What the AI era owes you. No one is going to save your career… | by Dan Maccarone | Oct, 2026 | UX Collective

Thu, 15 Oct 2026 21:38:53 +0000

This is not the pep talk anyone wants. The pep talk is that it’ll be fine, new jobs are coming, somebody’s got it handled, but that’s a lie. The reality is, nobody is coming to retrain you, but that is not the end of the story.

Thorsten Ball - What I believe about the future of software development

Mon, 28 Sep 2026 05:57:31 +0000

This was originally posted on X and blew up. To plant my flag, to say that these are things I believed in September 2026, here it is on the blog, non-ephemeral. Some of these predictions are just observations, they’ve long been true at companies like Amp. Others will take some time to play out.

Technology Is Over - by James Taylor Foreman

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 02:29:29 +0000

Just like all the people who were worried about the nuclear bomb earlier in this age: the thing to do is to get on with living. Building a house, having a family, and being useful to people, and making things beautiful: making a garden, making a little hut where you can write your essays, cutting the grass and weed-eating. When all is said and done, twenty or fifty years from now, I have a strong feeling that most people will wish they had been doing that all along. That is what it practically means to believe that Technology Is Over.

Alex Karp Says There's 2 Ways to Know If You Have a Future - Business Insider

Sat, 25 Apr 2026 18:37:11 +0000

Palantir CEO Alex Karp says there are two groups of people who shouldn't be worried about AI advancements. "There are basically two ways to know you have a future," Karp said during a recent interview on TBPN. "One, you have some vocational training. Or two, you're neurodivergent."

500 applications, 0 callbacks

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 17:22:20 +0000

Once you accept that the front door is pointless, you get so much time back. Yeah, you still need a gig, we get it. But what if, instead of applying all your creativity and energy to the attempt to pass some invisible set of hurdles, or to writing exactly the right tone of follow up email when an interviewer ghosts you, what if instead of all that you just abandon the front door entirely and find another way? That other way, by the way, is human connection. OMG stop. Don't roll your eyes. You hate networking. It's so transactional and fake. It's all small talk and you hate small talk. Yes yes yes. We hate it, too. That's not what we mean. We mean that if the Applicant Tracking System Jello isn't where the hiring managers are any more, then you should start spending time elsewhere.

2026 has been the most pivotal year in my career… and it's only March

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 04:35:38 +0000

A small part of me is sad at what is lost. A bigger part is excited about the possibilities of the future. I’ve always had more ideas than time or energy to pursue them. With AI at my command, the problem changes shape. I can comfortably take on complexity from which I previously shied away, and I can take a shot at any idea sufficiently formed in my mind to prompt an AI — a whole skill of its own that I’m actively developing.

The diminished art of coding | Read the Tea Leaves

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 16:58:57 +0000

My advice to other coders, or at least the advice I’m taking myself, is that if you’re looking for art in coding: stop looking. If you’ve never taken an interest in poetry, or painting, or dance, or whatever, now would be a good time. In an era where the internet is increasingly full of bots pumping their bland bot ideas into everybody’s brains, seeking out distinctly human forms of expression has become vital.

Jeff Bezos makes brash statement about the future of popular hobby: 'It makes no sense'

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 21:51:41 +0000

As Tom's Guide reported, Bezos explained in a New York Times interview how the era of everyone having their own PC is coming to an end. "This is what computation is like today; everyone has their own data center," Bezos said. "That's not going to last. It makes no sense. You're going to buy compute off the grid."

マリウス . Hold on to Your Hardware

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:04:52 +0000

There is a darker, conspiratorial interpretation of today’s hardware trends that reads less like market economics and more like a rehearsal for a managed future. Businesses, having discovered that ownership is inefficient and obedience is profitable, are quietly steering society toward a world where no one owns compute at all, where hardware exists only as an abstraction rented back to the public through virtual servers, SaaS subscriptions, and metered experiences, and where digital sovereignty, that anyone with a PC tower under their desk once had, becomes an outdated, eccentric, and even suspicious concept.

The rise of AI denialism - Big Think

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 19:58:28 +0000

In other words, we are not watching a bubble expand with blustery vapors. We are watching a planet form from churning magma, and it will solidify into a new framework for society. Denial will only make us unprepared. This is not an AI bubble. This is real.

China's Clean Energy Push is Powering Flying Taxis, Food Delivery Drones and Bullet Trains - The New York Times

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 21:02:27 +0000

If all that sounds futuristic and perhaps bizarre, it also shows China’s ambition to dominate clean energy technologies of all kinds, not just solar panels or battery-powered cars, then sell them to the rest of the world. China has incurred huge debts to put trillions of dollars into efforts like these, along with the full force of its state-planned economy.

Durable Consumables - Travers Nisbet

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 18:22:21 +0000

The frontier keeps moving. Progress keeps accelerating. The rational response is shorter time horizons, faster replacement cycles, less investment in permanence. I understand the logic. I just wonder what we lose when fewer objects around us are built with the assumption that they'll still be here, still working, still ours, decades from now.

Black Mirror is not a Pinterest board. - by Dave Karpf

Okay, now I need to yell about two news items. Because it seems like tech companies are treating Black Mirror like a goddamn Pinterest board.
