Silicon Valley’s ”Pronatalists” Killed WFH. The Strait of Hormuz Brought It Back
Remote work raises fertility among employed, partnered adults. Davis et al. (2026) estimate WFH accounts for ~291,000 U.S. births per year. Return-to-office is functionally anti-natalist policy beloved by “pronatalists”. A drop from 42% to 30% WFH among women implies ~100,000 fewer births per year. WFH delivers more fertility impact than the entire U.S. early childhood […]
VisiCalc Reconstructed
Spreadsheets rule the world for almost half of a century. I strongly believe that it’s one of the best UXs ever created. Being fairly minimal and easy to learn, it allows users to quickly manipulate data, describe logic, visualise results, or even create art and run GameBoy games. It all started in 1979 when Dan […]

Following the Money Trail Through Dark Networks Meta’s lobbying operation spans 45 states using […]

Grace Hopper’s Revenge
The world of software has lots of rules and laws. One of the most hilarious is Kernighan’s Law: Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. I’ve always understood Kernighan’s […]
Show HN: Pgit – A Git-like CLI backed by PostgreSQL
TL;DR: Built a Git-like CLI backed by PostgreSQL with automatic delta compression. Import any git repo, query its entire history with SQL. Benchmarked on 20 real repositories (273,703 commits): pgit outcompresses git gc –aggressive on 12 out of 20 repositories, while giving you full SQL access to every commit, file version, and change pattern. Then […]
