Is the current furore in mathematics the canary in the coalmine for experimental science and knowledge work? This post was originally published in Vanishing Gradients on September 11, 2026. It’s been updated to address the subsequent declaration by 25 Fields Medalists and the debate about AI, mathematical progress, and research incentives. Science without understanding? “For […]

I’ve been using a personal second brain for many years. I started with OneNote and pivoted to Obsidian due to the linking feature. Since then, I have built a full net of knowledge for my personal life, but not only that: I also manage my solo business with Obsidian, such as my CRM or everything knowledge-related to my company. But what if you want the same approach for a bigger company, enterprise scale with lots of information internally, but also available externally? How do you manage…
The contagion of fear Bryan Cantrill responds to the tweet by former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon confirming that many Anthropic researchers believe AI "could kill us all by the end of the decade". Bryan shares a story of his own youthful mistakes causing unjustified panic among less technical peers, and warns against doing the same: These ghoulish claims strike brazenly at the hearth, and given the obvious importance of AI, it is unsurprising that they have leapt into the mainstream, with…
My comment on What blog posts influenced your thinking the most? — Lobste.rs.An early Joel Spolsky one for me was The Law of Leaky Abstractions. I read that near the start of my career and it's encouraged me to always be looking for improved understanding of the layers under where I'm working, just in case one of those abstractions leaks. A more recent one, from 2018, is Migrations: the sole scalable fix to tech debt by Will Larson. I absolutely love his idea that migrations (e.g.…
A hands-on nanodegree for production agent engineering.
We need to talk. Supply chain attacks are going parabolic in both frequency and impact. There are so many hacks now that we gussy ‘em up with names like GemStuffer, SANDWORM_MODE, and TrapDoor just to keep track of the onslaught. (Remember Heartbleed? The O.G. (Original Gussy)) We’ve also got frontier models escaping their sandboxes to hack third parties, zero-click worms spreading through WeChat without any user interaction, AI-discovered zero days being used by criminal enterprises, and so…
The cost of writing code collapsed, and the cost of reviewing, fixing and operating it is following, and I'm assuming it gets there. What's left of making software is finding out what people actually want, defining it precisely, and making it pleasant to use. That cost is per piece of software and doesn't transfer, so as the amount of software goes to infinity, which it will because there's no ceiling on demand, that cost becomes the whole job. — Laurie Voss, We are all Product Engineers…
In 17 years of building enterprise data platforms, I’ve watched every organization eventually ask the same question: “Can I ask one question and get one answer across everything my company knows?” A finance analyst wants actual revenue from the warehouse, pipeline data from the CRM, commentary from planning documents, and market signals from external providers. […]
An agent working on a Symfony project can read every line of your source code and still not know what actually happened on the last request: which query was slow, or what the profiler already recorded five minutes ago, before anyone thought to ask. Source…
In Part 1, we discovered the grammar for data: a way to define a data project with its complex requirements and how we define it declaratively as a grammar in one sentence with nouns (sources), transformations (verbs), templates, and modifiers, essentially being able to define it once and run it anywhere with different execution engines. This Part 2 will demonstrate how this looks in a data engineering digest project where we process data from RSS feeds, a live Bluesky firehose, and GitHub…
Release: commit-rewriter 0.1 I built this little web app the other day to help edit the commit messages for the Datasette security releases. The initial commits were full of coding agent cruft and references to issue IDs from our private repository, so they weren't fit for publication. If you want to edit the commit messages for a repository you can run it like this: uvx commit-rewriter path/to/repo Omit the path if you are already in the directory for that repo. When you submit your edits the…
