A DEVELOPER WALKED ON STAGE DRESSED AS A 1973 ENGINEER AND "PREDICTED" THE FUTURE OF PROGRAMMING. THE TWIST: EVERYTHING HE DESCRIBED WAS ALREADY INVENTED 40 YEARS EARLIER AND WE STILL REFUSE TO USE IT. 32 minutes from Bret Victor, doing the most quietly savage talk on our entire industry.... -> The idea that lands: we write code as step-by-step text instructions and call that "Just how programming is". He shows four better ways -- all discovered in the 60s and 70s, all abandoned. Manipulate the data directly instead of typing blind code. Tell the machine your goal instead of every tiny step. We saw all this, then walked away. Why? The moment you're sure you know what programming is, you stop seeing anything better. That certainty is the cage. And now AI is dragging us back to exactly what he begged for -- you describe the goal in plain words, the machine works out the how. The future he mourned is arriving anyway. You thought text files were just how code works. This is the talk that shows it was a choice, and maybe the wrong one. Watch this one. It'll ruin how you see your job ↓show more

Genius. We think we are always so smart, but we know that people in the past were not. So this a genius way to show that we are still not that smart. Excelent take!

He is not a programmer, he is a UX designer whom I respect as that. His idea revolutionized in the 90s to visual programming and wysiwyg. But matters mental model not what users see. So it’s failed dead end or not solved properly.

So fake. This is not history. Very sloppy use of some random facts with wishful thinking then shaming ‘future’ developers.

The real lesson is that programming did not have to become walls of text, we just normalized the interface that won

This was also expressed in the days of "data driven" programming and "object oriented" programming. It was incorporated in a language named Prolog and several others in the past.

"Tell the machine your goal instead of every tiny step." This is also the current paradigm shift in biology (agency all the way down—cf @drmichaellevin) and what it implies for medicine: human-whispering—tell the body your goal instead of molecular micro-managing.

yea the trap of early vonnuman arcitecture still in use today , lead to the single sequential thread of each core on multi core cpus , and the bit he missed , the bottelneck of memory bandwith over cpu access , the ditching of pipline proccessors used on some higher end mainframes in favor of simpler cpus a pipleine cpu for example one with say 8 stages , could do a log(cos(squre(a*b)/c))*sin(b*c)) as a single instruction , just data in and data out of the pipline , passing the intermediate values though the pipe without having to store or recall them individualy , ther just passed on to the next stage , saving quite a few memory read writes ( even at L1 chache ) , so rather than having say a 48core cpu , a single core with a programable 48 core recofigurable pipeline would have a significant performance advantage , but like he did say how to program it would be somthing that would not realy allow the use of legacy code or coding methods on half hybrid not fully fpga but partial confugurable pipline sub proccessors , passing data to the next after it did its little bit , on silicone where its timing is local to its core , as the distance accross the silicone adds a delay time , one that still affects the l1 cache read times , let alone actual system memory ,, theres a lot of room for improvment using primeraly ideas that where used in the 60's/70's that seemed to have been long forgoten in the name of refusal to learn and adopt new methods of programming , quite a valid talk

IN A 1997 KEYNOTE A DEVELOPER TOLD A ROOM FULL OF PROGRAMMERS THAT THE COMPUTER REVOLUTION HAD NOT ACTUALLY HAPPENED YET. THEN HE PLAYED A CLIP OF WINDOWS, ICONS AND LIVE EDITING RUNNING ON A MACHINE FROM 1973 AND THE ROOM WENT QUIET. 62 minutes from Alan Kay -- the man who invented the word "object-oriented" and helped build the first modern personal computer at Xerox PARC. -> The idea that lands: almost everything you call "computing" is just paper, digitized. Documents, mail, folders. We took the most powerful medium ever made and used it to imitate the office. The real machine -- the one that thinks with you, that you shape live instead of typing at -- was sketched in the 60s and 70s, then quietly abandoned. He calls modern software an Egyptian pyramid: millions of bricks stacked by brute force, no structure underneath. And now AI is quietly hauling us back toward what he wanted -- you describe intent, the machine builds the how. Not a revolution from nowhere. A return to a dream we walked away from. You thought this was the future. This is the talk that shows you it is a detour we have been on for 40 years. Save this. It reframes the whole industry ↓

