"If it’s emerging buy a few, it’s a mature, no more than two." In my new blog post about tech debt, I paraphrased something my friend Joshua McKenty would say when encouraging folks to consolidate tech within stable categories. seroter.com/2024/08/27/4-w…

The fall fundraising season has officially kicked off. In my opinion, this is the best 10 weeks of the year for startups to raise capital. Investors are fresh from the summer and many are now behind on deployment pace. Founder friends, run at it hard and get the 💰💰💰

New blog post: Tagged Union Subsets with Comptime in Zig. I got great feedback on my last post on comptime and I've decided to make this a series highlighting Zig comptime use cases. In this post, I illustrate a much more complex example. mitchellh.com/writing/zig-co…

Of course that’s your contention. You just heard about DeepSeek two days ago. Just got done watching some 40-minute deep dive—Deirdre Bosa, probably. You’re going to be talking about how this complicates things for the hyperscalers and how NVIDIA stock traded down 15%.

TW Bullish The markets are not smarter on AI. The free hand is not yet efficient because the number of legitimate experts in the field is near-zero. The average person making AI calls on Wall Street had no idea what AI even was a year ago and feels compelled to justify big moves.

Humans are not the residual error in an automated system. If you can't figure out how to make humans your "secret sauce", what right does your company have to win in the agentic era? forbes.com/sites/alexande…

In retrospect, maybe we meant “Free Software” as in free speech and free beer, but *not* free love. #opensource #coldplay

NASA Must Regain Its Mojo nasawatch.com/space-science-… Keith's note: NASA's budget is going to be slashed one way or another. Despite all the talk about making NASA more focused - or efficient - or "greater", NASA science will suffer. Scores of missions will either be canceled,
