I now have everything I need to get back home. Boarding pass. Small gifts for the family. Security check... oh wait. A plane! I don't got a plane!

Running iOS 18? Update now, as there's a HTML and JavaScript exploit published on GitHub that exfiltrates contacts, messages, call history, and iOS keychain data from the previous version of the locked-down OS that is so secure you're forbidden from running a browser that's not made by the same vendor. https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/23/someone-has-publicly-leaked-an-exploit-kit-that-can-hack-millions-of-iphones/

Remember, folks. All of this is crafted by my own fair hand and not an AI in sight. Spelling mistakes are extra.

The queue for the "Argo CD the right way" book signing was stacked, but I managed to get a signed copy. It's stacked with great advice.

I find XP/CD practitioners are largely unimpressed as they've already achieved the throughout (and also maintained high stability).

Compared to "code as fast as you can" folks, I can imagine XP/CD folks using this technology in a very different way, with very different goals, if at all.

On reflection, I can see why AI looks amazing to folks who:

- Didn't automate stuff before
- Didn't start by writing a test
- Didn't reflect on their deployment pipeline and remove waterfall steps
- Didn't merge to main every hour or two

But, oh my, there are other things you're still missing out on, like feedback loops, that are going to cause you harm.

The goal of life isn't to try and live the longest. There's something more meaningful for each of us to discover.

The goal of software isn't to try and write the most code or deliver the most features. There's something more meaningful for each of us to discover.
