Smalltalk ENVY?
Sam Hogan 🇺🇸@samhogan

What if a codebase was actually stored in Postgres and agents directly modified files by reading/writing to the DB? Code velocity has increased 3-5x. This will undoubtedly continue. PR review has already become a bottleneck for high output teams. Codebase checked-out on filesystem seems like a terrible primitive when you have 10-100-1000 agents writing code. Code is now high velocity data and should be modeled at such. Bare minimum, we need write-level atomicity and better coordination across agents, better synchronization primitives for subscribing to codebase state changes and real-time time file-level code lint/fmt/review. The current ~20 year old paradigm of git checkout/branch/push/pr/review/rebase ended Jan 2026. We need an entirely new foundational system for writing code if we’re really going to keep pace with scale laws.

Oh wow, someone is scraping researchr and sends "we'll organize your travel" spam. Ugh.

Overheard some non-technical people: "Oh, that's all AI, I wouldn't touch that." It was about some finance scam app...

Programming Language Implementation: In Theory, We Understand. In Practice, We Wish We Would. In about a month, on March 9th, I'll give my inaugural lecture. I'll probably complain about the complexity of modern programming language implementations... stefan-marr.de/2026/02/progra…

A new web page for my book! tomasp.net/cultures/ It has all the links you need to get the open access PDF, buy a hardcopy or an ebook, as well as some older talks. If you run a podcast, conference or a user group, I'm always hapy to join & talk about something from the book!

@smarr yep - at some point it's neither honest pedagogy nor honest business to take students' time and money for a course they're very likely to fail. the pre-Jacinda centre-right NZ govt threatened to defunding courses or universities failing too many people.

if you've a small cohort, sure, but then you're likely grading against the marker's perception of individual students as much as anything. with a big cohort - 90% of students passing likely means your test was too easy. 10% passing likely means your test was too hard.
