Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me.
The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

Issue we keep coming into lately, seems like a good idea first and then increasingly becomes a nightmare as the project grows and your CI/CD matures
I used to be in camp "with Serverless, application code belongs in the same repo as infra code". I have now defected to camp "please, please separate your apps and infra" for any non-trivial app. It will make your IDE faster, your code cleaner, and your AI smarter.

Actually, quite enjoyed watching Enys Men. No, there's not a lot to it, it is slow. But I just enjoyed the experience of it with absolutely no expectations, more like spending a lazy afternoon watching the world through your window

Why do we keep building this crap? We don't have to. All it takes is a couple of engineers to say "nah this seems like a stupid idea" and this can all go away
This is such a hilarious failure of a product. Consumers both don't know why it exists and hate it at the same time.
This is a hilarious way to say “we haven’t figured out how to make AI do anything useful”

But the math department is not the business school, and the work done there---much of it more philosophical than an intro to Hegel course---does not deserve your scorn. do not let the construction of "STEM" as a (frankly tenuous) concept allow them to slice academics up into a house easily divided
