> We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this.

Honestly, is anybody reading what's getting written anymore? If it gets taken seriously it would ship with an enable-AI button, not the other way round.

If you're after code quality, then do it by hand. If you simply want to get it working, then continue with an LLM.

This is 100% needed, I'm sorry to say. Apple's hardware game has never been stronger - but software-wise they seem to be wandering around aimlessly. MacOS26 feels like a huge step back, so I'm hoping some fresh people will be a good thing.

As a Slack user - this post terrifies me. It sounds like a laundry basket with a bunch of stuff taped into piles with label stickers on them.

I've started calling it EDD - Executive Driven Development.

Senior stakeholders get into a room, decide they need xyz for the project to really succeed, push this down to managers who in turn try perform miracles with what little development resource they have. Very often they also have an offshore team who is only concerned with prolonging the contract as much as possible, rather than delivering. 2 weeks later senior stakeholders get back into the room...

Have we wrapped all the way around to <table> layouts again?

A whole lot of claims made by a company that doesn't specialize in cyber attacks.

Not to denigrate the content of the article or Linear - because it's a fantastic tool - but easy talking about profitability when you're able to spend a year in private beta, focusing on product. This is like talking about creating your own wealth, but not mentioning you have a trust fund.

I wiped Win11 from my Ideapad and installed Ubuntu. I love Gnome & it's the closest it'll get to MacOS (am a Mac user mainly). Win11 was absolutely wild though - around every corner was some ad for Office365 or Copilot or some other shit product. You don't own Windows (anymore) - you borrow it.
