John Pfaff is right

So to recap:
•Trump illegally bombed Iran.
•Iran responded by closing the Straight of Hormuz, thus spiking oil prices.
•Trump is now responding by lifting sanctions on Iranian oil, thus funding the regime he's bombing—all as the Straight of Hormuz remains closed.

So in short, Trump bombed Iran, raised oil prices for Americans, and gave Iran more money. Masterful gambit by the author of the Art of the Deal.

Are we great yet?

My advice - not either of my employers’ advice - to ANZ orgs regarding to US/Israel/Iran war cyber attacks: seeing a ton of activity. Some targeted, lots opportunistic. If you’re not a geopolitical target, increase threat posture. It’s too chaotic to fully predict and models can change at any time.

OpenAI is buying Astral https://openai.com/index/openai-to-acquire-astral/

1. I'm happy Astral got their exit (which we all knew was the end goal)
2. I'm glad no one will accuse me of trying to kill the company anymore by working on standards or saying there are other workflow tools
3. I'm taking a wait-and-see view (e.g. Astral already said more AI is coming to their tools https://blog.pamelafox.org/2026/03/learnings-from-pyai-conference.html#:~:text=Astral%20is%20also%20re%2Dprioritizing%20based%20off%20the%20move%20towards%20100%25%20agentic%20coding%2C%20with%20less%20emphasis%20on%20tools%20that%20would%20be%20used%20solely%20by%20a%20developer%20who%20is%20manually%20typing.)
4. I'm going to continue to work on standards for a baseline workflow experience to make my kid happy someday

Iran war energy crisis is a renewable energy wake-up call

The Iran war is exposing how much the global economy still depends on fragile fossil fuel supplies. The conflict has virtually choked off the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane for a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas. That's shaking up markets and pushing prices higher. Countries reliant on imported fossil fuels — from wealthy industrial economies to poorer developing nations — are facing major disruptions that can quickly ripple through utility bills, food prices, transport costs and electrical grids. Analysts say the crisis is a stark reminder that energy security is not just about stockpiles and shipping, but also about the lagging transition to renewable energy.

This is garbage. `uv` is the best tool for the job in the Python ecosystem but it being developed and maintained by a startup (with no path to sustainable funding) this was basically inevitable.

People underestimate the bad position open source is in currently and how much of that space is annexed

@adamshostack @jbaggs The closest I know to it randomart from sha keys generation.
“A Resume.org survey of 1,000 hiring managers found that 59% say they emphasize AI’s role in layoffs because it “is viewed more favorably by stakeholders than saying layoffs or hiring freezes are driven by financial constraints.” Only 9% said AI had fully replaced any roles. This is not a technology story; it’s a management honesty story that happens to involve technology.”

@hanse_mina Unlike UK, Poland is a net recipient of EU funds. Actually the biggest one.
