- Lamb of God, a true classic, This album takes me back to high school. I don’t think I listened to the sacrament album as much, but “The Ashes of the Wake” was my jam for awhile, particularly hourglass. Note This post is a thought [1].

- damn Johnathan Blow is not afraid to give you the cold hard opinions. If you want to be good you need to spend your early most formative years doing hard things, because you will not do it later, then goes on to say you should not do anything related to web development during that time as it will rot your brain.

- Thorsten is always a great listen with well thought out answers. I thought the advice “all you have to be is good” from his is so great, so many people focus too hard on credentials and certificates, they miss the time in the saddle and raw, just being good at what you do. They talk a lot about industry trends and that ai/llms have been here long enough to see that they are the new iphone. In some way you need to learn to work with them. Much of the minutia is churn, it will change and we will forget about it in six months. Working at amp right now is really trying to focus on releasing exactly the right thing and not everything. We’ve been given these great models that can churn out poc very quickly, it is our job to focus on what the right thing to adopt is. Note This post is a thought [1].

- Prime on Big A they make a really great mix. I really like primes perspective on the layoffs here. Adding in an ops perspecive a bit here. Maybe inspiring a full level post. infra, ops, sre roles are incentivised to keep uptime, that is your goal in these roles. Idk how it works on big products, its probably more greased, higher stakes, more well thoguht out, more well discussed. In my role for many small internal applications developers constantly use my platform different and find new edge cases that we never expected to hit. Depending on my week I’m either the team blocker and I’m fighting fires all week making sure new releases are getting out and stay running while everything is breaking, or I’m tending to the fire lanes, predicting the new edges, looking at previous outages and asking myself how do we never see this category of failure again. I think AI is really good a enabling both of these. I think you can probably run a leaner team with AI on the latter half. AI is really good at implementing things consitent (if you are careful) and fast. But when shit hits the fan, you still need the people who know the systems to get things back up quickly and prevent a cascade o...

- I havent used windows in years at this point, but I feel this on the products I am forced to use for work. Basic features are not right, kinda work most of the time. New features, ai integrations, new skin/design, but still teams can’t use my system mic appropriately yet every other app does. Also feel this computers have not got significantly better since around getting ssds. Yes they are better, but not at the same rate of being obsolete every two years. I hope we hit local model land and it flips this a bit, not in quite the obsolete every two years range, but some new hardware actually lets you do meaningful more new things.

Programming Still Sucks. — Writing Sorry Peter. — I'm at a birthday party, and while most people here also work in tech, there's always a Guy with a Real Job. You know, a physical job, building some or other thing people need. And... stvn.sh [1] Absolute banger of a post, this is the time we are living in. Explain “are you afraid AI is going to take your job” to a non tech blue collar worker. Broken over promises, greed, and projects mismanaged by leadership who has no idea what the day to day work actually does and how critical it is. I’m not quite in Sara’s position, but I feel something shielded by half of this working deep inside of a non tech part of a non tech company leading a very small rag tag team with get shit done attitude. But I feel it, I see colleagues hit by these blasts.b I get clipped with shrapnel from some of the largest blasts.

Red Squares — the GitHub outage graph A satirical contribution graph: red squares track GitHub.com platform outages instead of green squares tracking commits. red-squares.cian.lol [1] yet another interesting visualization of github outages. These guys are getting raked over the coals. It really sucks to see. Not quite tears to my eyes mitchelh [2]. But it feels like a core part of opensource has been dying for a few years now and is now getting ripped to shreds.

Desktop Crash 2026 | Nic Payne PC Crash Desktop crashed days ago, apparently my primary drive has been going bad for a while and eventually it just died. live-booted to ubuntu server found re pype.dev [1] I’m taking this as a reminder to treat every machine like its about to catch fire, any machine with a user regularly using it already has the match lit. I need to go through and commit draft blog posts, dirty homelab [2] POC’s need to get out or get in, and not forever be in limbo. My efforts this year have been well intention ed to keep projects clean, on main, not dirty, but I think agents are making it worse before they make it better. I have some new ideas forming and old ideas for managing this have failed me. Note This post is a thought [3].
