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.

Danny Radcliffe (not who you're thinking of), team manager on the frontend team at Rainbow Wing Solutions Ltd, returned from a week long conference and is excitedly moving the team to a new agile methodology they call Planned Features.

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.

Legendary hacker, Georgie "Sunshine" Rogers, says he is too old for his signature look of sunglasses and a yellow hoodie.

Intel today announced their first 200S Plus desktop processors, the Core Ultra 270K Plus and 250K Plus, complete with bold claims in their marketing materials. After some failed dumpster diving, we got our hands on a 270K by just asking for it (lesson learned). This is our very early review of the claims Intel is making about the chip.

Tom's Hardware is reporting Amazon conducted meetings on recent 'high blast radius' incidents blamed on A.I. assisted code changes. globalGlob(**/*) can now confirm the A.I. assistant Alexa has been blamed as the cause of those problems...

The software testing start-up Quality quality Quality (Qu-qu-Qu) has secured $32 billion in seed funding, valuing the company at $82 billion. They were reportedly able to raise the large sum of money by removing many implemented A.I. features in their platform.

There are many heated arguments software developers have amongst each other. *So. Many. Arguments.* Like feral cats, software developers will hiss, growl, or bare their teeth when in the midst of such an argument. One debate amongst them, developers not cats, is the difference between a UUID and a GUID. We spoke to some developers to understand the pros and cons of each so we could come to a final conclusion and save them from themselves.

A local developer has added ASCII art of a Tyrannosaurus Rex to their CLI tool. The work took 12 of the 18 allocated story points for the sprint. The other members of the team thought wasting so much time on ASCII art would be a waste of time. But after showing the result in the team demo, the consensus was that it, "Looks pretty sweet."

Following reports Microsoft has blocked the term 'Microslop' from its Discord server, another team at Microsoft has decided to own up to it by trademarking the term. Like when you were a teenager and somehow got the nickname 'Mr. Peepee Pants'...
