New blogpost from @wingo about Wastrel: "Wastrelly Wabbits" https://wingolog.org/archives/2026/03/31/wastrelly-wabbits

So you very likely haven't heard about Wastrel BUT YOU SHOULD because it's pretty cool! Wastrel takes WASM binaries and compiles them directly to C!

And here you'd think that was WASM 1 type binaries, the linear memory style things Rust and emscripten etc can spit out.

BUT NOT ONLY THAT, it can also compile things with WASM-GC! Because it can use @wingo's Whippet garbage collector and pull that in

WHICH MEANS since you can compile Hoot programs to WASM-GC we finally are approaching a path where you can compile a Guile Scheme program directly to a native binary, no intermediate Guile VM!

Wild right?

The Anthropic leak wouldn't be that big of a deal if they were already open source.

#Anthropic #Claude #NoAI #FOSS #OpenSource

Over the past year, our best minds were tasked with developing new Codeberg features that we planned to launch today... "inject ads to pull requests", "announce NEW ways to opt-out", "charge self-hosters"...!

We believe that an unidentified insider has been leaking all of them, but did not mention the following to the recipients—which we are, as this has gone too far: They were intended to be April Fool's jokes, not part of our business model.

Thank you.

Anthropic's Claude Code's full source code leaked. Claude is seen by many to be the best coding LLM on the market with Anthropic proudly stating that Claude Code itself is mostly written by the LLM.

Now this sounds good as long as nobody can see the code which is quite the trash fire. Detecting "code sentiment" via regular expressions, variable and functions names containing prompt parts trying to influence the bot, a completely intransparent mess of a control flow that makes actual maintenance and debugging functionally impossible and the prompts ... of the prompts. All the begging and pleading to the chatbot not to do this or not to do that or please to do this.

It is fascinating but it is as far away from actual engineering as drunkenly pissing your name in the snow. Dunno what you call the people prompting software at Anthropic but "engineer" is not it.

Now it is fun to look at the currently hyped product striped bare and showing its pathetic quality but that is the future of software if we let those companies continue to undermine every good practice software engineering has tried establishing.

The software we have to use will be bad, insecure, unmaintainable, expensive with nobody having the skills or resources to build something better. As I wrote a few months ago: LLM based software production is equivalent to saying that fast fashion should be the only way to produce clothing. A tragic degeneration of the quality of the artefacts we rely on build for maximum profit on the backs of people in countries from the global majority.

CircleCI's analysis of 28 million CI workflows confirms the same picture the DORA data shows. While feature branch activity's up significantly, the median impact on *main* (i.e. release) branch activity's net-negative 7%.

Only the top 5% of teams saw significant gains. The top 10% flatlined at 1%.

For the average team, AI slows them down overall.

Told ya!

I have just deleted a workspace with 237 git repositories from bitbucket.org. These have all been migrated to personal hosting. What a thrill! Quite some emotions!

gh.com is next :)

There is so much disinformation in the world right now.

And in recent years, all of it gets amplified by AI web scrapers that eat it up to spit it out at a later date, in an inappropriate context.

Be careful what data you add to the slop soup on April 1st.

The world is in dire need of more truths and knowledge these days, not the opposite.
