Does your E-21 humidifier make an annoying clicking noise? Mine did, but I finally figured out that there’s an easy fix, so I made this video in case anyone else… PERSON AT DESK: Oh my god. Yes. *Yes.* [caption] I know there’s more important work in the world, but I feel like these people deserve, at minimum a statue.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreifdjde6wgflkeil7kf4kdh3zqk32k55rkljlwu6arzbw557ogbulu@jpeg)

A centuries-old kebab tells the story of the richness of Lucknow’s Awadhi food

One interesting outcome of AI agents being so fast at prototyping:
It can take longer to have a meeting about building a prototype than to build it!
So... why not just build it, then show it and talk about it?

Prototypes are the most powerfully tool I know of for increasing the productivity of conversations about what software should do and how it should work

We think Java would 100% be Ross Geller from Friends.
He’s reliable, if a bit verbose, and he’s been around forever. He may not be the flashiest in the room, but he's solid, knows his stuff, and has a lot of history.

Starting in February I'm going to start a (free) new live coding series where I build a handful of these apps with a recent college graduate that works with me.
I think it will be a great tutorial for people who want to learn aspects of engineering you don't get in school. #staytuned

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

AI might not be there but we all can agree that multiple tools built on top of GenAI has increased our productivity, at the very least for most of the Software professionals. One thing that comes hand-in-hand with that is expectation of more value produced with less.
