I keep forgetting to post here. Almost never scroll. As much as I support its lefty peaceful vibes, I’m not saying it’s bad I didn’t replace that other site. (Or did I with Duolingo?)

Writing code was never the bottleneck! The AI hype train isn’t slowing down, but are we still focusing on the wrong parts of the software development life cycle?

A really important piece for me featuring a lot of insights into the state of AI in the SDLC.

USAID cuts could lead to 14 million deaths over the next five years, researchers say An analysis published Monday in the medical journal The Lancet projects that cuts to the agency will lead to more deaths from diseases like AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.

USAID prevented nearly 5 million deaths from TB in the last twenty years, according to analysis published in the Lancet. If these cuts remain, they estimate 14 million preventable deaths over the next five years: www.nbcnews.com/heal...

“Work is one of the last remaining places where we are motivated to learn from people we don’t agree with and find common pursuit with people we are ideologically opposed to. I think that’s meaningful. I think it’s worth doing.”

Lots of noise around “AI productivity.”

But speed without trust? That’s not productivity. It’s risk.

Great piece by @jkriggins.bsky.social for @thenewstack.io on what matters: ROI, usability, trust.

Proud to be included! (Hint: it’s not just about faster code.)

Do You Need a CAIO? The Rise of the Chief AI Officer in 2025 As companies increasingly look to strategically deploy AI across their organizations, do they need one role to rule it all?

AI isn't just changing code... it's restructuring org charts! @jkriggins.bsky.social dives into the rise of the Chief AI Officer (CAIO) role, revealing why 48% of FTSE 100 companies now have one. Learn how CAIOs balance innovation, risk, and cross-organizational strategy.

Evaluating the impact of two decades of USAID interventions and projecting the effects of defunding on mortality up to 2030: a retrospective impact evaluation and forecasting analysis USAID funding has significantly contributed to the reduction in adult and child mortality across low-income and middle-income countries over the past two decades. Our estimates show that, unless the a...

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030.

Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.
