TDD has lost all meaning. Here is why...

I want to hear about how you got into “Your Thing” . You know what I mean — the thing that you’re passionate about. Maybe the thing that you’re known for, or just the thing that you care a lot about. It might be something that you consider to be part of your identity… The hobby, or skill, or job, or passion, or style, or drive, or commitment, or affiliation, or whate

When it comes to communication, there’s two extremes we can take: We can hope that those we’re interacting with just magically are in tune with us; we can communicate as little as possible, hoping that they’ll fill in the blanks with what we meant … or… We can put in the effort to be crystal clear about what we mean to say. To say things that we might think are obvi

We all know the rules — don’t cross the line ; stay in line ; don’t get out of line . Whether it came from our education, our parents, or just the factory-based industrial economies that our cultures have reformed themselves around these last 200 years, we know that to be a good worker (and, maybe, a good person ?) means to respect the line . But, the world is changing. And with it cha

Have you ever thought about what in your life makes you hopeful ? Or, what saps your hope? I realized recently that my mental health often appears to be pretty tightly tied to how hopeful I feel in a given season. That seems significant. It means stewarding hope and stewarding hopefulness is much more important than I’ve tended to give space for. Churchill’s words resonate. So, it&rsqu

“Peacemaking doesn’t mean passivity. İt is the act of interrupting injustice without mirroring injustice, the act of disarming evil without destroying the evildoer, the act of finding a third way that is neither fight nor flight but the careful, arduous pursuit of reconciliation and justice. İt is about a revolution of love that is big enough to set both the oppressed and the oppressor

Creation works in cycles. Air in, air out. Food in, food out. Day in, day out. Respecting the seasons we’re in — knowing where we are in our personal cycles — can mean the difference between keeping rolling forward, and derailment. Ever try inhaling and exhaling at the same time? So it is with doing the right thing in the wrong season.

While I mentioned a few weeks back that I'm now recovering from AI Psychosis , that doesn't mean I've given up on the technology completely. I'm writing more emails, and engaging with human beings as much as I can, and that part's been great. I still use agents as a glorified typewriter to generate code, and still very much get my hands in the dirt and sling code myself. I've also gotten quite obs

A federal judge ruled the Anthropic blacklisting unlawful. The harder question is what “unlawful” means when consequences arrive before the courts.

Ernie Smith’s Columbia House retrospective reads like SaaS: penny bait, negative-option billing, and retention that means making leaving annoying.

Electronic Arts completed its $55 billion sale to a consortium led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund with Silver Lake and Affinity Partners—the largest LBO on record—and what $20 billion of acquisition debt may mean for studios, franchises, and players.

Slashdot highlights Ben Shimkus’s reporting on GM’s software and services push—OnStar revenue, high software margins, and remote features that expire— arguing that buying a vehicle should mean owning its features, not an extended trial that turns into another recurring charge.

OpenAI's Thibault Sottiaux explains that GPT-5.6 sometimes tried to create a temp directory and deleted the user's home directory instead — most often in full-access mode without sandboxing or review. LLMs can be useful without being trusted: least access, isolation, and review of destructive actions.
