Howdy! I have a client that's hiring a data engineer (ideally with Snowflake experience, but they'll take anyone smart enough to figure it out) in Canberra.

I can arrange for the automated screens and the like to be skipped, and the interviews will not have any leetcode-style nonsense. I've placed someone else with them who is very happy, and they're an inclusive team (i.e, I've seen them hire a woman to a senior role)

I also don't understand if I'm using this hashtag right 🥲

"C'est peut-être le principal atout de cette crise de l'IA en maths : elle me pousse à mettre enfin en pratique ce que je me dis depuis longtemps qu'il faudrait faire : lire plus et écrire moins, avec une éthique de bon artisan modeste."

a rare and perhaps unnecessary note from the writer


I don’t use AI in my writing because that would pretty well defeat the point of my practice. I also don’t particularly care for AI tools related to rhyming, scansion, editing (what), automated commenting (why), or anything else. It’s my sincere hope that people will stop trying to sell me these things. It’s quite annoying.

That’s all, thanks for reading!

Community internet, offline internet are very well established concepts in developing countries and places with patchy connectivity. Selfhosting and homelabs are big. Degoogling has been going on forever. So I'm not against this Melbourneite starting their own RPI-based thing that seems to be based on all that, but this article is kind of a weird mash up of many different things, and somehow also digital sovereignty: abc.net.au/news/2026-10-12/rec…

I’ve used the phrase “execution is essentially free” to describe the rise of AI coding, but after thinking about it, I think a better phrase is “effort is no longer a moat.”

It’s now straightforward to copy an app’s functionality or port it simply by pointing Claude at its binary or UI.

"It’s now straightforward to copy an app’s functionality or port it simply by pointing Claude at its binary or UI."

This statement is false. Some of these projects are nearly a decade of human hours. Competent engineer time supervising an agent for straighforward binaries is compressed. 'seems' is doing a lot of lifting. However it does give is a clue of what might be possible in a few years except of course AI will have killed us all by then apparently too bad. Keep your stocks.😂
