Here I am, worrying about Apache and PHP, in 2026... O_o

I've not really got into the whole MCP thing yet. I know it's a thing, I just haven't really paid proper attention to it. This feels like a thing I should file away for future reference.

I need to start using this during meetings.

I mean, I think we knew human brain cells could play DooM, right?

I'm seeing the rise of a "serve Markdown when asked" and "you need llms.txt" movement, driven by the idea that LLMs/AI is the new source of visits. While there might be some merit to this idea, what does seem to be interesting is that the facts of what's happening when you provide those things don't seem to match the claims.

I might have to buy this book.

Lots of good quotes in here relating to how negative the 360 review process is; and I find myself nodding along to a lot of it.

Possibly the best AI chat bot we have right now.

Simon Willison's take on the whole chardet issue.

HackerNews weighing in on the chardet legal/ethical issue.

Well this is a whole furball of legal and AI issues. I think the thing that gets me here is the apparent motives of the current maint'. It doesn't matter how you cut it with the legal side of things, what they've done, for me, is a real ethical issue.

LinkedIn post where someone posts a lesson from their own experience, but they don't seem to realise the real lesson they're posting and they don't seem to be learning from it.

Good post about the point of code reviews, and also about how they're probably more important than ever now.

Hard to ignore or argue with this one (not that I would want to argue with this one).

A pretty good review of lots of static site generators.

Reminds me of a program I used to mess with back in the late 90s (I think it was). I forget the name, might have been Terragen or similar. This has a similar vibe.

Scan of an article about The Last One from back in 1981.

Includes the article about The Last One.

Slides. For presentations. For developers. You write Markdown and pretty things happen. I like this.

Obsidian (now?) has a command line interface, that lets you script stuff outwth of the app. This could be super useful!

General documentation on getting the best out of GitHub Copilot, when it comes to directing it.

Today on "AI is going great"...

Interesting idea: point an agent at a codebase and get it to write you a linear walkthrough of it.

Some useful advice to consider when preparing (and giving) a presentation.

Gonna have to keep this to hand...

It's a bit silly, but it's also kinda fun.

Well this is unfortunate. As someone on the outside, archive.* has often seemed like a useful service; it's sad to see that the person(s) behind it might not be quite the Internet hero some make out.

Death Stranding and Death Stranding 2 look amazing. I don't think any other game has made my PS5 look as good as these two do. There seems to be a reason for it...

A paper that asks the question: does AGENTS.md make any difference?
