I feel you are correct. Throwing AI at this problem works reasonably well. “Rewrite this Actions workflow to run on $PROVIDER” is a sensible task.

It takes a while by hand, but I recently saw a migration of old Jenkins projects to Actions with AI (yea), and it was smooth.


I’m in a camp where Tahoe is just ugly, but worked fine on my mac and with my usage and devices. On the other hand, iOS 26 is so incredibly bad. Anything from anti-user choices, UI glitches, to keyboard… it’s tiring. It might be the one where I’m pushed to a different OS for the first time. I doubt Apple can fix itself in the near future, with the leadership they have.


I run all the betas on my macbook air just to see where things are going. When I first installed Tahoe, I thought to myself, I guess it's just the beta, there's no way they are going to keep this look...

My workstation is pinned firmly to sequoia right now and will be until it's untenable or they undo their new UI design direction, which is, as you pointed out, ghastly.


Good read. If I imagine all these layers of Agent to Agent economic automations, I’m hopeful for a new class of technopriest hackers that are able to exploit nuances and weak security. And build new hidden empires within those systems.


I’d like to hear someone from MS if this has any impact, or if the report is overblowing it? Closing a library and pushing something called “Skilling” Hub sounds cartoonishly stupid and disrespectful.


It’s very close on their quality IMHO. Miles better on the value. I bought a Lumibricks set this year, after decades of buying Lego.

The set design (Cafe) was nice and it makes a good display piece. I liked their build techniques and integrated lights. The individual bricks were clean and with good color uniformity. But after a life of building Lego sets, I was able to quickly tell that tactile forces for connecting pieces were different to Lego. I will buy more of their sets, but I will keep buying Lego too.


I spent a moment wondering why did Cloudflare buy an on-prem tooling startup https://www.replicated.com



The cloud is just someone else’s on-prem


It sounds like the Lynx browser: https://lynx.browser.org/


Sorta, but what I have in mind is a graphical browser, not exactly like the OP. It would have CSS support under the user's control, not the website's control. Navigation would also be more constrained and predictable than the totally open-ended nature it has today. That would enable things like perfect universal dark mode, and excellent accessibility. Fuzzy navigation is on my wishlist too, based on a predictable nav structure.

If you fancy more BDD-style testing with a Gherkin-like syntax, there is also Shellspec https://shellspec.info / https://github.com/shellspec/shellspec


Shellspec is delightful to use. Every time I go to test with it I end up finding bugs. But also every time I go to test with it I end up convincing myself to not use bash. I imagine the same would be true of bash_unit.
