London: temperatures have dropped.
For anyone sleeping rough, this can be fatal.

Just saying: It’s never a bad day to read or watch my 2024 talk “Seeing Like a Programmer”—which ranges from domain-driven design and type systems and testing to… legibility and high modernism and moral hazards in the practice of software development (yes, really). v5.chriskrycho.com/elsewhere/se...
I'm looking to hire someone to help me build KCL! It's a programming lang for 3D design that we're making at Zoo. You'd be working closely with me on the KCL interpreter, the CAD API it calls, and our mechanical engineers. This is a Rust-heavy role. DM me any questions. zoo.dev/jobs/4619187...
The crates.io team was notified of two malicious crates (with similar names as legitimate crates) which were actively searching file contents for Etherum private keys, Solana private keys, and arbitrary byte arrays for exfiltration.
See the blog post for details: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/24/c...
Also Good luck with students coming to USA
$100k H1B fees and you want all products to be made in USA. Good Luck with that.
H1B Employees may already be looking for move to other countries internally or externally. How would you fill all that positions?
Prompt engineering requires even more emphasis on one’s ability to read code. You can’t just replace SWE with AI but rather enhance SWE quality by embedding an AI.
If you can clearly design ideas. AI can help build your ideas.

Well, here we go. After well over two years, here's a new version of my programming languages book, PLAI (v3.2.5). As always, free of cost! Can't thank enough all the people named in the acknowledgments. Enjoy!

So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’.
I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY.
Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

I'll keep updating this thread as the last 10 talks hit camera-ready.
> I completely agree. It’s pointless to write about something you don’t know much about.
Hey, just so you know, if I believed this, the Rust book wouldn't exist
I think it beautifully covers various complex topics with deep insights and purely from exploration perspective. I also admire, how you share the personal insights that connects with me/audience really well.
Happy Birthday in advance.
Joy & Curiosity is among one of my favourite read.
BTW, here is code you can study for number 1 and 10 from the list of projects in the original post.

I have training videos to walk you through this code.
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
I have been there quite a few times. Once, I went to accupressure shop thinking it would help. I could move my neck at all after that 😁😂
Lesson learnt, overheard presses should be scaled properly and gradually
It's here, it's here! New Joy & Curiosity!
Starts with a hot take and, if I might say so, in the parlance of our times, doesn't really cool down, you know.

it's a new year and I spent my first workday writing a quick ★ terminal survey ★!
it should take about 5 minutes and I'd love for folks to fill it out, I'm writing a zine about the terminal and my goal is to understand who we're writing it for a little better s.surveyplanet.com/wkepwlsp

People are still talking about story points and estimation.
IN 2025! Can you believe it.
Well, here's an old discussion:: www.industriallogic.com/blog/story-p...
Maybe it will help.
Great talk from Justin Cormack - Object Storage Is All You Need.
It’s widespread at Grafana Labs - Mimir, Loki, Tempo and Pyroscope all follow the pattern.
