How is this not bigger news in tech/security circles.
Jaguar Land Lover lost $250M (£200M) and counting thanks to a cyberattack that it still couldn’t mitigate. This is growing every week.
The cost of underinvesting in security is very real. 1+ month recovery is bonkers

One more reminder that Slack is a terrible choice for communities, and extorts even nonprofits. Even when it’s one teaching teens to code, for free.
Hack Club is moving to Mattermost. They really have no choice.
Just a poor taste how Slack demands $50K in a week, no real notice

@briancasel.com do you perceive “standards” and “conventions” as synonyms in a context engineering scope? Personally, I find conventions more inclusive and less judgemental. More about sharing than right/wrong. I think the jargon “conventions” over “standards” might impact adoption of agent os.

Surprise!!
MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

Simon has been a superb software engineer before LLMs (he created Django and many others.) He’s been using and experimenting with these tools, uses them better than most of us devs and remains a superb software engineer.

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

Just while wondering about digital modals and feature buttons, why do pedestrians have to press a button to prove their need? Shouldn’t equitable street use mean drivers need to request to cross too?
I know that’s a silly question but the underlying privilege of car-centric design creates it. 1/2

@snarky.ca now that pylock is accepted, have you given thought to standardising the frontend implementation of Python build hooks? Current state has no universal implementation. Each tool does it’s own thing which limits portability and perhaps reproducibility.
