PCs didn't kill mainframes. E-commerce didn't kill retail. Streaming didn't kill Hollywood. @stevesi makes the case AI won't kill software either. …rdcoresoftware.learningbyshipping.com/p/238-death-of… #AI #Software

Panasonic TOUGHBOOK — certified on RHEL. Worked with their team on the RHEL 10 roadmap. Great Q&A with the TOUGHBOOK PM. redhat.com/en/resources/p… #RHEL

Hidden RHEL image mode value prop: the confidence to let AI agents loose, knowing you can always reboot to known-good. crunchtools.com/image-mode-gav…

Running RHEL 10 image mode since May 2025. The real adoption journey has three stages, and most builders never leave stage 2. crunchtools.com/image-mode-jou…

Meta spent $70M lobbying for OS-level age verification. The receipts are wild. reddit.com/r/linux/commen… #Linux

EFF banned AI-generated docs from their open source projects. Docs are literally what AI does best. Use Gemini Code Assist to review PRs instead. #OpenSource #AI

The new workday should be 3-4 hours. @steveyegge's "The AI Vampire" — AI automates easy work, leaves nothing but hard decisions. steve-yegge.medium.com/the-ai-vampire… #AI

Your AI agent fetches web content with zero sanitization. Attackers embed hidden instructions, your agent executes them. I built MCP-Airlock: three-layer prompt injection defense for MCP. Open source, AGPL. crunchtools.com/mcp-airlock-op… #AIAgents #Security

Zero CVEs is the symptom, not the cure. Trusted build pipelines are the real fix. #RedHat redhat.com/en/blog/zero-c…

Fedora's Sandbox proposal could make it the only distro with a real incubation path. Wrote about why, using Podman's story. crunchtools.com/fedora-sandbox…

3 ways something breaks in computers: fixes itself, stays broken, or you go to war. There's now a 4th: let Claude Code fight the gremlins. crunchtools.com/my-print-scree…

InfraGard turns 30. I joined 20+ yrs ago at NASA. Free FBI partnership — threat intel, local FBI contacts. Most in tech never heard of it. infragard-kms.fbi.gov/intake/ #InfraGard

The old guard says AI will keep kids from learning architecture. I think we're wrong. Breadth beats depth. crunchtools.com/how-will-they-… #AI #SoftwareDev

500+ tools. 25+ MCP servers. One terminal. I wired Claude Code into every system I use and wrote a guide so you can do the same. crunchtools.com/my-mcp-server-… #MCP #AI

Your blog has a new audience: AI agents. 80% of tokens wasted on HTML noise. md4AI serves clean markdown, free and open source. crunchtools.com/ai-friendly-fr…

First time I saw a telnet session, my mind was blown. Now the CLI is a terminal to the universe. educatedconfusion.com/command-line-t… #Linux

Polishing ideas until they're perfect before sharing isn't responsible. It's insecurity. Share early. crunchtools.com/stop-polishing… #ProductManagement

I publish to six platforms from my terminal now. Self-hosted Postiz, one Podman container, RHEL 10. crunchtools.com/self-hosting-p… #RHEL

Claude wrote the code. Gemini reviewed it. Henry Krupp merged it in 3 hours. Automated code review is how open source maintainers survive now. crunchtools.com/agent-wrote-co… #OpenSource

My database needed 26 schema migrations from RT 4.4.4 to 6.0.2. Went to bed and let Claude Code handle it. crunchtools.com/rt-upgrade-ai-…
