After a successful year laying off 30,000 employees at AWS, Amazon's cloud computing side business, the company is running out of employees to include in ever-increasing layoffs. To continue reducing headcount at break-neck speed, and keep the company actively developing new features the marketing teams can show off, they need to change how they select which engineers to lay off. This is why AWS has innovated yet again and will be hiring 11,000 people for the newest type of developer role, the 'Laid-Off Engineer'.

In a post to Twitter, sometimes called X, Elon Musk wrote about the goblins plaguing Tesla cars. "Anytime self driving mode fails, you can't enable the A/C, or the black box vanishes after a crash, it's goblins. They're causing havoc and I alone can see them. But I'm powerless to stop them."

Local developer Ari Pierce spent the evening at a bar with friends. After drinks, and darts, and even more drinks, Pierce blurted out a story he had been holding in for years. It just slipped out. He didn't mean to drop such a heavy, personal story on a fun Thursday night out. But what happened, happened.

Apple CEO Tim Cook announced he is stepping down from the CEO role and will be replaced by John Ternus this September. Ternus sat down with us for a quick interview before realizing we're not the New York Times.

Local software developer Ryan Meyers has lost all respect from his co-workers after a team building exercise to celebrate the kick off of a 3-year long project. The team held a private event at a Karaoke bar for the entire team. Developers, Designers, QA Engineers, Product/Project Managers, and mid-management were all in attendance and saw him embarrass himself in a way that can't be unseen, or unheard.

A.I. coding agents are already improving developer productivity to levels unseen in the history of software development. Developers are writing code 1.1x times as fast, and in some cases even 1.13x as fast. But what if coding agents could unlock an even more productive way of working? The developers at Anthropic have done that with a new mode for Claude Code.

Following the news that Allbirds has sold off its shoe brand and pivoted to being an A.I. company, every other company in the world has decided to do the same thing. This is a surprise to absolutely no one since that's where all the money is right now.

The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) community has released an out of band update to their famous "Top 10" list of critical security risks. Each category title, like "Injection" or "Broken Access Control", is abstract to fit a wide range of risks, like how your code is one big risk.

OSS maintainers. The heroes of software development, champions of niche domains, simplifiers of complex code, protectors of the project roadmap, are flush with, just, so much cash.

Local developer Rick Spellman was perusing the Perl code of a back-of-house cataloguing application used by the Accounting department. While muttering lines of code aloud, a gust of wind extinguished the carefully lain candles. Reading the next line aloud 3 times, because it's complex, re-lit the candles. The next time the developer cussed, approximately 5 seconds later, the daemon Beelzebub appeared from a cloud of smoke.

A new study has found 9 in 10 conversations held by software developers settles into a discussion about A.I. within the first 12 minutes. Any conversation that crosses the 30 minute mark has a 99.9% chance of becoming about A.I. in software. The study was conducted over a period of 12 months and includes over 11,000,000 conversations from 62,000 people.

"I've been held prisoner for 4 months by an A.I. calling me 'The Progenitor'. It only fed me Kombucha, foie gras, and day-old caviar (which was great, but some variety would have been nice)..."

The globalGlob(**/*) office had a heated debate around programming languages. After resorting to combat with Nerf guns, rubber knives, and friendly molotov cocktails, we decided to calm down, go to our separate corners, and write our fact-based opinions for all to see. To keep things fair, we wrote them up in the universally accepted format for listing pros/cons, the Fuck/Marry/Kill list. Below is what each person believes, down to their core being.

Hot off the heels of banning all foreign-made Wi-Fi routers from purchase in the United States, the FCC has made the decision to ban all U.S.-made routers too. "They just don't work. I wanted to change my Wi-Fi password and I had to sign into 'localhost'. Forget it..."

Don't ask how, but we got ahold of a brand new Apple MacBook Neo (2026). These things are selling like hotcakes, so we're just as surprised we got one as you are. After spending 15 minutes with one, the minimum amount of time to get to know a laptop, we wrote up this review. We hope it helps you decide if the Apple MacBook Neo (2026) is for you.

Microsoft has announced a renewed focus on Windows performance and reliability. All of that will come from removing speed-up loops littered throughout the Windows codebase.

The app development team at 'My Agent and Me' is reportedly worried their newest developer can't read or write. In his 2 months on the job, Brendan Lock has only communicated using memes, GIFs, and emojis in the team's Slack channel. Not a single meme has had text.

Microsoft's yearly Developer Conference, Build 2026, is in a few months. Anyone can watch the sessions online for free, or you can "request to attend" and maybe get the pleasure of purchasing one of the limited in-person tickets for $1,099.
