More Details Than You Probably Wanted to Know About Recent Updates to My Notes Site Writing about the big beautiful mess that is making things for the world wide web. blog.jim-nielsen.com [1] I love the level of thought that Jim has put into these changes and making sure that urls don’t change. I’ve got a big change in flight to my main site and this is one of the reasons that I’ve been sitting on it so long. I want to make sure urls arent broken, redirects work as they should, and there are no 404’s from existing urls. Currently the new version only exists on a separate deployement https://go.waylonwalker.com/ I also added the ability to “shuffle” between posts. This is mostly for myself. I like to randomly jump through notes I’ve published in the past for reoccurring inspiration Love this idea and have it on my new site already as well, and have really enjoyed using it by pressing it a dozen or so times over the course of a few sessions. It highlights that I have too many posts like stars and thoughts and I should do some weighting to main posts. mine is at https://go.waylonwalker.com/random/ Note This post is a thought [2]. It’s a short note that I make about someone e...

Notes – 06:34 Mon 23 Mar 2026 Notes – 06:34 Mon 23 Mar 2026 dbushell.com · dbushell.com [1] Does anyone think fast-code will continue to pay the same salary? The answer isn’t to switch your brain off during your McCode shift and write a poem after work. Your job will be replaced by a Banglasdeshi slop-shop if AI improves (which is inevitable, apparently). Possibly the same sweatshop that loomed my £3 T-shirt. The Luddites didn’t accept their fate so easily. David has some good points here, but I’m feeling the opposite direction a bit. Execs have always liked keeping the PM’s and the people steering the ship close by and were willing to farm out more and more grunt work. It feels like we are in a weird phase where there used to be a big group of people paid to write code. A few of them are exceptionally good at it and will remain. There will be a need for these people everywhere. Somehow we still need people hand editing assembly code optimizations, fortran, and cobol today. Those industries largely moved on, but a few great ones remain. I think this fast-code slop factory is going to be a short forgotten time in history, but no one yet knows what’s next. We are all waiting t...

Today I learned that docker creates an empty /.dockerenv file to indicate that you are running in a docker container. Other runtimes like podman commonly use /run/.containerenv. kubernetes uses neither of these, the most common way to detect if you are running in kubernetes is to check for the presence of the KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST environment variable. There will also be a directory at /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount that contains the service account credentials if you are running in kubernetes.

Dreaming of a ten-year computer – alexwlchan alexwlchan.net [1] Great gusto here from someone looking to fill landfills less. Get more use from what they paid for. Dodge some tough times in the hardware industry. I’m going to argue that the 10 year computer is not one bit crazy right now. No idea what the future entails, if local llms get good enough to really get so useful they feel required this could easily change. One issue I had with the post as they are looking to get a machine for the next 10 years is they were so focused on themself that they missed the point. They were so focused on buying something that would work for them for 10 years that they bought something brand new rather than thinking about the bigger issue of how do we get hardware to last 10+ years. Some factor of this involves giving our devices a second life. Two things went wrong here. First it appears they they have a perfectly good imac with a broken screen. I know nothing about apple/imac, assuming that the screen is toast and unrepairable, I know you can ssh into a mac this feels like good potential for server hardware. Next they purchased a brand new mac mini. Hardware has been good for a long time,...

- Very interesting takes from @thdxr in this interview. A lot has been hashed out by others all over the place, but a hot take here is that code quality is higher than ever right now. Codebases are becoming more consistent than ever. If you are not starting with a good consistent base from the start you are poising your context and doomed to fail and have all the common failures of ai written code. He still reads almost every PR, and will read all of the code eventually. There are a few cases where reading the PR is not worthwhile only when its low stakes, knows that good patterns have been established and followed. He argues that someone needs to be the expert of the code and of the product still and fears that too many people not looking at prs will fail companies. Note This post is a thought [1].

- Kids are leaving the party early, not drinking, cant watch netflix without the laptop open. They are leaving the party early to check on their agents. I get it, that feeling that you need to eek out one more prompt, keep your agents running. if they arent running what are you even doing. If not you 6 others are ready to pass you up. The timeline to be first has shrunk to nothing but unachievable. Note This post is a thought [1].

Pluralistic: The web is bearable with RSS (07 Mar 2026) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow pluralistic.net [1] It’s wild how much of a hit Google took from killing reader, almost any time I hear about killedbygoogle, reader is the top of the list. Its the thing that we all remember being really good and the incumbants just did not match up. Somehow we are here 13 years later still bitching about it, despite it only having a 6 year run. You should probably get an rss reader, and follow some incredible people that make feeds. Most sites that produce content have the ability to subscribe over rss. Unlike @pluralistic [2], I dont read in my reader. My reader is just a list of links out to the web and I typically read it how the author intended on their site. I nod a long to Cory’s enshitified internet just as much as the next guy, I love text based interfaces, I despise the bloat that js has brought on. But I don’t believe all js is bad, I don’t turn it off, even though he has me questioning this now. News sites kinda suck, we can agree there, but its rare that a small indie web creator has fully enshitified their site with js. I don’t buy that. Sub to the feeds. Note ...

Justin Searls @searls I need a new blog to subscribe to. Know any you think I'd like?

External Link X (formerly Twitter) · x.com [1] One of the well worded shitty messages I’ve seen, good severance, help, timeline to cut off coms. we’re not making this decision because we’re in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we’re already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that’s accelerating rapidly. Much better than the get rid of people cause AI can do the work. Honestly I feel this though. I was just talking with some colleages how do we divvy work in the age of agents without just constantly walking on each other. If each of us is now an architect who is managing teams of junior agents under us it feels MUCH different than before. I’m far from working in a large software org like this and I’m feeling it. I only imagine that it gets worse the more people that have to orchestrate around each other. Appreciate the honesty and transparance, but man this sucks for tho...
