Black Mirror S8E1: In 2027, developers are allocated a daily Claude token allowance by the government. A junior dev burns through his entire month's supply trying to centre a div. His family starve. He is forced to write the code himself. He can't. Society collapses.

I just published Lead engineers in refinement: balancing technical leadership and facilitation medium.com/p/lead-enginee…

Got some fun finishing this Gandalf AI security challenge: gandalf.lakera.ai/gandalf-the-wh…

Approvals aren’t neutral 🤨 Review order, context, and shared responsibility quietly shape how deeply we look at code and change the weight behind that green button more than we think. ✅ A few thoughts here: Two approvals, no one responsible? scullwm.medium.com/two-approvals-…

The Staff Engineer Paradox: I missed coding so much that I started a side project. 20 minutes later, I realized I was just 'Staffing' an AI agent. I didn't write a single line of code. I wrote a Jira ticket disguised as a prompt. scullwm.medium.com/staffing-mysel… #Tech #vibecoding

Carl Sagan on books: "What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years."

This is the most mind-blowing book I've read this year. It's written by an ex-Stanford doctor and ex-food lobbyist who expose the medical, food, and pharmaceutical industry. 12 Shocking lessons from "Good Energy" by @CaseyMeansMD & @calleymeans:
