The perfect movie review doesn’t….

The audio version of my podcast with Michael Nygard for GOTO Conferences Unscripted is out now.
We talked about building resilient systems, the real meaning of Conway's Law (everyone forgets the word "communication"), modernising 50 years of tech debt at Sabre, and why we celebrate firefighters over fire preventers.
Michael's insights on technical leadership and organizational design are invaluable.

I’ve spent a lot of time over the last 6 months looking into the ethics of GenAI; this piece, from The New Stack, is the result. It’s a long and fairly difficult read, but I think worthwhile.

Why Tech Professionals Must Lead the Charge on GenAI Safety

With generative AI comes an array of new potential dangers to coders, creatives, organizations and society. We're best equipped to alleviate the harm.

Steam:I, Robot

1980年代のアタリの名作アーケードゲーム『I, Robot』を、ジェフ・ミンターがユニークな解釈でよみがえらせた。ミンターは、色彩、形状、音を独特かつ革新的なセンスで使うことで知られている。そのミンターが刷新した『I, Robot』には、新たなチャレンジや工夫が含まれている。もちろん、お約束のラマもたくさん登場。

I know everyone is down on Doctor Who these days but having grown-up watching Tom Baker’s incarnation watching Ncuti Gatwa in the role with my teenagers has been joyous. Picnic in front of the television. Lovely, old-fashioned family viewing.

At the bottom of this blog commemorating Microsoft’s 50th anniversary Bill Gates links to a printout of the original source code for the BASIC interpreter, in well commented assembly language. It’s a fascinating read.

I do not want your Gemini,
I do not want any AI.
I do not want it in my Chrome,
I do not want it in my home.
Not in my mail,
Even on sale,
Not in my app,
None of this crap.
I do not want it here or there,
I do not want it anywhere!
