"Almost every software development organization has at least one developer who takes tactical programming to the extreme: a tactical tornado. The tactical tornado is a prolific programmer who pumps out code far faster than others but works in a totally tactical fashion. [...] In some organizations, management treats tactical tornadoes as heroes. "However, tactical tornadoes leave behind a wake of destruction. They are rarely considered heroes by the engineers who must work with their code in the future. Typically, other engineers must clean up the messes left behind by the tactical tornado, which makes it appear that those engineers (who are the real heroes) are making slower progress." @JohnOusterhout, A Philosophy Of Software Design, 2018 Sound familiar?

Very hard to narrow down, but I tried to stick to the "shaped who I am" motif than picking faves. This really took me back! Lots of backstory here: some helped forge relationships, some brought me closer to tech, some got me through Internet outages and loneliness...

This morning’s chat with Claude hasn’t exactly filled me with confidence.

📣 Open call to agent builders: Let's read agent skills from `.agents/skills`, so people don't have to manage separate folders per agent. Today we pulled the trigger for Codex to read `.agents/skills`. Goal is to deprecate `.codex/skills`. Pls like/tag/RT for momentum.

PSA: You do NOT need to buy a Mac Mini to run Clawdbot 🦞 That dusty laptop in your closet? Works. Your gaming PC you feel guilty about? Works. A $5/mo VPS? Works. A Raspberry Pi held together with hope? Probably works. The M4 Mac Mini is gorgeous but Clawdbot runs on basically anything with Node. Stop giving Apple your money (unless you want to, I'm not your mom). 👉 docs.clawd.bot/help/faq#do-i…

Making devs finally write docs by calling them “skills” is a great arb

my take on the code review tools that are coming out: they’re solving real problems, but not the biggest problem: i need a way to review code effectively before it ever gets to github
