The Norman Conquest was. to the English body politic. like one of those powerful drugs which seriously disorder the constitution for the time. but if the patient has strength to bear the treatment do him permanent good. The Barons' War was. as it were. the last feverish fit resulting from the Conquest. The Normans. though they had adopted French ideas and speech. were in race closely akin to the Anglo-Danes. and the fusion between them was ..
There’s something genuinely energizing about working with startups — something I’ve been doing intensely for more than two years now. Startups operate at a different frequency: the urgency is real, the constraints are tight, and the stakes are personal. Helping them navigate the challenge of proving their business model requires not just technical depth but […]
Last edit Summary: I quite like the global Auto Revert mode. It is especially useful when I something else than Emacs sometimes changes my files. (I bet some readers immediately thought about the now-fashionable agentic coding, but plain old git switch is enough!) It has one drawback, however. I hardly ever use TeX nowadays, but when I do, I use pdf-tools. Auto Revert mode doesn’t play nice with pdfs open in Emacs, often trying to revert....

What did you make for your computer programming capstone in college? I'm considering making a platformer with libgdx but I'm not sure if that's my best option. Any other ideas?
Updated speaker lineup for the Engineering Leadership Live event in San Francisco, that I am hosting together with my friends from Augment Code.
If there’s one thing I miss about being a kid, it’s the sheer fervour I had for the media I consumed. Being an adult’s alright, but it kinda sucks knowing that I can’t experience media with the curiosity, wonder, and ability to form wild attachments that I used to have. You get what I mean? Emotional immersion , perhaps? And while I certainly miss the utter joy of characters overcoming their struggles, what oddly miss is the fear . Ok....
Warning: Major spoilers ahead! “Howl’s Moving Castle” is a 2004 animated movie written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli. At first glance, the story seems like an innocent tale of love and fantasy, but with large doses of esoteric references that lead the viewer to wonder if there’s something more behind […] The post The Hidden Meaning of the Movie “Howl’s Moving Castle” first appeared on Vigilant Citizen .
On a hilltop in the Indian state of Karnataka about 100 miles due west of Bangalore there stands a 57 foot high monolithic statue of a naked man in deep meditation. He stands upright in an almost military posture with half-closed eyes and a slight smile on his lips. Carved from a single white granite boulder. this colossal figure is one of the largest monolithic statues of the ancient world and represents Bahubali. son of the first tirthank....
Data-gathering doesn’t have to be memory-intensive. You can fit the world’s weather on a 9cm-square board, when you move the work to a web scraping API.
For the last 30 days, I did one thing almost exclusively: I built scraping systems with AI agents, from the ground up, across real targets, with real deadlines. Not prototypes designed to impress in a demo, not isolated experiments running against a toy website, but production-grade pipelines that needed to ship and keep running.
Step away from the screen for a second and look around. What do you see? Real people. Diverse bodies. Flaws, quirks, and genuine smiles. Now, unlock a teenager’s phone or turn on the television. What do they see? An elite, hyper-curated 0.1% of the most genetically blessed people on Earth—except they’ve also been Photoshopped, filtered, and smoothed out by AI.… read more “The Invisible Crisis Crushing Our Girls” The post The Invisi..
I've been running a series of conversations with developers at Zyte to understand what's actually changed in the way they work since LLMs showed up. Not the headlines. The day-to-day. What they delegate, what they don't, what they notice, what surprises them. This one was different on two counts.

Speed-to-lead made sense when the lag was unavoidable. An AI Agent removes it. Here’s what that means for how you build, staff, and measure your sales org.
the next time you spin up a VPS to give it a persistent home, you spend the better part of an afternoon rebuilding from memory: installing Scrapy, wiring up Redis, configuring the systemd units, getting Playwright's Chromium dependencies in the right state. Here's a tool to help

I have added several long conversational youtube videos into a playlist, hoping I’ll come back to the them some day, but in reality I never do that. Recently I found out that Spotify has released a new save-to-spotify CLI tool that lets you upload any audio file into your Spotify account as a private podcast episode. This is perfect for me, as I can download those youtube videos as audio files, upload them to Spotify, and listen to them ..

A recent industry retreat of senior engineering practitioners published their findings on where software development is heading. Reading it felt like someone had been reading my mind — and the minds of the people I follow online — and synthesized it all into one document. When a lot of people arrive at the same conclusions independently, that’s signal worth paying attention to. Here’s my take on each major theme.
