JUST IN: 🇬🇭🇨🇳 Ghana launches cedi-to-yuan payment system for imports from China, reducing reliance the US dollar.
• Stanbic Bank Ghana is piloting the cedi-to-yuan payment system, with Ghana Commercial Bank developing a similar service.
• Payments are processed through China's Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS), enabling direct yuan payments from cedi accounts.
• This system reduces the need for US correspondent banks, cutting costs and processing times for China-related transactions.

I replaced Adobe audition for a podcast recording flow with something I built myself. I replaced Retool with a custom system. The problem is that vibe coding is awesome, vibe maintaining is horrible, and vibe maintaining someone else’s slop is a nightmare.

In the face of generative AI coding agents, the role of human-led architecture becomes even more important in the crafting of software-intensive systems.
All architecture is design, but not all design is architecture. Architecture represents the set of significant design decisions that shape the form and function of a system, where significant as measured by cost of change.
As such, remember that coding agents are reasonably good at transforming prompts into code, but they are not particularly good at making decisions that balance the static and dynamic forces on a system in order to yield a reasonably optimal solution: this is where human judgment, human understanding, human knowledge, and human experience shine.

People seem shocked that the author of Clean Code doesn't read code anymore. But that should not be surprising.
Why did I write Clean Code? What is the goal of keeping code clean? To get it out of the way of the real job -- thinking.

Someone rewrote Kafka in Rust and embedded it in Postgres using pgrx 🤯
Kafgres is a Rust-based Kafka broker that runs within Postgres. Kafka clients connect to Postgres on port 9092 and literally can't tell the difference. 🧵