IN 1986 MIT FILMED THE LECTURE WHERE CODE STOPPED BEING CODE AND BECAME DATA 43 minutes from Gerald Sussman, in the most legendary intro programming course ever recorded. -> The idea that lands: to a program, your code is just data it can read and rewrite. He builds a program that does real calculus -- not by crunching numbers, but by reading the math as a list and transforming it piece by piece. Then he shows the trick hiding under all of it: in this language, code and data are the same material. Forty years later that is exactly what an AI coding agent is -- a program that reads your code as data, rewrites it, and hands it back. Sussman drew the whole idea on a blackboard in 1986. Writing code was never the deepest skill -- understanding that code itself is data a program can manipulate is. This is where you learn it. Most people think AI writing code is brand new. The ones who watch this saw the blueprint 40 years ago. Bookmark & Watch it. This one's a legend ↓

Bend the machine to humans. She built the first compiler when the experts swore computers could only crunch numbers. She wanted you to write in plain words and let the machine handle the translation. Forty years later you barely write code at all -- you tell the model what you want in plain English and it writes it for you. The compiler was step one. The LLM is the same idea, finished.

Larry Ellison just told every software engineer on Earth their job description is dead. Not evolving. Dead. Ellison: “The code that Oracle is writing, Oracle isn’t writing. Our AI models are writing.” This is not a startup demo. This is one of the largest infrastructure monopolies on the planet telling you it already replaced the people who built it. For fifty years, building software meant translating human intent into machine instructions. Line by line. Bug by bug. Sprint by sprint. That entire layer is gone. Ellison: “We don’t write the procedure. We declare our intent.” That sentence just made the entire engineering labor market flinch. The procedure was the job. The procedure was the paycheck. The procedure was what made a developer valuable. And now the machine does it without being asked twice. Ellison: “We just tell the model what we want the program to do, and then the AI comes up with a step-by-step process to actually do it.” You are no longer paid to build. You are paid to think. And most organizations have no idea how to evaluate that. The companies still hiring armies of developers to grind through codebases are paying salaries the machine already made worthless. Not in years. In seconds. When a company worth hundreds of billions hands the keyboard to the machine and tells you the output is better, the debate is not winding down. The debate is over. The enterprise that wins this decade does not write the best code. It removes the human from the process entirely and runs on intent alone. The programmers who survive are the ones who realize the craft is no longer typing. It is architecture. It is judgment. It is knowing what to build and why. Everything else now belongs to the machine. And the machine does not negotiate severance.

A LINUX KERNEL DEVELOPER PROVED THE THING YOU PUSH CODE TO IS SECRETLY A DATABASE THAT CAN VERSION ALMOST ANYTHING AND THAT MOST DEVS HAVE ONLY EVER TOUCHED A TENTH OF IT 42 minutes from Josh Triplett -- a longtime Linux kernel and Debian developer -- showing that Git is a general-purpose, tamper-evident versioning engine that just happens to be famous for code. -> The moment it clicks, Git stops being "Where my code lives" and becomes what it really is underneath: a content-addressable store that can version almost anything -- your configs, your notes, your servers' state, entire datasets. People run whole wikis on it. They version their entire machine's configuration with it. They ship websites by pushing to it. They track data too big to email. None of it is a hack -- it's the same handful of objects you already use for code, pointed somewhere new. Treating Git as a code-only tool was never the ceiling -> it's a versioning engine for anything, and the people who see that automate what the rest of the team still does by hand. And as AI agents start spitting out not just code but configs, docs and data, the one system that can version and audit all of it at once is already sitting on your machine. You learned five commands to survive. This is the talk that shows you were standing on top of a database the whole time. It changes what you think the tool is even for. Bookmark & Watch it today ↓

Your pattern gets turned into a state machine, and that machine is what runs against every character of your text. That one idea explains everything you never understood. Why one regex returns instantly and a nearly identical one hangs your whole server. Why some patterns are safe and others are a denial-of-service waiting to happen. It was never random -- it's whether the machine underneath is built well or badly. Writing a regex was never the skill -> reading one is. And now that an AI agent hands you dense, clever patterns you'd never write yourself, the person who can see the machine underneath is the one who catches the one that takes down production at 3am. Everyone copies regex and prays. This is the talk that ends the praying. Save it. The next time a pattern "Just works," you'll actually know why ↓

