Exactly
it's shocking that software engineering has transitioned to 100% AI written in such a short time.
it's more shocking that somehow we, the SWEs, are all just continuing on as if nothing happened. It writes C++ better than I ever could, but the problem of making sure it works didn't magically disappear. we are just shipping enormously more volume at higher quality.

BREAKING: Trump may have accidentally chosen the wrong Dana White for his White House Press Secretary offer.
There is a woman named "Dana White" who is the former Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, more commonly known as the Pentagon's chief spokesperson, from April 2017 to the end of 2018.
She briefed the press from the Pentagon podium, and served as the principal media adviser and communications lead for the Secretary of Defense. She also was a Fox News publicist and worked at the conservative Heritage Foundation. She even started her career as a press secretary for the House Republican Conference.
Someone at the White House likely recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC CEO Dana White, then went ahead and announced it on Truth Social thinking it's his UFC friend, and nobody around him was willing to correct him.
Furthermore, Trump is actively searching for a new press secretary after Karoline Leavitt left and Katie Zacharia lasted five days, so names are being pitched to him right now.
Per CNN, UFC's Dana White has declined the offer, and one aide now claims Trump was "joking."

This OpenSSH auth bypass vulnerability is crazy!
Under the right conditions, attackers can bypass SSH authentication for any account that meets the requirements.
Prerequisites:
→ musl libc (e.g. Alpine Linux, Openwrt)
→ OpenSSH without PAM
→ SSH password authentication enabled
→ Target account has * in /etc/shadow → Another account has a valid password hash
As an example, right now, official Alpine Linux cloud images on AWS and Azure have a default account that can run commands as root without a password. Those cloud images are vulnerable to this attack.

Security release pre-alert:
We will release new versions of Node.js 22, 24, and 26 release lines on or shortly, after 2026-11-11 in order to address security vulnerabilities.
The highest severity issue fixed in this release is HIGH.

Yesterday, for the first time in 10 months, I had to write code by hand to simplify something AI had built. The code worked, but it was overengineered for a small problem. I replaced 100 lines that Codex and Fable had added with just three, and everything was back on track.
AI helps me ship faster, but I wonder how much unnecessary complexity I’m adding along the way.

So... do distros plan on fixing CVE-2026-98432 or are we supposed to die of anxiety?

Ten million people have watched a comedian accidentally destroy the entire TED talk industry.
He filmed the talk once at TEDxNewYork in 2014 and openly admitted he had nothing to say.
Speaking coaches charge $5,000 to teach the exact tricks he used in 6 minutes to say nothing at all.
His name is Will Stephen. He is a comedian from Late Night with Seth Meyers who was invited to give a real TED talk and used it to prove the format is a costume anyone can wear.
Every TED speaker opens with a question, tells a personal story, cites a scientist, and shows a chart. Stephen did all four in six minutes with zero content.
His entire formula fits on a napkin.
Gesture with both hands. Ask the audience a question anyone can answer. Tell a mildly embarrassing story so they say aww. Point to a stranger on a slide and call them important. Flash a chart of random numbers. Wear glasses with no lenses. The audience will think you are brilliant.
That last trick alone has probably cost the public speaking coaching industry a hundred million dollars in sessions clients should have skipped.
"If you watched me on YouTube with the sound off, you would think I was a genius."
That is Will Stephen on the TED stage, three minutes into the talk he was paid to give. He wasn't lying.
Executives pay $15,000 for a keynote coach and still open with a joke the room never laughs at. Founders rehearse their pitch for weeks and still sound like Stephen at minute four, saying "wagga wah, gabba gabba" with authority.
The talk is free on YouTube. The method is written across every TED speaker's playbook for ten years.
Stephen still writes for Seth Meyers. Almost none of the ten million viewers have stopped nodding at empty slides since.
The formula is free. The willingness to actually say something before your next keynote, pitch, or townhall is the entire edge.
