Today is a weird one, so much in engineering is about AI.

Check out the live coding trance video and pretty Stockholm metro videos.

Today is a weird one, so much in engineering is about AI. Check out the live coding trance video and pretty Stockholm metro videos. Engineering Extremely Lazy and Immensely Curious - I still think it makes you dumb. Mediations #35: Learning. Again. And Again. - learning how AI fits in and how we fit in. Implementing a clean room Z80 / ZX Spectrum emulator with Claude Code - is it clean code if Claude probably had access to a Z80 emulator at some point?

I enjoyed the interview with the OpenClaw creator, even if I hate about half of his opinions.
The interview with the baker is also great.

Engineering Michael Stapelberg: PSA: Did you know that it’s unsafe to put code diffs into your commit messages? - this is only for patches, not merging PRs Evolving Git for the next decade [LWN] security & large files are interesting.

If you watch one thing this weekend, watch the video about being misled about renewable energy.
Spoiler: It's not just about renewable energy.

I still haven't decided what I think about coding with AI. It has been a great help and I see all the drawbacks. My links reflect this.

It is a bit sad that he is leaving In Our Time, but I enjoyed the interview with Melvyn Bragg.

The blog post about curiosity as a leader is short and great.

It is a bit sad that he is leaving In Our Time, but I enjoyed the interview with Melvyn Bragg. The blog post about curiosity as a leader is short and great. Leadership Should you include engineers in your leadership meetings? - interesting idea, not really in my area at the moment. Curiosity is the first-step in problem solving - I think curiosity is always a good place to start from.

This week I enjoyed the podcast about Venezuela, the blog post about asking, and the one from Lara Hogan about employees getting stuck.

This week I enjoyed the podcast about Venezuela, the blog post about asking, and the one from Lara Hogan about employees getting stuck. Leadership How can we make asking easier? - if you want public question, you have to make it safe, otherwise accept private ones. Creating momentum when an employee is stuck - this was more helpful than I expected :-) I’m Going to Dig a Hole - sometimes you have to let people do stupid things.

This week I enjoyed the podcast about Godbolt’s Rule and the one with Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

You might notice more podcasts this week. Something went wrong with my link collection system recently.

I am also moving the blog … more things will go wrong.

I am also moving the blog … more things will go wrong. Leadership Stop Picking Sides: Manage the Tension Between Adaptation and Optimization - nicely put. It’s similar to the creation vs maintenance tension.

First round of links for 2026. Everything is bad, so have some links to cheer you up.

I really liked the article about visibility, the one about Friday deploys, and sitting alone in a café … which I can relate to.
I am a big fan of Bill Nighy's podcast, that certainly will improve your mood.

For some reason, the random section is full of cassette tape related links.

Clearly, I have been slacking for the last weeks.

Just look at all the links from other people at the bottom!

This might also be the last post for the year, as I will be enjoying the festive season.

Nonetheless, a lot of great content this week. I discovered a few new blogs that will keep me busy for the future.

Short, but with lots of good stuff. The fad of engineering management, drug policy in Spain, and Mr. TIFF are my favourites.

Have a lovely weekend!
