This might be the worst exposure warning ever.
"Danger! Somewhere, maybe, but we don't know what or where"

It feels more like scaremongering attempting to justify the service's existence (add-on service for something I actually use)

Today's typo:
Meant to write "self-service channels", actually wrote "serf-service channels".
Made me think of the "mechanical turk" people behind many of our AI services.
This is an interesting baseline for the ROI of AI tool usage.
And probably will not be the last one set for these tools.

Uber Caps Usage of AI Tools Like Claude Code to Manage Costs

I wrote the other day about Uber blowing its 2026 AI budget in four months, and how that wasn't particularly surprising given they would have set that budget in 2025, …

The entire industry is falling over itself to talk about AI 'agents', but nobody actually knows what the fuck an 'agent' is, or what any of these companies, execs or journalists actually mean when they say it. They just think they sound smart

It’s done!!! 🖥️🍀💜🎶📚🖋️ #G4M4k is a #DIY project: M4 MacMini in a G4 case with 4K screen, working Blueray player / DVD burner and a diy amp for the original (and sadly proprietary) Apple Pro speakers. I LOVE just everything about it. Will have to write the #BookOfHacks now. ;) #DesperateHousehackers #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor

I doubt this thing is a hit for Ferrari. Having hard time believing $500k Ferrari customers are aiming for a four door sedan. Especially given this quote:
"firsthand impressions of the car, described as feeling more like an SUV than a traditional sports car."

A joke I used to tell every coöp student and early-career person I interviewed:

“We only hire senior developers. The trick is, we hire them earlier in their careers.”

The same thing, without trying to be hip:

“Senior engineers are what you get when you hire a junior, give them interesting problems, surround them with people who know more than they do, and wait. That's it.”

AI didn't kill your junior pipeline. You did | Andrew Murphy

AI didn’t kill the junior pipeline; companies did, because someone saw Claude write a for loop and decided that meant they could stop training humans. The result is an industry cheerfully pulling the ladder up behind itself, hollowing out its seniors, and outsourcing its entire talent strategy to vendors that will eventually triple the price. If you don’t hire juniors now, don’t act surprised in five years when you’re surrounded by AI-generated code nobody understands and trying to buy senior engineers from a market everyone else forgot to replenish.

I've recently found few fun creatives in instagram making "series"; story arc with 2-3min clips of 4-10 episodes, typically acted by a single person playing roles of all characters.
Idea is well enough executed (think of amateur theatre) and I suspect the low barrier to entry helps people with their fun hobby projects.
But IG's UI for following these is horrible. Trying to find a 4 part series from 5 months ago in someone's feed takes often as long as a single episode.

Why the fuck are spreadsheet applications still row limited in year of 2026? Numbers caps at 1M rows, Excel at 1048576 (so about 1M too).
It's 400MB file.

Will be it large and slow to work with especially once you add functions and calculations, yes, but give me a progress bar and I'll happily go get another cup of coffee while waiting — just like we did 20+ years ago.
