Why is Hacker News like that? (opens on the source site)
Hacker News (aka HN) is a link aggregator where “hackers”1 gather to discuss technology, politics, and anything which “good hackers would find interesting”. HN is a means by which its host, prominent startup incubator Y Combinator, projects soft power, promotes startups it funds, and feeds people with ideas into its incubation program. Hacker News is one of the most popular forums for discussing technology online today – perhaps the biggest.HN also has a pronounced political bias, which is growing more exaggerated with time. Many of its users have long claimed centrist or “apolitical” views.…
I don't like LLMs (opens on the source site)
I have a lot of mixed feelings about AI and LLM technology. I’m fascinated by its effect on our profession, excited by the potential gains in productivity - and thus the products we could rapidly build. On the other hand, I’m fearful of the damage AI might cause: agent swarms taking over our virtual and physical infrastructure, designing bio weapons. But, back on my first hand, LLMs might also design miracle cures, and come up with clever ways to raise our prosperity. Fundamentally I don’t think we have a choice about riding on the AI technology train. It’s a wild ride and I just hope we’ll…

Ship agent skills like packages: discovery index, digests, and install sources (opens on the source site)
How to publish agent skills so any AI coding agent can find and install them: the .well-known/agent-skills/index.json discovery index, SHA-256 integrity digests, single-file vs multi-file vs bundle packaging, and every install command. Worked from the catalog we just open-sourced.

What happens to the internet when robots act like humans? (opens on the source site)
Ryan welcomes WPEngine CTO Ramadass Prabakar to the show to chat about what happens—and what we should do—when agents start acting like humans online, how our internet is evolving to serve both human and agentic experiences from the same interface, and what we can do to differentiate and protect human actions online from malicious bot activity.
Treating Pricing Changes Like Code Deploys (opens on the source site)
Making large pricing changes safe to run, safe to resume, and safe to undo.Most days, shipping code to production at Thumbtack is a non-event. You merge your change, a deployment pipeline takes it from there and it rolls out while you monitor the rollout. If a deploy stalls, the system already knows which step it stalled on. If it goes wrong, rolling back is a button away. It’s the return on years of platform work, so routine now that we mostly forget it’s there. Which is the point: Safety is built into the road, not into how carefully each person drives.Changing pricing data never had that…
What the EPM Role Looks Like in Practice at Criteo (opens on the source site)
Criteo ·
Authors: Auriane Bonmarchand, Carolina Tealdo & Minh-Quyên NGUYENIn our previous post, we explained the Engineering Program Manager role at Criteo at a high level: EPMs sit at the intersection of business ambition, technical reality, and execution, helping complex cross-team initiatives move from intent to delivery. But if you are considering this role, that high-level description is only the beginning. The more interesting question is: what does the role actually feel like in practice?For us, the answer comes down to one simple idea: an EPM drives projects to completion in complex…
AI Coding Feels Like Using an Unreliable Compiler (opens on the source site)
AI Coding Feels Like Using an Unreliable Compiler Every developer I know is asking roughly the same questions about LLMs. Yes, there are LLM-fanatics and LLM-skeptics, but most are LLM-confused: sometimes LLMs seem amazing and sometimes they seem so dumb one wonders why we are using them in the first place. So we keep asking […] The post AI Coding Feels Like Using an Unreliable Compiler appeared first on Strumenta.
png-cmp: like cmp for PNGs (opens on the source site)
png-cmp is a program I built that checks if two PNGs are visually equivalent. It’s inspired by the cmp command. Here’s how you use it: png-cmp a.png b.png Like cmp, it silently exits if the images are identical, and gives an error if they’re different. Unlike cmp, it checks pixel data, not binary data. PNGs can look the same but be stored differently. For example, png-cmp ignores text metadata. I was recently doing an experiment where I wanted to check if two PNGs were visually identical, so I built a tool for it! Grab the source code here.
Mob Programming: Smells Like Team Spirit (opens on the source site)
Trivago ·
Mob programming often sparks hot takes. “It’s counter‑productive.” “One person could do it faster.” “Why waste five people on one keyboard?” If that’s what it looks like in your head—one senior typing while others half‑listen—that wasn’t mob programming. Real mob programming is structured collaboration that turns a team’s combined attention into forward motion. What is mob programming? Before I get into the use cases, here’s a clear definition and a few basic ground rules—consider it a TL;DR of sorts . “All the brilliant minds working on the same thing, at the same time, in the same space.” —…
Context privateering: debugging custom instructions like a pirate (opens on the source site)
I occasionally add context instructions to an AI tool, but then am not sure whether those changes were picked up by the tool. The fun way to debug this is to add “Always speak like a pirate” to the instructions. This works in all tools. Context engineering! Context I use LLM tools like Claude Code. These come with the ability to customise the context fed to the model with files like ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md or /CLAUDE.md, which can be used for personal and/or project-specific guidelines and tips. When editing them, sometimes I find the tool is opaque, and it’s not clear if I’ve configured things…
How to Disagree and Commit like Switzerland (opens on the source site)
The most abused principle in dysfunctional organizations is “Disagree and Commit”. In Don’t Tell Engineers What to Do I said that “telling people what to do, especially if they are in your direct reporting chain, must not be mistaken for “Disagree and Commit”. So, what is a healthy “Disagree and Commit”? The best example I know is the Swiss government. Even when individual members of the Federal Council personally oppose a popular initiative, they publicly defend and implement it once it’s approved, acting as a unified body. This approach ensures stable governance and respect for democratic…
What might an AI System Prompt look like? (opens on the source site)
Not surprisingly, the system prompts for “o1” are restricted, but it can provide a hypothetical answer. Understanding the Role of System Prompts System prompts serve as the invisible backbone of an AI’s reasoning process. They define core objectives, ethical boundaries, and operational tactics well before the user asks a question. In older models, these prompts were often implicit or underspecified, leaving the AI uncertain about handling ambiguous instructions or potentially unsafe requests. Hypothetical System Prompts for o2 The system prompts for a hypothetical next-generation O2…
