"Gartner predicts that by next year, half of the companies that fired workers for AI are going to hire them back. Also, 9 months ago, Microsoft…proclaimed that 30% of their code was written by AI, and since then, we've seen some of the worst software issues at the company in its history."

The impact @krisnova.net had on the open source and cloud native communities is still going strong
Attending any conference in this space is a constant reminder

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?”

Open source project shutting down for vacation is brilliant. These are the kind of technologist who can make the internet good.
The Rust Programming Handbook by Francesco Ciulla
Received my new book today, more pages than I expected (709). Still think it's something special with real books. Now all I have to do is dig in, read and build some cool things.

I'm not a fan of story points; I don't use or recommend them.
That said, they can have some value inside the team when used as originally intended. The original XP team invented story points to obfuscate time estimates from management.

A thread 🧵 of _terrible_ design decisions for the internal APIs of the two Italian high speed train operators, Italo and Trenitalia.
Hardcoded passwords, terrible translations, spelling mistakes, xml in json (but utf8 encoded and transmitted as an array of numbers), it's all here. Enjoy!
I’ve been working toward this for years, and it finally happened.

Approval testing is often confused with Acceptance testing. Approval testing is a much narrower technique, described in some detail in this article by my husband Geoff: www.methodsandtools.com/archive/appr.... Acceptance testing is broadly any testing from the customer perspective.

Last week OpenCode was hit with a huge RCE / prompt injection CVE - here's a deep dive exploration of what happened, how it worked, and the impact.
Now more than ever, we need agent telemetry.

Blogged: Code Cleanliness
"My first encounter with cleanliness in code: […] Kernighan and Plauger’s 1978 book, The Elements of Programming Style (2nd edition). […] The idea of clean code has been around in one form or another for at least half a century."

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
I have a better idea. What if we just abolished the use of X in Europe? Again, just an idea. I am simply spitballing here.
I am really enjoying having some time between contracts at the moment... I just wrote an article about the test desiderata - this has been on my mind to write about for several years at this point! coding-is-like-cooking.info/2025/12/test...
No one is born a great programmer. We become great by building better habits 👇
Some people tell me they prefer to read articles than watch videos, so I'm trying out something new this time. My video just came out on the Modern Software Engineering Channel. I have also just published an accompanying blog post: coding-is-like-cooking.info/2025/12/what...
