26 August 2026 マリウス . The TEMU-fication of Software, Digital Goods & Services

"this doesn’t matter when you don’t think long term, but fast fashion instead. Also, none of this is to say that an experienced engineer cannot use these tools well, because they certainly can. The issue is what happens when the same tools are used by someone who does not know what good looks like in the first place, and there is nobody downstream of them who does either."

24 August 2026 Everything I own, owned - schlarp.com

The downside of the 'implementation is free, now build something' world we find ourselves in. Last paragraph is really interesting.

The best teams and companies I've ever worked with are the ones with real depth. Well worth the read (as always with deadSimpleTech)

10 August 2026 The "Disability Dongle": Why Silicon Valley Hates Me and you., Sightless Scribbles

The boring things are the most important, doing the basics well is unsexy and therefore gets no attention. I usually rant about this when talking about data, but this is far more vital and important.

5 August 2026 #223. Research into Child Psychology is Largely the Study of Effects of Captivity.

This is one of my personal interests. I found school to be possibly the most negative experience of my entire life, and am still trying to work through how such an experience at a formative age has impacted my perspectives throughout the rest of my life. As a father of a toddler who's yet to go to school, I want to understand how to minimise the harm that will inevitably be done to my daughter as she is forced into this system. I highly recommend Peter Gray's writing and leave this (longer than usual note) with a quotation: "It Is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society" - Krishnamurti

3 August 2026 Devtools must be open source - exe.dev blog

This reflects a lot of the same thoughts I've been having recently. Being able to customize software more easily is a hugely different future for products than we have today.

2 August 2026 Four Time Scales for Technology Development and Deployment – Rodney Brooks

Really like this. I’d also ask why we don’t look into our care about social impacts until we’re past the final stage.

Great story about what drives success and adoption, the idea or the market or the cycle?
