The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in 1947, contain Old Testament manuscripts over 1,000 years older than previously known copies. When compared to later copies, the text was nearly identical. God preserved it through the centuries, just like He said He would (Isaiah 40:8).

Someone builds a project management tool with Claude Code over a weekend. Ships it. Tweets "just replaced Jira." The app works. One user, happy path, localhost. Then two people edit the same record simultaneously, and the data is silently corrupted. They don't know what an optimistic lock is. They never needed to before. The prototype is maybe 1% of what makes software actually work. The other 99% is what you find after real users show up: race conditions, failed transactions, sessions expiring at the wrong moment, a payment webhook that fires twice and charges someone double. AI didn't cover any of that. It built exactly what you asked for. And the confidence is the worst part. "Just need to adjust a few things before we go live." The few things you need to adjust are the product. That's like laying a foundation and telling people you basically built the house. Vibe coding works. For personal tools, throwaway scripts, and prototypes you'll never put in front of paying users, it's genuinely fast and good enough. I use it. But there's a hard ceiling, and it shows up the moment the stakes get real. Agentic engineering is a different discipline. You're not prompting for code. You're decomposing problems, designing system boundaries, writing specs precise enough that the agent doesn't go sideways. You review everything it builds, because it will make mistakes that only look wrong if you know what correct looks like. You guide it. You catch what it misses. If you don't know what a distributed transaction is, the agent won't save you. It'll generate something broken with complete confidence, and you won't know until production. The hard part of software was never writing the first 200 lines. It never was.

Bro Google is doing something wild. Starting September 2026 every Android developer has to give Google their government ID. Legal name. Home address. Phone number. And pay a fee. Even if they never use the Play Store. Even if they just put their app on their own website. So basically if you build any app for Android — Google wants to know exactly who you are. No exceptions. Brave, EFF, Tor Project and 40+ other organizations said no and signed an open letter against it. And think about who this really hurts. The people building privacy apps, VPNs, encrypted messaging, tools for journalists and activists. People who specifically chose to stay away from Google. Now Google wants their home address. Google is literally building a database of every person who writes Android software. Run by Google. Controlled by Google. Android was supposed to be the open system. The alternative to Apple locking everything down. Slowly it's starting to look the same. Is Android still actually open? 👇

@ManVersusSelf @JCRyle This. Demons acknowledge who Jesus is - that's not enough. Baptism is essential to being saved. It's part of how you accept the benefit of what Jesus did for all of us on the cross.

@JCRyle He was under the old covenant. The new covenant didn’t go into effect until after the crucifixion and death of Christ. After the resurrection, Jesus specifically commanded baptism (Matthew 28:19 and Mark 16:16).

I've never seen the right-click file explorer context menu actually be so slow that it shows "Loading..." 😬

@BattleBots Sweet!!!

It's a new dawn. It's a new day. And we're feeling good… hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/bat…

🤖 Android's always been about freedom. Now Google's pulling a power move The whole point of Android was that it wasn't like iOS — no walled garden, no gatekeeping. Build what you want, install what you want, from wherever you want. But that era's about to end. Google's rolling out a new developer verification policy that basically makes them the sole boss of the entire Android ecosystem. Soon, every single developer (even the ones distributing apps through their own site or third-party stores like F-Droid) has to jump through Google's hoops. We're talking $25, a government ID, and begging for "permission" just to exist on the platform. This hits close to home for us. You know why the full AdGuard for Android isn't on the Play Store? Because Google bans system-wide ad blockers there. We've always relied on Android's openness to get our software to you directly. Now Google's reaching way beyond its own store and trying to control the whole thing. We signed an open letter with F-Droid, EFF, the Free Software Foundation, and Vivaldi telling Google to reconsider. Security matters. That's what Play Protect is for. Forcing indie devs to dox themselves and pay up just to distribute privacy-focused software? That doesn't protect users. It kills competition and hands Google the keys to everything. Android's strength was always freedom. Let's not lose it. Full breakdown and the open letter on our blog: adguard.com/en/blog/google…

Intel Plans Return to Unified Core Design, No More Performance and Efficiency Core Split tpu.me/urhm

I see women using the F word so often now. It seems that the intent is to come across as strong and tough, but it’s just crass and unladylike.

We just made a $200,000,000 AI movie in just one day. Yes, this is 100% AI.

Yes

Ordered a Crucial P3 Plus 2TB for around $146 on @amazon the other day. Shipment got delayed, then cancelled as "out of stock". Now they want $280 for the same drive. Nice price gouging!

@IntCyberDigest The fact that this post has gotten so much attention should be surprising an astonishing but sadly, it's not. There are tons of ignorant and bad people across all skin colors. Attempting to put one "race" in a bucket just puts you in the list of things you think you're avoiding.

Someone built a website to avoid Black people. Besides name filters, the map includes: - Violent crime heat map - Popeyes locations - Waffle House locations peaceandquiet.io

MUST WATCH. This NAILS the difference between 90's kids who played video games and Gen Z kids. Thanks to @ShortN40 for the tip on this.
