One thing I wish I could beat into the heads of all the CS majors that follow me is that the Silicon Valley old guard stayed up late coding on weekends not so they could get rich enough to never code again but to buy more time staying up late coding on weekends in their 50s
my weekend project to learn about bluetooth mesh networks, relays and store and forward models, message encryption models, and a few other things.

I'm trying to get some Perl forum software running on the VAX, and it amazes me that I can run a package manager to install dependencies on a 30-year-old machine!
Thanks, NetBSD :-)

I am currently away from the office and have limited access to email.

From an eng manager at a full remote company:
"We just fired an engineer after ~15 days on the job who lacked basics skills on the job but aced the interview - clearly, using cheat tools.
He admitted to how he did it: he used iAsk, ChatGPT and Interview Coder throughout"

"[AI agents] are threatening to break the blood-brain barrier between the application layer and the OS layer."
Signal President Meredith Whittaker (@mer__edith) warns of "real danger" in agentic AI hype.
To be "magic genie bots" (concert booking etc.), they need root access to all your data: browser, cards, messages.
Cloud-processed & unencrypted: "privacy & security guarantees" at profound risk.

DOGE is a bigger threat to US federal government information systems than China. If you find this statement controversial, I'm going to question your IT and cybersecurity credentials.
