No, we have CI/CD at home

The misaligned incentives, on both the client and consultant sides, that doom most purple team engagements before they start.

Pluribus We were watching Pluribus for the last 10 days and finished the first season today. I have mixed feelings about the show. I especially found the first few episodes hard to watch because I couldn’t stand Carol. It got easier towards the end of the season but I can’t ...

Nice editorial from The Register on finding RSS again One of the snags of reporting on the tech sector is tackling the constant stream of announcements of radical new technology that is going to change everything. Another, of course, is trying to find out about them via ...

Pull Requests were invented for open source to manage the contributions of outsiders - a gate to accept or decline contributions of eager supporters or devs. Actual teams should be doing trunk-based development, with one-piece flow so PRs are only really a trigger for some ...

How to Do Code Reviews in the Agentic Era I've been working on open-source for over 25 years, I suspect that's why I accept The LLM as just another project contributor:

My “unpopular” take: I

The thing that we all missed is that WordPress is the best candidate for a standard for what an individual social network message is.

If I knew how AI would work with software, I would've done things differently to prepare for this. I find myself wanting to ask questions about my code that I don't have proper tools to answer. I have to get all my code managed with the new system, but not sure that's even the right way to go. Once I started using it to build full bits of deployed code, not to just answer questions about the work I'm doing one day at a time, I've become confused about planning my own work.

Seems like there's something wrong with one of the amplifier modules in the contraption! This explains a lot, two channels are really quiet for some reason. I think maybe a bad solder job by yours truly on the gain pot? I'll have to take it apart to see, and I'm considering ...

This is fine. UK Biobank, which holds the medical records of 500,000 British volunteers, is one of the world’s most comprehensive stores of health information and is credited with driving breakthroughs in cancer, dementia and diabetes research. But scientists approved to...

After learning about the IndieWeb slash pages idea had a disability slash, I thought about writing up my own. In truth the page has been published for several weeks and it’s had 17 edits and I think now, finally, it conveys things accurately and is typo free. No doubt I’ll ...

The new SEO is giving agents data in a format that works. I am a big fan of markdown and favour text over static site generators like Jekyll over huge bloated JavaScript frameworks. The implementation today is simple: content negotiation. When a request comes in with Acc...

Coder is derogatory term btw, as if our work was like a telegram coder, but it's understandable I guess because all the lay people see is us typing on a computer and being grouchy when they interrupt our train of thought. Coder is analogous to calling a chef a chopper. You have to understand the activity you're proposing that AI is replacing. And I find all the discussions about art very harmful -- because AI opens up graphic art to people who never thought they could do it. I bet you some absolutely fantastic artists are blossoming right now. Calling it slop is just as disrespectful as calling art expressed in software "code." BTW they said the same bullshit about bloggers and we know how that turned out.

I gotta say some days I start with a lot on my mind and am driven to write. This is one of those days. Maybe I'm inspired by the torrent of posts by my blogger friend ma.tt. Blogging can be a solitary thing or a relative thing. When you blog about something I have something to say about, I write on my blog and link back to yours, that's relative. The problem with comments in the old blogging world is that my comment resides on your blog. No more of that. I want equal stature for all writing, your comment should appear on your blog, yet still be easy to find from the other person's blog (and this is very important) with their support, it has to be something they want their readers to see. Otherwise the comment is still on your blog where your readers can see it.

24 years ago I had life-saving heart surgery. The treatment was not available to my grandmother who had the genes from which I inherited the condition. She died very young, but that was normal in her time, there was no treatment for this kind of disease beyond, don't exert yourself too much for the rest of your (short) life. Do you think heart surgeons are less useful now that we've had such amazing innovation in one freaking lifetime? Right now we're just beginning to discover new ways AI gives us the same kind of new power that bypass surgery gave to surgeons.

digital aliasing sounds nice through pine

If we can get the web to come back, Scripting News could have new relevance. The age of the silo really hurt my rep. But I think people will ultimately appreciate that I never turned by back on the web. It was either the web or the highway as far as I was concerned. I've already lived under the thumb of a corporate platform vendor. I'd rather give up than try it again. And by the web coming back, I mean when products are expected to interop, the way podcast clients interop. I don't care if they're forced to do it, or do it willfully, with gusto -- but I know and so do people who tried to develop on owned platforms know, that it just doesn't work if there's a BigCo in charge of your destiny. There's always an acquisition or reorg just around the corner that sacrifices your future, often for no reason other than they don't care.
