After 11 years, I'm leaving WordPress.
I paid a few bucks every month so I could focus on writing instead of dealing with hosting, setup, and maintenance.
Now my coding agent handles all of that for me.
The reason I chose WordPress no longer exists.

Introducing tsrs: a Rust port of the TypeScript compiler 🦀
We are not forking TypeScript!
◆ In close collaborating with the TypeScript team
◆ Up to 8x faster than TS 7.0 & ~70% less memory
◆ Runs in WASM, so it works in your browser & on Workers
◆ Soon part of the Oxc toolchain

We’ve lost an icon. Margaret Hamilton, a computer science pioneer best known for her work at MIT leading development of the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon, has died at 90. Read about her legacy via MIT News: news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-h…
ALT Margaret Hamilton is reclined inside a NASA spacecraft module, surrounded by control panels and switches.

Disagree
just as high level languages help us code better - there's less to think about, it will be the same for AI. Why reach for ASM when you can use Rust - there's so much more that can go wrong. By this logic AI will also forego testing because they have so much intelligence to just reason through it.

It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment! youtu.be/vDjW_dRyKXY?si=6Fsf…

Jev may have its (narrow) use cases but the hype you see around is the perfect representation of the fact the greatest part of the AI bubble don't know what is important and what is not. Jev is a minor thing happening on AI compared to all the rest, yet the hype exploded.

Today, we’re announcing Ternary Bonsai 2 27B.
Based on Qwen3.8 27B, Bonsai 2 27B is 9x smaller than its full-precision counterpart while retaining 98.2% of its aggregate benchmark performance.
Two months after the first Bonsai 27B release, the biggest change is quality. The footprint remains 5.9 GB, but the gap to full precision has narrowed materially, with particularly strong gains in agentic coding, multimodal reasoning, and long-horizon tool use.
Ternary Bonsai 2 27B is available today under Apache 2.0.

Anyone that works in AI is working the hardest they've ever worked in their lives. On the surface it's somewhat ironic (AI should give us back time!), but the reality is that it's the most fun, fascinating and empowering epoch in human history. The intelligence revolution.

The second startup with kickass engineers in two weeks who sent over an eng blog post about a cool thing they built that is... TERRIBLE
Because it is 95% or more AI
A punishment to read. Half the thing not defined when you put in the effort to parse the overcomplicated sentences, filled with filler adjectives, and AI mannerisms slapped on top.
So if someone is determined enough to spend 3-5x as much time reading it as a human-written text would take (thanks to the funky grammar AI likes to do with technical writing), you realize the damn thing is full of holes, and whowever wrote this is making things up.
Because the AI is making things up!! And the dev who was given the writing assignment probably chose the easy route; no one read beyond the first sentence; and then they shipped slop.
