Welp, a USB-C charging port on my UPS appears to be fried. Fortunately the USB-A is still functional.

Closest I've ever been to a full HDD.

Somehow missed Google Chrome's auto browse feature announcement back in January. Still US only for now. RIP some startups.

For better or worse, some processes take way too long to evolve. The quiet before the storm in the enterprise world.

Just had a great conversation with a talented colleague I've been seeing in the office since 2018.

Same manager. Same floor. First conversation.

Don't become an Engineering Manager Over drinks a few weeks ago, a friend told me he'd been offered a promotion, to an Engineering Manager role.

IC for life.

Even as an accidental team lead.

AI is changing the equation a bit though.

Looks like it's still not possible to change the primary Gmail address (at least in Slovakia).

How my Monday started

Security Onion still going strong in 2026.

Peak productivity setup.

End of an era. Samsung will close its TV factory in Slovakia.

Atlassian Halts Hiring As AI Pressure Mounts Atlassian, the Australian-born collaboration software group listed on the Nasdaq, has quietly put a stop to recruiting engineers and similar technical roles after a turbulent year in which its valuation has fallen sharply and investor confidence in traditional software-as-a-service models has weakened. The company, kno

Apparently, Atlassian halted hiring for engineering roles.

Things are looking good, Bob's planned availability date is March 24.

IBM taps AI to translate COBOL code to Java | TechCrunch IBM's new product offering, Code Assistant for IBM Z, leverages a generative AI model to translate COBOL code to Java.

People seem to have forgotten that IBM already had AI for translating COBOL to Java back in 2023.

Tried Codex in VS Code and couldn’t believe that the diff window is so tiny. People are quitting Codex just because of that alone.

No more bot followers on X, they've all moved to my message requests.

I felt this earthquake just minutes ago.

GitHub - truenas/truenas-mcp: Monitor and Manage your TrueNAS via LLM using an MCP plugin. Monitor and Manage your TrueNAS via LLM using an MCP plugin. - GitHub - truenas/truenas-mcp: Monitor and Manage your TrueNAS via LLM using an MCP plugin.

There's an MCP server for TrueNAS (still experimental). Pair that with OpenClaw and the homelab just got way more interesting.

MCP servers for docs are cute.
My agent reverse engineers source code in node_modules.

Reminder: Even GitHub Enterprise instances occasionally have weird issues. Some don’t even have Actions enabled.

I can feel that Year of the Horse energy already.

I'd bet most people underestimate how radically WebMCP will change web browsing.

AI is such a blessing. Without it the US would be "close to, or in, recession" according to Deutsche Bank. Dodged that one.

I've seen what's launching on 27.03.

Last time I used Heroku was 10 years ago. Fond memories.

This happened. By the way, I’m enjoying Medium every day as a member. Wondering how long my current reading habits will survive.

Europe's $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard A 130-million-user payment system backed by 16 major banks just launched to challenge Visa/mastercard

TIL the EU has tried to break its dependence on Visa/Mastercard three times before. Let’s see how the fourth attempt goes.

Yay, there are new releases of the Scrutiny app after nearly two years.

We mourn our craft I didn’t ask for this and neither did you. I didn’t ask for a robot to consume every blog post and piece of code I ever wrote and parrot it back so that some hack could make money off o…

This is so good.

Gave into the hype. Was playing with OpenClaw over the past two days. I run it in a Docker container as a TrueNAS app with limited access.
