I Already Lost This Once
The work is yours if you brought the judgment, the context, the decisions about what to build and what to leave out. The work is yours if you can defend every choice in it. The keystrokes are a delivery mechanism. They always were.

HybridCache in ASP.NET Core - New Caching Library
ASP.NET Core has traditionally offered two caching options: in-memory caching and distributed caching. Each has its trade-offs. In-memory caching using IMemoryCache is fast but limited to a single server. Distributed caching with IDistributedCache works across multiple servers using a backplane. .NET 9 introduces HybridCache, a new library that combines the best of both approaches. It prevents common caching problems like cache stampede. It also adds useful features like tag-based invalidation and better performance monitoring.

Alan Cache, the best caching library? (Part 1)
The plan was to survey all existing caching methods, understand each team’s needs, and then build a single internal product: an adaptive, hybrid cache that would work both in local memory and on Redis, with proper observability, monitoring, and administration tools, and with a set of advanced features that none of the existing approaches could offer. After a few months of work, Alan Cache was born.

Communication Breakdown
I want to pull on a thread that we talked about in the beginning - the three emerging camps of peoples relationships to AI. This sits right at the heart of my own tension right now - I’m trying to stay on the frontier, discovering the patterns that work and those that don’t. At the same time, I’m thinking about my peers, and the impact of these changes on them and on our profession. I feel like I’m losing my ability to even talk to some folks, and it stresses me out.

AI Shrinks the Team, Not the Problem
The coordination problem does not change. The need for someone to own the outcome does not change. The fragility of interfaces does not change. The cost of getting decisions wrong does not change. Organisations that understand this will use AI to make their teams more effective without assuming they can make them smaller in proportion. They will recognise that a 10-person team producing the output of 30 needs better coordination structures, not fewer coordinators.

Don't Let AI Write For You
The goal of writing is not to have written. It is to have increased your understanding, and then the understanding of those around you. When you are tasked to write something, your job is to go into the murkiness and come out of it with structure and understanding. To conquer the unknown.

The last quiet thing
Nothing you own is finished. Everything exists in a state of permanent incompletion, permanently needing. Your phone needs updates, needs charging, needs storage cleared, needs passwords rotated. Your apps need permissions reviewed, terms accepted, preferences re-configured after every update. Your subscriptions need evaluating, need renewing, need canceling, need justifying to yourself every month when the charge appears. The purchase isn't the end of anything. It's the first day of a relationship you didn't agree to, with no clean way out.

Emotion concepts and their function in a large language model
it appears that the model uses functional emotions—patterns of expression and behavior modeled after human emotions, which are driven by underlying abstract representations of emotion concepts. This is not to say that the model has or experiences emotions in the way that a human does. Rather, these representations can play a causal role in shaping model behavior—analogous in some ways to the role emotions play in human behavior—with impacts on task performance and decision-making.

Prompt Pantry – Better prep. Better results.
Most people wing it. They sit down with AI and improvise. That's like walking into a kitchen and tossing random ingredients in a pan. Sometimes it works. Usually it doesn't. Good prep changes the result. The best AI users don't know magic words. They've prepped their ingredients: who they're cooking for, what they're making, how it should taste.

Staying invisible is costing you more than being cringe ever will
I believe every person has a perspective worth communicating, and not because the algorithm demands it, but because honest expression contributes to something larger than any one post. It creates resonance. One person’s willingness to say something real gives permission to the next person, and then the next. That’s how movements get built and how communities form. That’s how ideas actually travel.

The Economics of Software Teams: Why Most Organizations Are Flying Blind
Software development is one of the most capital-intensive activities a modern company undertakes, and it is also one of the least understood from a financial perspective. The people making daily decisions about what to build, what to delay, and what to abandon are rarely given the financial context to understand what those decisions actually cost. This is not a coincidence. It is a structural condition that most organizations have maintained, quietly and consistently, for roughly two decades.

Code Is Cheap Now, And That Changes Everything
Developers who try to micromanage agent output will struggle. Developers who learn to specify, verify, and iterate will thrive. The 10% that went up 1000x is judgment, specification, and verification. The 90% that went to zero is the typing.

Run two instances from day one ✌️
If you’re building a service that will eventually run multiple instances, this article is for you. I think you should run at least two instances from day one. Doing so helps you uncover hidden bugs early—like port conflicts, stale caches, and locking issues—so you can avoid expensive rewrites later.

