A master class on system thinking by Russ Ackoff
A system is greater than the sum of its parts. Trying to optimise each part in isolation will optimise the whole system; it might even break the system value.

Feels good when I stumble on code examples from other modern languages and I see a lot of similarities with Innmind (innmind.org) 😌

🚚 The `.io` domain names have become really expensive over the past couple of years, so I’ve decided to move the #PHP Valinor documentation from valinor.cuyz.io to valinor-php.dev
From a discussion in RISF based on the old IBM adage, an updated version for the modern era:
Maintenant que j'ai toute votre attention, je cherche ma prochaine mission, principalement sur de l'accessibilité numérique mais je ne suis pas contre prendre une mission de développement ou de conseil.

buddy, my challenge isn't generating more content, it's figuring out how to produce a lot less.
Personally, I find the usage of AI in a corporate setting regularly enables the worst behaviors to be amplified and rewarded.
A lot of people care about output vs quality or correctness. And at scale, producing incorrect things is disastrous network effects.
The part of "everyone becomes a manager" in AI that I didn't really think about until now was the mental fatigue of context switching and keeping many tasks going at once, which of course is one of the hardest parts of being a manager and now you all get to enjoy it too
I've learned "make impossible states impossible" through my functional programming journey.
It's now paying dividends at work.
No need to track down states changes to make sure there's implicit bugs. The static analysis do it for us 😌

Relatable.
The average developer salary is my new GenAI signal. If it's really about developers leveraging AI and unlocking new value, then I expect salaries to increase.
If GenAI is about increasing profit margins, then I expect the average developer salary, and headcount, to decrease over time.
How many enterprise companies have meaningfully reduced, or eliminated, their software engineering backlogs. Are we at the point where GenAI is paying off in production?
Are salaries increasing to match this new level of productivity?
I'm adding an "extensive CI" to my projects lately to generate 1000 scenarii per _proof_ when publishing a new release to make sure everything is fine.
I didn't expect that for innmind/filesystem it would yield ~280k tests and ~22 million assertions total 😅

À demain ! 👋

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.
Rendez-vous mercredi 4 février chez Vivlio pour le meetup du mois avec l'@lyon.afup.org : au menu, “Postman, focus sur les Flows” et "Simplifiez-vous la vie, codez en français”, réseautage et apéro. Merci Vivlio pour l'accueil !
A bit of a dense read but quite enlightening.
From the origin of the transistor, to the economic dynamics, to political and geopolitical strategies.
I can’t recommend it enough to anyone in the IT field.
Et merci l' @afup.org pour le cadeau speaker 🙏 je l’aurais jamais lu en temps normal
Many shops are so caught up in the so-called "productivity improvements" associated with LLMs spewing out vast quantities of code that they pay no attention to the longer-term (not even much longer) impact of the extra complexity.

Que vous aimeriez coder en français, pensiez que le ciel va nous tomber sur la tête ou même que c'est une hérésie d'y penser.
Venez au meetup de l'AFUP la semaine prochaine où je ferai un retour de 6 ans à coder en français.

Short links in foot notes associated with a number and a reference table at the end of the book to map numbers to actual links.
Another option, but I don’t know if it’s feasible, is to print qr codes.
