Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

When I introduce mutation testing to teams on the Code Craft training workshop, it's invariably one of those "How did this not occur to us before?" moments.
"Is our code broken and we don't know it?" Let's break it and see if any of your tests fail.

If testing running software often involves asking "What's it *supposed* to do?", you may be leaving it a bit late. Some of us call that "specification".

People reading TMZ articles out loud is like a whole genre on YouTube
Sometimes I glance at YouTube and there's a video about Doctor Who, Star Trek, etc., that's like "breaking news! a thing happened!"
And then instead of watching a 30 minute video I go and look for text-based sites that can tell me in three sentences what the thing that happened was.

A lot of employers will only invest in training their entry-level developers in code craft in the mistaken belief that their senior developers don't need it.

Today's been a good Tuesday.
Morning spent with a pair working on continuous inspection tooling using TreeSitter. We rigged up a hook that emails people whenever someone declares a switch statement.
My suggestion that it gets CC'd to the letter's page of The Sunday Times was cruelly rejected.

The Book of Jeffrey
I’d love for Trump to recall the exact book and verse in the Bible where this is mentioned. You know, since he’s just so familiar with its teachings.
President Trump spoke at the signing of his executive order about foster care on Thursday, sharing how the Bible instructs society to care for "vulnerable children and orphans"—and was quickly slammed for denying SNAP benefits to hungry kids just days before.
