The "#AI" code generators are demonstrating very well that the idea of "building blocks" does not really apply to #software implementation; merely on a conceptual level, if at all.
Software is still not as simple as some MBA folks would like you to believe. What is sometimes called "technical debt" may as well be accepted to be natural

Ever since reading "Getting off US tech: a guide" by @… last year, I wanted to build a little website where you could check the #software you're using and get some shareable text, showing how much is from the US. Now it's finally done 👇🏼🥳

There's roughly two ways I've acquired skills in programming languages in the past: the "hard" way for writing code (e.g., "Learn Python the Hard Way"), and the "easy" way for learning to read a new programming language by skimming the language specs or leafing through a book on the topic (e.g., "The Supercollider Book").
I suppose there's a third way now for me: Reading up on software architecture design (e.g., stuff like "500 lines or less"), so that co-creation skills with large language models are improved?
For example, Yoav Rubin's article on "An Archaeology-Inspired Database" in 500 lines or less really made me think about Clojure in a new way.
Thoughts on this?

I think it might be fundamentally important to note that #scale is not what hyperscalers and longtermists say it is. Software is great at scale. Practitioners who work closely with software are pretty good at it too. Business plans and people who assume scale means “this thing I think I know, only bigger” are *terrible* at it.

#Software peeps: do you still do box diagrams to work out how your structures will sit in memory?
#Lisp

A section of a design document I am working on, comprising text surrounding a box diagram. The text is:

In the beginning was the Word

My intention is that memory will be considered as an array of 64 bit words.

Each word may be considered as

1. a cons cell: two instances of object32, each having one mark bit, three tag bits and 28 payload bits;

2. a single object64, having one mark bit, seven tag bits, and 56 payload bits.

Note that, for any word, the first four bits comprise the mark and …

This is so cool! Not bad, strong swiss showing thanks to proton, but android is definitely the elephant in the room, and of course, the backend and lack of eurostack needs to go in there somewhere.

Two days ago, I had eight (out of one hundred and forty) unit tests failing, and I wasn't happy with my code. Last night, I had forty failing, and I thought things were improving. This morning I have one hundred and twenty four failing, so I *know* I'm on the right path!

It's 2026 and #software releases are still a mess. 🫠
Point taken, everyone has different needs.
Versioning?
You have your manifests, tags, release notes; they all need to be in sync.
Changelog?
There is tooling to generate it, and there are conventional commits.
CI?
