

Today I'm thrilled to open source what I've been working on...

Meet Fabro (https://t.co/2RfC11epWW), the dark software factory for small teams of expert engineers.

Fabro gets you out of the REPL (read-eval-prompt-loop) by layering deterministic workflow graphs over agent sessions. It's batteries included with cloud sandboxes, quality sign offs, multi-model ensembles, and Git checkpoints.

It's MIT licensed so you can fork and own your AI coding toolchain. Single Rust binary with zero deps.

I'd love to hear what you think!

Once I got involved in guiding the architecture, all the pieces fell into place. I have a nice layered architecture now, with dependencies all well managed. I built a tool to check those dependencies on every test run. I also built a tool to help me visualize the architecture.

Conclusion: Architecture remains, so far, in the realm of human judgement. AIs, as intelligent and insightful as they appear to be, do not have that level of insight and judgement.

Bottom line: Don't trust the AIs to create the architecture. They'll just muddy the waters.

@dhh @peer_rich Agreed ! I run two claws on an old mac mini 2012

[Tom Henrik Aadland @tomhenrik]

Built a mini AI agent lab on an old Mac Mini 🦞

Proxmox → isolated network → templated LXC containers with Claude Code pre-installed → Tailscale as the only way in

Spinning up a new sandboxed agent takes seconds. Experiment, break things, destroy, clone a fresh one. First bot Pinchy is already on WhatsApp via @openclaw.

The future is having fun in your closet.

[Tom Henrik Aadland @tomhenrik]

@fortelabs Dusted off an old Mac Mini. Installed Proxmox. Built an isolated network. Created templated containers with Claude Code baked in.

Now I spin up sandboxed AI agents in seconds. First one is Pinchy — lives on WhatsApp and does my bidding.

Total hardware cost: $0 🦞
