It's interesting how "...or get left behind" never seems to be attached to a principle or practice in software development, only to technology.

e.g., Teams who do big, infrequent releases really *are* getting left behind. But I don't recall any tech CEOs standing up on stage warning us about that.

"Coding is no longer the bottleneck".

So what you're saying is that NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

Could it be related to this?

I could be wrong, but it sounds like @tailscale.com would be a perfect fit for your use case.

From the same dev: “it’s also that I cannot see management being concerned solving the information visibility that keeps slowing us down.

We’re rolling out AI coding tools for devs but no one thinks about the org silos that slow us down 10x more than any coding use case.”

Onlangs sprak ik weer een droeve ambtenaar die van alles zag verhuizen naar AI op Amerikaanse clouds. En daar kan je helemaal kapot aan gaan, want in je eentje hou je het niet tegen.

Many EU member states are arguing for forcing WhatsApp to inspect all our photos w/AI. If the AI is in any “doubt” if it might be child pornography, your photo, location & other details get reported to Europol and a local police force. This is a terrible plan: berthub.eu/articles/pos... #chatcontrol

Congratulations!
But it's in October, I guess?

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

Systems Distributed '25 A conference to teach systems programming and thinking, and how to apply these ideas. All the way across the stack. From systems languages and compilers, to databases and distributed systems.

Greetings from #sd25! It's a two-day single-track conference hosted by
@tigerbeetle.com. I'll be aiming to liveskeet as many of the talks as I can. Super excited to be here!

World's darkest and clearest skies at risk from industrial megaproject On December 24th, AES Andes, a subsidiary of the US power company AES Corporation, submitted a project for a massive industrial complex for environmental impact assessment. This complex threatens the pristine skies above ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert, the darkest and clearest of any astronomical observatory in the world [1]. The industrial megaproject is planned to be located just 5 to 11 kilometres from telescopes at Paranal, which would cause irreparable damage to astronomical observations, in particular due to light pollution emitted throughout the project’s operational life. Relocating the complex would save one of Earth's last truly pristine dark skies.

The skies above Paranal are at risk from a proposed industrial megaproject. 

This would be located in the vicinity of ESO's Observatory. If constructed, it would irreparably impact astronomical observations.

I guess I read that JEP incorrectly; even though the JEP states it's proposed to be targeted for JDK 23, it apparently didn't make the cut: openjdk.org/projects/jdk...

That's being worked on (and already available as a preview feature in Java 23): openjdk.org/jeps/468

I was very busy Christmas Day in 1968 in Mission Control doing trajectory work for the Trans Earth Injection maneuver. The whole 20 hour period when #Apollo8 was in lunar orbit was particularly exhausting.
