For me, this video embodies why SO many people bounce off of Linux and abandon desktop Linux: A simple question like "What's the d in systemd stand for?" introduces all sorts of confusion from one of, if not the most, influential people in Linux. If you have any understanding…

We finally know what the D in systemd stands for! 😎 Original Video: Linux Trivia, LinuxCon and CloudOpen North America, 2014

If your software license has a “non-compete” clause, then, I’m sorry to break it to you, it’s not free and open source software. That is proprietary software that I happen to be able to look at the code.

Orchestrating TPUs on Kubernetes with GKE is leagues beyond the nvidia nightmare. This is something alot of people miss: SREs on GKE have a much easier time managing huge TPU based workloads since the devices and drivers are automatically loaded from TPU nodepools. All you have…


i started calling this "dopamine driven development" (or ddd) - it's how llm inference providers scrap more and more "understanding" away from you, keeping you dependent. johncodes.com/archive/2025/1…

hot take: MCP is so lite weight that huge, centralized sdks is probably an anti-pattern. @Zuplo needed a thin, low dependency MCP sdk for our runtime. So I went and built one! Built on Zod 4, no express JS dependency, uses the "fetch()" API github.com/zuplo/mcp


Incredible @AmpCode easter egg 🍳 my hats off to whoever cooked this up!


first principles thinking wins again.

just read this in an investor update "older engineers who graduated from college pre-GPT are actually the best-suited for our purposes. They have fundamental programming ability that's lost amongst most of the current-gen." the AI-induced thinking/skills decay has begun wild

I mean it's hard to afford artists if you're a small indie game like *check notes* Call of Duty

On episode 25 of @opensourceready, @bdougieYO and @johncodezzz sit down with @rachelnabors to unpack the rise of agentic browsers, the ethical questions around AI-generated content, and the shift from advertising to micropayments. hubs.ly/Q03T1S-50


A bazooka is not a dangerous weapon. Most people just don't have the patience to not point it directly at their feet.

C is NOT a hard language. Most people just don’t have the patience to learn pointers properly.
