My heart is so sad for the souls aboard Air India flight 171 in Ahmedabad heading to London Gatwick after takeoff today. First hull loss of a wide-body Dreamliner, so far 1 reported survived. Very tragic - and incredibly rare for a long-haul plane like this that is the pride and joy of any airline.

Just published a new blog post on transitioning from SQL Server to TSDBs like @influxdb.com. I noticed a few differences in approach when I got started with real-time data. Check out the full article here: www.influxdata.com/blog/relatio... #TSDB #SQL #InfluxDB

Curious about folks' workflows right now... What is your ideal toolset that you are using right now for AI? Claude Code, GithubCopilot, Windsurf, Cursor, etc? Any 3rd-party AI tooling? Excited about anything? Unimpressed?

As @mraible.bsky.social pointed out recently, what if the layoffs for the past couple of years were more about tax codes than AI? qz.com/tech-layoffs...

I had a dream about an adult sleepover with vibe coding, glow sticks and LAN party gaming. ...maybe it would be fun, actually.

Yes. This! Self-service + affordable or free tools for individuals absolutely leads to larger adoption.

Fear does not come from the capability of AI to displace jobs. The fear comes from societal leadership leaving their people behind and not giving them a safe place to land. It's not the tech that sucks. It's the people. Like it's always been.

100% agree LLMs are magic! Just like Uber/Lyft or Mapquest were magic. But I'm also old enough to remember at least 4 other technologies/processes that were going to replace software engineers. LLMs seem to be marketed like the next one by some. I think that is causing some of the complaints.

We don’t need to solve a brand new problem when it comes to authorizing AI agents. We have OAuth already. The core problem is that open standards aren’t as heavily adopted as they should be. Auth for AI is much less intimidating if you’re already using OAuth and OIDC.

"What we can't get away from is that human beings really want human beings. We want imperfection. Imperfection is the sign of being human. We have underrepresented the value of struggle." Simon Sinek's interview on Diary of a CEO is poignant for the time we are in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4tq...

Adam Barney made a huge impact on my life. We spent lots of quiet moments reflecting together, and he always had a hug for me. I'm gutted to have lost him so soon. We never know how much time we have, so make the most of every second. Rest in peace, dear friend. We will miss you tremendously.

Well deserved, Mr. Buffet. If I could be as sharp as you are at 94 and only just now retiring, I'd call that a huge win. www.businessinsider.com/warren-buffe...
