Building For The Future This afternoon, we sent the following email to our global team. One of our core values at Cloudflare is transparency, and we believe it The Cloudflare Blog · blog.cloudflare.com [1] Full salary for the rest of the year after being let go. As much as this sucks as much as the job market sucks. It’s good to see that these companies laying off huge numbers during good times are trying to take care of those they brought on.

Programming Still Sucks. — Writing Sorry Peter. — I'm at a birthday party, and while most people here also work in tech, there's always a Guy with a Real Job. You know, a physical job, building some or other thing people need. And... stvn.sh [1] Absolute banger of a post, this is the time we are living in. Explain “are you afraid AI is going to take your job” to a non tech blue collar worker. Broken over promises, greed, and projects mismanaged by leadership who has no idea what the day to day work actually does and how critical it is. I’m not quite in Sara’s position, but I feel something shielded by half of this working deep inside of a non tech part of a non tech company leading a very small rag tag team with get shit done attitude. But I feel it, I see colleagues hit by these blasts.b I get clipped with shrapnel from some of the largest blasts. But nothing as significant as I see many others hit with Note This post is a thought [2].

I just learned that forgejo has a push to create repo feature and it is a gamechanger.

Red Squares — the GitHub outage graph A satirical contribution graph: red squares track GitHub.com platform outages instead of green squares tracking commits. red-squares.cian.lol [1] yet another interesting visualization of github outages. These guys are getting raked over the coals. It really sucks to see. Not quite tears to my eyes mitchelh [2]. But it feels like a core part of opensource has been dying for a few years now and is now getting ripped to shreds. The central location for open source is becoming more fragmented and I don’t see a path to where it ever gets any better. Note This post is a thought [3].

Desktop Crash 2026 | Nic Payne PC Crash Desktop crashed days ago, apparently my primary drive has been going bad for a while and eventually it just died. live-booted to ubuntu server found re pype.dev [1] I’m taking this as a reminder to treat every machine like its about to catch fire, any machine with a user regularly using it already has the match lit. I need to go through and commit draft blog posts, dirty homelab [2] POC’s need to get out or get in, and not forever be in limbo. My efforts this year have been well intention ed to keep projects clean, on main, not dirty, but I think agents are making it worse before they make it better. I have some new ideas forming and old ideas for managing this have failed me. Note This post is a thought [3].

Artemis II Photo Timeline An interactive photo timeline of NASA artemistimeline.com [1] Hank Greed made a really cool site to explore the Artemis II mission with Claude Code. Now this is what agentic coding is for, such a cool app to scroll around on and visualize when the photos were taken. Listening to the video is sounded really hard to get all of the data to line up correctly, between devices and timezones it ws not straightforward even though all of the schedules and images were made public.

- Jaime’s title hooked me in here, what guitar riff from Linkin Park had the greatest riff of our generation. Theres something about Linkin Park unlike Killswitch Engage, Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, bands I would listen to at this time that I cant remember a single riff, I can think of Chesters vocals, or the unique scratching they did, but mostly the songs were a whole piece. What riff is he talking about. The very first note of “One Step Closer” plays and I’m immediately transported back to 2003 sitting in my garage watching HuevosIII [1] on repeat. I can still remember the timing that Wes Miller did on the edit. I can see the riders I looked up to for so long riding in formation. Turns out this riff is so recognizable it takes me exactly where I was when I listened to it hundreds of times. Note This post is a thought [2].

- Casey had an interesting point here. I think demitri came back with some sense of sanity that its just not how corporations look at employee cost, but I still thought it was a head scratcher. Roughly translated not quoted If the sellers of ai are telling you that your developers are going to be 10x productive, why are they only spending half their salary in tokens? Why not 9x?

- I hate how he called out terminal user interfaces as shit… then proved web interfaces to be superior. Damn him. I love working from my terminal, but having ai prove itself through html [1] reports including video, image, metrics, charts, and text is goated. Rethinking yourself has the bottleneck not the orchestrator feels real. Validating the work is hard, theres a shift right now and everyone is trying to figure it out. Lucas’s technique is a little bit of be lazy and tell it to prove itself to you, so as you juggle your 15 agents you have a nice report to read. Note This post is a thought [2].

- This is a really good guide, with quite a few good nuggets. I need to try deleting my AGENTS.md and rebuilding it from scratch more often. I liked how he talked about having agents prove their work and tell them up front how they will be judged. What I didn’t care for so much was the feeling that a lot of the rules go in markdown, thats not a rule, thats a suggestion. Rules should be deterministic. They should be tests and linters that ensure they are followed. Suggestions are good, but dont trust the agents to always follow them. And don’t trust that they wont change your rules, keep them honest. Note This post is a thought [1].

Write It First, Then Let AI Drive There's a thing that happens when you start using AI coding tools seriously. You assume the best workflow is obvious: let AI generate the first draft, then... Kenneth Reitz · kennethreitz.org [1] Interesting take by Kenneth Reitz. Not quite sure how I feel about it anymore. It kinda hurts, but I’m not sure if code aesthetics matter as much as the product anymore. I cared when I was the one editing, but at this point I’m not doing a lot of edits by hand. Do these aesthetics affect the final products that users use, Not sure. AI makes me sad. Note This post is a thought [2].
