🇺🇸 🤝 🇸🇪 Today, the Kingdom of Sweden becomes the first member of the European Union to sign the Pax Silica Declaration. What is unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz right now is a lesson. Iran is deliberately weaponizing a single point of failure in the global economy to hold the world hostage through a narrow corridor of water. This lesson is not only about oil. It is about dependency. It is about what happens when the physical infrastructure of global civilization — the chokepoints, the corridors, the cables, the ports — becomes the battlefield. Sweden is not merely a diplomatic partner. Sweden is a 5G power. Ericsson — born in Stockholm, built over 150 years of relentless engineering — is one of the only companies on Earth capable of building trusted, sovereign-grade 5G infrastructure at scale. We are building the logistics architecture, the mineral supply chains, the refining capacity, the manufacturing redundancy, and the investment vehicles so that no adversary — ever — can weaponize a chokepoint and threaten our economies. state.gov/on-the-occasio…





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.







@LarsWesterberg7 @sonja_andersson Inte förvånande då Svea Hovrätt leds av president Mari Heidenborg. Heidenborg var tidigare den justitiekansler som på okänd grund gav en våldtäktsmän 840 000 kr för att han suttit för länge i häkte och fängelse p g a sin ungdom





I’d be willing to bet $1m that the line “Spotify developers haven’t written a single line of code since December” is a flat out lie. This is why I can’t stand AI hype, and why you must question everything you read about it.
