With all the AI drops today, it's more important than ever: Make sure your context and chat threads are local files that are owned by you, not whatever platform you happen to use today. Avoid the lock in, and use whichever harnesses, models, and platforms you want without the switching cost each time.

Wow OpenAI shipped a lot of stuff today.

What a fun question to think about:

Haskell being hard to learn doesn’t matter anymore. The only thing standing in the way of it becoming the most popular general purpose language is the community itself and the tooling it prioritizes in the next year.

In the meantime, agents will write a lot of rust apps that are harder to maintain, buggier, and perform about the same as if it had been built in Haskell.

I honestly can't believe this. @awscloud shut off Scarf's Bedrock access yesterday morning, which has caused an active outage for all of our customer-facing AI products. No notice. No explanation. No resolution guidance. Not even a response from their support team for 27 hours. When I finally get on the phone with someone just now, they had no information other than "we're escalating it, and we're sorry about this". I truly hate this. We've been customers for years and paid them a few million dollars in that time. They do not care. @awscloud I will continue to be as loud about this as possible until you resolve this, completely unacceptable.

Telling people what they don’t want to hear is difficult work, but doing it well is a valuable skill.

Latest addition to my home AI cluster is OpenCode so I can use opus 5.5 it’s really nice so far. Still all managed within OpenOrg (rename is coming soon)

It’s a bit sad to see developers have such a hard time accepting the reality that their careers are being disrupted, that the primary reaction is to shoot the messenger.
"Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?" — Galatians 4:16 Reddit is coping with reality about as well as you'd expect.

The Haskell Foundation is happy to announce that the Haskell Ecosystem Workshop and Haskell Implementors’ Workshop, will be coming back in 2027. These events will serve as a prelude to #ZuriHac 2027 haskell.foundation/news/2026…

Theres too much hype around formal verification of AI generated code. It would be better to focus on getting more AI adoption for languages that are safer to write in the first place.

It’s good to see some movement from Haskell world in this direction but there’s much more to do. Haskell *should* be literally the best fit for most programming tasks.

Microsoft word ecosystem is so bad that you have to download a specific program just to remove the license you have installed on your machine? wtf support.microsoft.com/en-us/…

Fascinating, I'm starting to get way better results calling Codex from OpenOrg than I do from prompting in Codex directly. I honestly have no idea why it makes no sense

I guess it has to be that OpenOrg is being more pushy about making sure the model fetches the appropriate context from the org2 corpus but it's still surprising.
