Almost no skill required to cook a steak
Cooking a steak requires almost no skill. Put it in a hot pan, wait a little, flip it, and eventually you’ll have something technically edible. But a genuinely good steak, medium-rare from edge to edge, browned properly, seasoned right, consistently delicious, is a different matter entirely. Software development with AI is starting to feel much […]
A shell exclamation mark is not for yelling. Be lazy
You and I are probably very different; my choice of editor is likely to make you cringe just thinking about it, and your favorite programming language is statistically — definitely — not mine. There is however one thing (and maybe that’s the only thing) we all have in common; we are a bunch of lazy […]

Four simple rules behind Japan’s most liveable cities
In Osaka, Lydon found himself changed by the way Japan operates with awareness and consideration for others. ”Whether it’s lining up for trains, speaking quietly in public, not littering, separating recycling or saying ’itadakimasu’ (”I humbly receive”) before a meal, many daily habits remind you that you’re part of something larger than yourself,” he said.

Why Do Fewer Renters Expect to Move?
Christopher Gresh, Andrew F. Haughwout, Eungik Lee, and Wilbert van der Klaauw Americans are moving less than they used to. Moving rates have declined steadily for decades, falling from close to 20 percent annually in the mid-1980s to below 10 percent by 2019. This decline has persisted through business cycles and has been evident across […]
Telephones Caught in Between
2026-08-02 During the heyday of AT&T, it was often said that the telephone system was the largest machine ever built. The ”hello machine” certainly was vast, but whether or not you consider it to be a single machine raises challenging questions of definition. The Internet, I think we can all agree, is not a single […]
Humans missed 1 in 3 threats approving AI agent commands across 40k game runs
Table of Contents A couple of months ago I published a small browser game: you play the human-in-the-loop for an AI coding agent, approving or denying its commands under time pressure. Some commands are routine (git status, npm test) and some other commands indicate your agent has been possessed and is sending your secrets to […]
