Yikes
Airbus said that more than 6,500 A320 aircraft would need a software fix after a recent incident involving a JetBlue airliner revealed that “intense solar radiation” could corrupt data that helps maintain functioning flight controls.

The #AI Revolution in Coding: Why I’m Ignoring the Prophets of Doom
https://codingismycraft.blog/index.php/2026/01/23/the-ai-revolutio…

I’ve had this contingent of the language police show up in my replies a few times now over the word “cosplay,” and look…
OK, I get it, I get the instinct to say “Don’t drag me into this!” and I applaud the effort to push fascists out of communities, yes to all that…
…and also we need to recognize that what ICE is doing absolutely •is• cosplay. The word means “costume play.” It refers to assembling and wearing costumes that are not necessarily functional, but show affinity for a particular subculture by reproducing characters from that subculture’s popular narratives.
ICE are cosplaying Call of Duty. That is an accurate description of what’s happening. (Listen to “Gear.”)
I make software and I make music. I don’t think either one of those things •should• be about violence. I don’t •want• them to be about violence. But both are used in the service of violence, like it or not. I shout the violence out whenever it shows up. But would be ridiculous for me to point at what Palantir does and say “That’s not software!” Unfortunately, it •is• software. To deny that would be beyond self-defeating; it would be irresponsible.
ICE •is• doing cosplay, and we hate it. It’s an insult to the cosplay subculture. It is an insult to the whole of humanity. Fascism creeps into all of our spheres, into every beloved craft and community, and the response is never to pretend it’s not there. The response is to drive it out.

This looks nice! Sometimes we get really cool things posted when folks show up at Maker Forums to make their first post, and AxioCNC looks modern and has some potentially really helpful features. 🎉

Testing ECC NMI in a cubesat boot loader: intentional flash corruption for STM32 microcontrollers.

Don’t snipe me in space - intentional flash corruption for STM32 microcontrollers
Almost one and a half years ago I joined MOVE, the Munich Orbital Verification Experiment, a student club focusing on practical education in the area of satellites at the Technical University of Munich. MOVE has launched three CubeSats to date (First-MOVE in 2013, MOVE-II in 2018 and MOVE-IIb in 2019), and we are currently preparing two future missions. These missions require reliable software, and the ability to update in orbit.

In the age of "#AI" assisted programming and "vibe coding", I don't feel like calling myself a programmer anymore. In fact, I think that "an artist" is more appropriate.
All the code I write is mine entirely. It might be buggy, it might be inconsistent, but it reflects my personality. I've put my metaphorical soul into it. It's a work of art.
If people want to call themselves "software developers", and want their work described as a glorified copy-paste, so be it. I'm a software artist now.
EDIT: "craftsperson" is also a nice term, per the comments.