As we build, so we believe
I have no idea what I actually believe about how AI will transform the industry. What I know is that if I get to work building it, I will learn what it is that I believe. They will reinforce each other. I will find my footing through walking the road and doing the work.

No blockers
We could ask… "If there are no blockers, why isn’t the work done yet?" "If there are no blockers, why are there two tickets with your name on them?" "If there are no blockers, why wasn’t there an update to this ticket today?" Almost certainly you’ll get a list of reasons that is mostly made up of real blockers that the team doesn’t think of as being blockers.

Poor code and the RAS
The people who aren’t seeing the problems in the code, have never trained their RAS to look for problems in the code, and so they honestly don’t see them. “The code all looks great to me”. This is why we continue to propagate poor code - because we can’t fix what we can’t see.

Nobody Is Holding the Rope
if something went wrong with our AI systems tomorrow, an unexplainable output, a biased decision, a data breach, a regulatory inquiry, who in this organisation would I call first? If the answer is a committee, a shared inbox, or a long pause followed by uncertainty, you already know what you need to build. One person. Clear mandate. Real authority. Full accountability.

Rewriting Project Claw Code
The Claude Code source had been exposed, and the entire dev community was in a frenzy. My girlfriend in Korea was genuinely worried I might face legal action from Anthropic just for having the code on my machine — so I did what any engineer would do under pressure: I sat down, ported the core features to Python from scratch, and pushed it before the sun came up. The whole thing was orchestrated end-to-end using oh-my-codex (OmX) by @bellman_ych — a workflow layer built on top of OpenAI's Codex (@OpenAIDevs).

Vibe coding could mark the end of the App Store review process as we know it
With the launch of models like Claude Opus 4.5, it suddenly became possible to ask AI to build something for you, and it’d do it in a nearly fully functional way. That level of accuracy led to people taking a hands off approach to app building, and even enabled people who’ve never coded before to make apps. Whether or not you like this trend is another discussion. Either way, there’s one thing that holds true: App Store review isn’t cut out for it.

Evolved Robots Are Born to Run and Refuse to Die
To design the most effective combinations, the engineers used AI to evolve novel body configurations. Instead of sticking with standard dog- or human-like designs, the AI churned out strange new “species” of machines that no human engineer would have conceived. When connected to other modules, the metamachines undulate like seals, bound like lizards, or spring like kangaroos.

Mistral CEO demands EU AI 'levy' to pay cultural sector
Operators of AI models in Europe should pay "a revenue-based levy... reflecting their use of content publicly available online," Arthur Mensch wrote in an op-ed for the Financial Times. "Proceeds would flow into a central European fund dedicated to investing in new content creation and supporting Europe's cultural sectors," he added.

Nobody knows what programming will look like in two years
The act of programming has lived in extract for 45 years and we’re used to that,” he said. Then the genie of generative AI coding assistants escaped from the bottle, “and all of those certainties have been thrown out of the window,” he said. Exploration doesn’t look very much like engineering from the books. “It’s about cutting corners to get answers, throwing away what you’ve done, starting over, being creative, sniffing out opportunities,” Beck said.

How threat actors are using self-hosted GitHub Actions runners as backdoors

A Brief History & Ethos of the Digital Garden
A garden is a collection of evolving ideas that aren’t strictly organised by their publication date. They’re inherently exploratory – notes are linked through contextual associations. They aren’t refined or complete - notes are published as half-finished thoughts that will grow and evolve over time. They’re less rigid, less performative, and less perfect than the personal websites we’re used to seeing.

Semantic Anchors
Semantic anchors are well-defined terms, methodologies, and frameworks that serve as reference points when communicating with Large Language Models (LLMs). They act as shared vocabulary that triggers specific, contextually rich knowledge domains within an LLM’s training data. Think of them as shortcuts to rich context - instead of explaining a complex methodology from scratch, you can invoke a semantic anchor and the LLM will activate its entire knowledge base about that concept.

This Has Happened Before. It's Happening Again.
The developers who will be best positioned in three years are the ones who started genuinely engaging with agentic coding today. Not using it as a fancy autocomplete. Actually engaging with it, letting go of implementation as the primary measure of their contribution, developing fluency in a new kind of collaboration between human judgment and machine capability.

The Birth, Death, and Rebirth of Ideas
Throughout the ages, humans have come up with ideas. Some ideas never become more than a thought. Others spread globally, affecting people for a long time. The life of ideas seems to be an eternal cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth.
