Hey friends
Hope you are well. Last week we were in Sedrun for a few days, Skiing and Snowboarding with the Family and Friends. We had some snow, but looks like we missed the real deal which started coming down exactly from the day we left. We had a fantastic time anyway and it was great to be on a board again.
This week I finally made some time again to collect a few things for this list, so here we go.
On the Industrialisation of Software + AI coding
Really liked these two posts about coding with AI, vibe-coding and what all of that means for software development, practically and in a broader economical sense.

On macOS Tahoe’s Icon Overload
Nikita Prokopov and Jim Nielsen both wrote about the (over-)usage of icons in macOS Tahoe’s menus. If you put an icon in every action, you will run out of meaningful metaphors quickly. And if an icon looses its meaning, it becomes just noise and can just as well be removed.

As someone with no formal education in computer science myself, I enjoyed this article by Kilian Valkhof about practical programming principles and how to apply them.

How to raise children
Raising children can be super hard. Mike Monteiro answered a reader’s question about this in his newsletter and this quote stuck with me:
Love can make up for a lack of a lot, but a lack of love is very hard to make up for.

Couldn’t have said it better.
