Everytime I use an airport lounge, I’m reminded of how much of a scam they are. Every lounge at PHX currently has a two hour wait


AI coding magnifies the abilities you have as a software engineer. An excellent assistant but a poor leader. This is greatest time to be that engineer who cares about quality because large scale efforts are easier. An ergonomic refactor can be done in half the time

I am learning that I am an unusual CEO in many ways. Some know that I still code on nights and weekends (github.com/lattner) despite a busy “day job”. As part of that, I care deeply about sw development as a profession, and what “AI anxiety” is doing to many early and…

I’ve seen several people have fake commit graphs like this. Not even ashamed either. One was even a director of documentation that pointed to their commit graph frequently. They had a public repo with an autocommit github action

Quote the President of the United States, go to jail.

This man remains in custody on a $2,000,000 bond for posting a political meme in a discussion about a Charlie Kirk vigil. However much offense it caused, there's no serious argument it was a threat. It's hard to see the arrest and charges as anything but politically motivated.

I don't know what labs are doing to these poor LLMs during RL but they are mortally terrified of exceptions, in any infinitesimally likely case. Exceptions are a normal part of life and healthy dev process. Sign my LLM welfare petition for improved rewards in cases of exceptions.

Hey remember that free software that I get for FREE?! Well it sucks ass Such an embarrassing take

No wonder iTerm2 is so bloated. They just added a web browser inside the terminal. Who asked for this? Empty iTerm2 window now uses 400MB of RAM :(

Dead internet theory is becoming less theory everyday

I just read this new paper from Google and I’m absolutely buzzing 🤯 The core idea is almost offensively simple: ditch recurrence and convolutions, and use only attention. That’s it. And somehow…it unlocks a whole new regime of performance, scale, and simplicity. Here’s what…

Is asdf still the default for managing a bunch of software versions? Anything else people like? (Do not say Nix, not there yet…)

For context, they developed an mRNA-based therapeutic cancer vaccine, slated for distribution free of charge to cancer patients. The vaccine is not preventive, but designed to treat existing cancers by personalizing each dose to a patient's tumor profile, using AI-powered neural…

God I love watching exited founders take the corporate ankle weights off

I get asked the same about terminals all the time. “How will you turn this into a business? What’s the monetization strategy?” The monetization strategy is that my bank account has 3 commas mate.

KYAML in Kubernetes 1.34 feels like the first step toward fixing one of my biggest Kubernetes gripes. I still think HCL would have prevented more footguns but this looks like real progress


nothing says romance like “i checked your Q3 performance review before our first date.” also: you're employed at which major payroll processing company?
