The honest truth about leaders who want to replace their workers with AI
"The problem tends to show up when a CEO is handed an agentic tool like Claude Code, and has it create something, which will work just fine, and thinks “oh, wait, why do we need so many people, when I can just sit here and make things work?”
This is a bad CEO."

AI enthusiasts are in a race against time, AI skeptics are in a race against entropy
Both sides are grappling with a real existential threat, and both sides feel like they are screaming into the void. Here's how to close the gap and get everyone pulling in the same direction.
In my predictions for 2030 I wrote that tech writers would be using specialized LLMs, running locally on powerful hardware. I see hints of this move to “local first” among engineering pundits, but we’re not there yet, in part because of how much more powerful connected frontier models are. That doesn’t mean we can’t experiment, though. That’s precisely what I did last week, trying to fine tune an instruct model to write like a software technical writer from the 80s and 90s.
A deep dive into Claude Code for daily users. Covers the .claude directory, CLAUDE.md the way Boris writes it, CLAUDE.local.md, Skills with real examples, custom subagents, plugins, underused commands like /goal and /insights, MCPs, and the workflow patterns the Anthropic team actually uses.
Looks like this ended up on the HN front-page: HN Thread
Late last year I started writing a math blog and decided to use LLMs to polish/enhance my writin...
Introducing RemCTL: The Power-User Reminders CLI for macOS and AI Agents - MacStories
Today, I'm pleased to release my latest free and open source project: RemCTL, a power-user Reminders CLI that, unlike others, exposes all the latest Reminders features as of iOS and macOS 26. RemCTL supports reading and writing subtasks, tags, sections, rich links, image attachments, grocery lists, and even templates. It's available on GitHub here, and
Compassion does not end at the front gate – Message from the Editor | Pearls and Irritations
Like many I was revolted by the video of Itamar Ben-Gvir taunting and humiliating courageous international citizens determined to get supplies to Palestine. If you haven’t seen it, the video shows the Israeli Minister humiliating Gaza flotilla activists, who are shown kneeling in rows, heads bowed, hands cable-tied behind their backs.
Good report: Executive Summary: Let’s say you wanted to make sure that your AI is secure. Can you just maximize the security and privacy benchmark and call it a day? Nope, because benchmarks don’t actually work for measuring AI capabilities (even when they are NOT emergent systemic properties like security). So let’s take a step back: how do you measure security in the first place? Good question. Over the last 30 years, security engineering for software evolved from black box penetration testing, through whitebox code analysis and architectural risk analysis to de facto process-driven standards like the Building Security In Maturity Model (BSIMM). Software had a very deep impact on business operations, and it appears that AI is going to have an even deeper impact. Will a software security-like measurement move work for AI? Probably. In the meantime we can make real progress in AI security by cleaning up our WHAT piles and managing risk by identifying and applying good assurance processes. (Spoiler alert: no matter what we do, we still don’t get a security meter for AI, so we need to be extra vigilant about security.)...

Do Androids Dream of Second Brains? | Nicole van der Hoeven
We often describe our personal knowledge management systems as “second brains” — but can we really say they think for themselves? In this video, I make the case for instrumenting your vault with an observability stack and layering AI on top, not because it’ll turn your notes into a brain, but because it might get us closer than anything else has.
This is the video version of the talk I gave at PKM Summit 2026 in Utrecht earlier this year, with the live demos cleaner and the dashboards working without the conference wifi gods getting in the way.
