      We were just able to confirm that my 22month old son has celiac. Lot's of challenges in front or us, but honestly the diagnosis is such a relief as the last three months have been tough and now we have something to work with.

      Over engineered react patterns have poisoned how AI writes Svelte and other framework code. Like yo, it doesn't need to be that complicated.

      I still enjoy writing some creative code by hand (or touching up AI content), but damn it feels good to have AI deal with all the admin:

- creating worktrees
- stacked diffs 
- code reviewer
- ticket created & populated 
- resources linked to ticket
- pr reviewers / ticket subs
- status updates

      I think this might me the least relevant email I have ever read. It is so far away from something that I wanted to know that it loops around and becomes interesting solely for its transcendent levels of irrelevance.
      Dear diner, For security reasons and to prevent fraud, we're updating the way Yums (TheFork's loyalty points) can be redeemed. This change will apply to new reservations made on or after 21/04/2026. Reservations made before that date, even if the meal takes place after 21/04/2026, will not be impacted by this change.

      I've been using AI coding agents for over a year, and my backlog has never been longer. The work doesn't go away when you ship faster, it multiplies.

I was interviewed for this FT piece on why software jobs are actually growing despite AI automation, and the data supports it.

      In spite of all the talk of Claude Code and Codex meaning the end of humans writing code, software job adverts are actually going up, according to @jburnmurdoch.ft.com's crunching of millions of job ads for this week's The AI Shift www.ft.com/content/7325...
