not a hot take anymore, but for anyone still on the fence: Claude Code is 100% the best coding assistant I've used on a regular basis.
I've had 0 regrets since switching my subscription from chatgpt a few months ago.

Kagi is, by far, one of the best monthly subscriptions I pay for
It's a fantastic feeling to type in a search query and once again get useful, relevant, non-AI results.
Dumping Google’s enshittified search for Kagi
Enough is enough: I’ve jettisoned Google in favor of a search engine that doesn’t treat me like a product.

Five-ish years ago, @lizthegrey.com told me tech workers needed to organize because the tech giants would automate their jobs, the market would flood with talent and they would lose bargaining power. I thought it was unlikely. Here’s a story about me being wrong. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/t...

A data broker owned by the major airlines, including Delta, American, and United, collected travelers’ flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection, and in the contract told CBP not to reveal where the data came from.

One of the [many] downsides of the semantic drift of the "SRE" job title is that — when hiring — I get plenty of applications for senior-level SRE positions from people who have a) no programming experience, b) no clue what an SLO is, and c) no monitoring philosophy beyond basic CPU/Mem/IO usage

The new Apple TV+ show starring Alexander Skarsgård features a mix of special effects-laden action, deadpan humor and social commentary. It deserves a big audience.

Mise is the best thing to happen to my workflow in at least the past year, maybe more.
I need to write a whole blog post about it, but I've been using it for a while now and it's simultaneously a better experience than and a replacement for: ASDF, Make, and direnv.

Heads must roll. This is one of the dumbest security breaches in history, and it suggests a larger pattern of potentially criminal behavior that puts Americans at risk.
In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