Coinbase CEO Explains “Reverse Prompting” and the Rise of the AI CEO Brian Armstrong: “One of the big pushes we made in the last year was we got our own internal hosted AI model that was connected to all of our data sources, right?” “So it's like every Slack message, every Google doc, Salesforce data, Confluence, you know.” “So now the data is all aggregated and I've started to ask it really… it's not just like prompting it, ‘Hey, can you write this kind of memo for me,’ or something.” “I'm asking these AI agents now, ‘As CEO, what should I be aware of in the company that I might not be aware of?’ And it'll tell me, ‘Did you know that there's actually disagreement on this team about the strategy?’ And I was like, actually, I didn't know that.” “This is like reverse prompting. So instead of telling the AI agent what you want it to do, you ask it what you should be thinking more about.” @jason: “It's a mentor. It's a coach.” Brian: “Yeah. Like, what could make me a better CEO? And it's like, ‘Well, I looked at how you spent your time in the last quarter and here's how you said that you wanted to spend it, but you actually spent 32% of your time on this instead of 20%.’” “I've asked it other questions like, ‘What's the thing that I changed my mind on the most over the last year?’ Things like that.” “It'll prompt you with information you should be thinking about instead of the other way around.” Thanks to our partner for making this happen!: Our episode is sponsored by the New York Stock Exchange - a modern marketplace and exchange for building the future.

A DEVELOPER STOOD UP AT A CONFERENCE AND APOLOGIZED TO THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY FOR ONE LINE OF CODE HE WROTE IN 1965. THAT SINGLE DECISION HAS SINCE CAUSED CRASHES, BREACHES AND ROUGHLY A BILLION DOLLARS OF DAMAGE AND YOU HIT IT EVERY SINGLE DAY 61 minutes from Tony Hoare -- the man who invented quicksort, won the Turing Award, and passed away in early 2026, leaving this as one of his most honest talks. -> His confession: he added the null reference, letting any variable secretly mean "nothing", simply because it was easy to implement. That one shortcut became the null pointer, the undefined, the None -- the crash waiting inside almost every program ever written. He calls it his billion-dollar mistake, and he is not exaggerating. Whole classes of bugs and security holes trace straight back to it. And this is the deeper lesson under the AI rush: the easy shortcut you ship today becomes the landmine everyone steps on for the next 40 years. You thought null was just part of how code works. This is the talk where the man who made it tells you it never had to be. Bookmark & Watch this one. You'll never type null the same way ↓

Darko on Brandon Ingram’s defence improving over the season: “Everything started in the Summer League. When he saw our summer league team play and how they were aggressive, he was like, ‘whoa.’ He was impressed there and he took it very seriously; that he needs to step up on that side of the floor.” “What I can tell you about Brandon Ingram is that, he’s an absolute team guy, and he’s an absolute winner. All he wants to do is win. If that demands to step out on the defensive end, he’s not shying away from there.” “He’s doing an outstanding job for us defensively, and we want him to be 1% better for the next game.”

“Hell Isn’t a place”. If you think Heaven is a place you go when you die, you’ve missed the whole point of being alive! Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is within you! He didn’t say its in the clouds. He didn’t say it’s coming someday in the future if you behave. He said it’s in you, right now! Which means Heaven isn’t a destination, it’s a decision. We create Heaven or hell in real time by how we act, how we think, how we live, how we love ❤️! And one of the greatest traps of religion and cultures is that heaven is somewhere out there, the sky, in the future after we die. but it is within us. God gave us a canvas, what we paint on it is up to us! Do you wanna wait for Heaven? Or do you want to build it? He gave you the breath, He gave you the will, He gave you the Divine Spark to observe, assign meaning, and create! That’s what God does and He gave us the same power! “

Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code at Anthropic, just explained why he stopped prompting Claude entirely in this talk he breaks down exactly how the future is teams of agents, not better prompts: - the 14% you lose to CLAUDE.md before typing a word - the features that change how Claude thinks before you type a word - the features most Claude users don't know exist - why typing prompts one at a time is already the slow lane Boris Cherny: "Now I don’t prompt Claude anymore - I have loops that are running. My job is to write loops." if you've been using Claude for more than a month and never left the chat window, you have at least 23 untouched features. probably 25 instead of another show tonight, watch this make sure to bookmark it before it gets lost in your feed my breakdown of all 25 features is below

the engineer who built Claude Code just dropped a 28-minute video on how to write prompts that actually work I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what he shows in the first 10 minutes CLAUDE.md files, memory shortcuts, parallel sessions, prompting patterns all in one video and completely free after watching this, the next step is agents I wrote a full guide on how to build one yourself with Claude Code article below

Church, why are we celebrating or partaking in ANYTHING on October 31st? Ask yourself, how is anything you are doing on that day honoring God? We are in this world church, not of it. We are commanded to know our enemy and know what he is doing in this evil world. Unfortunately ALL of our “holidays” have pagan roots because satan is the god of this world and it is his desire- every single second of every single day- to drive you and your family away from Christ and away from the Word.
