Yes: "The company has cut roughly 30,000 corporate jobs since last October." But: "Amazon, he noted, is hiring 11,000 interns and new grads this year." // That's one way to cut pay and claw back RSUs. Yay capitalism. platformer.news/matt-garman-aw…

There's countless dependencies in other frameworks and libraries, plus the build pipeline and even production platform are part of the app. adtmag.com/articles/2026/…

🤖: "local models are viable for autocomplete and chat-style work, agentic coding is still messy and hit-or-miss, and nothing here is plug-and-play for developers unwilling to tinker. If you do tinker, a mid-size MoE model at 4-bit quantization (Qwen3.6 35B) is currently the sweet spot." martinfowler.com/articles/explo…

The bigger a company gets, you can either treat the customer as your customer, or you can treat your work as your customer. randsinrepose.com/archives/the-m…

"Worth sitting with" is the new em-dash.

"Are we going to see harness engineering teams? Yes: these are already emerging. It’s too early to say, but that feels wrong in the same way that DevOps teams were a misunderstanding of DevOps-the-movement. My belief is that while there is friction in having every team create their own harness, that friction is generative and creative. There’s value for your teams there." overwatering.org/blog/2026/07/n…

"Open source steward" gets used a lot. What does it actually mean for the millions of apps on Spring? It’s more than code—it’s trust, private vulnerability management, and expert-led patching. Tanzu CMO @kstroh breaks it down in 90 seconds. #Spring #OpenSource

Lots of AI use comments, some comments on the UK tech scene. "Today at NatWest, over 40% of all code is either AI-generated or AI-assisted." diginomica.com/best-job-bank-…

I predict the end of the GUI. A GUI end.

"high-value credential - a passport - was used in an ancillary low-value authentication system: ID verification for cannabis dispensaries. And it’s the low-value system that got hacked, putting the high-value credential at risk." // It's always best to delete whatever you no longer need. schneier.com/blog/archives/…

Use lower-tier, cheaper models to do more of the work. tomtunguz.com/ai-execution-r…

Enterprise AI needs a lot of custom fitting and one off integration, so you need a lot of post-sales engineering. On the one hand, this is lock-in in the making, but lock-in to your own, stack. You build a stack that is unique to you. On the other hand, it means you get exactly what you want. thenewstack.io/aws-forward-de…
