Hiring and the market for lemons
Dan Luu tests Joel Spolsky's claim that great developers never hit the job market against Akerlof's market-for-lemons model, and finds most hiring complaints trace back to a few fixable causes.
Beyond Functional Programming with Elixir and Erlang
José Valim argues that functional programming was never the goal of the Erlang VM, only the means to fault-tolerant, concurrent, maintainable distributed systems.

Akrasia
Wikipedia's overview of akrasia, acting against one's own better judgment, from Socrates' denial that it's even possible through Aristotle's rebuttal to contemporary accounts.
AirPods as a Platform
Julian Lehr argues AirPods aren't a platform yet because they expose no APIs developers can build on, and that opening Siri would make Siri the platform, not AirPods.
AIMA passa a exigir declaração de moradia "sob compromisso de honra" de imigrantes
A AIMA passou a exigir, sem aviso prévio, declaração de moradia com firmas reconhecidas em cartório assinada por inquilino e proprietário. Sublocações informais ficam praticamente inviabilizadas.
AI's permanent underclass problem
Nigel Bowen works through Jasmine Sun's viral NYT piece on Silicon Valley bracing for a 'permanent underclass': AI companies talk redistribution but show little sign of lobbying for it.
AI-assisted development needs automated tests
Simon Willison argues that comprehensive test coverage is what makes LLM-assisted coding trustworthy: tests let you prove convoluted AI-written code actually works.
AI Tooling for Software Engineers in 2026
Pragmatic Engineer's 2026 survey of 900+ engineers: Claude Code overtook GitHub Copilot and Cursor in eight months, and the more senior the respondent, the more they love it.
AI Needs Game Designers - David Kaye's Essays
David Kaye argues that running dozens of Claude Code agents in parallel is the same skill RTS players trained for years: attention allocation, not speed, and game designers already solved the interface for it.
O fascismo nosso de cada dia… nas telas
Alysson Oliveira seleciona seis filmes que retratam o fascismo pela via do Estado ou pelos microfascismos do cotidiano, de Bertolucci a um capítulo pouco lembrado do nazismo no Paraná.

Elias Jabbour e Roland Boer analisam a governança política chinesa como chave para entender o crescimento do país, dando sequência à discussão sobre economia do projetamento iniciada em China: o socialismo do século XXI.
The AI pricing and monetization playbook
Bessemer's playbook on AI pricing: unlike SaaS, every AI query has a real compute cost, so the charge metric (tokens, workflows, or outcomes) becomes a strategic bet on what the product is worth.
Agentes de IA e o jogo do foguetinho
Frota conecta um estudo da Harvard Business Review sobre exaustão cerebral na supervisão de agentes de IA a uma previsão: orquestrar múltiplos agentes sem estrutura de supervisão gera uma espiral de desconfiança dentro das equipes.
Agent Jido: the Weather Agent example
A worked example shows how Jido, an Elixir agent framework, wires an LLM to a weather API tool through three layers: Actions, an AI Skill that renders prompts, and a signal-routed Agent process.
Fragments: February 13
Martin Fowler collects notes from a Thoughtworks retreat: senior developers staying relevant with LLMs, cognitive debt outpacing technical debt, and the drift toward supervisory programming.
The New Software Lifecycle
Addy Osmani pulls the load-bearing ideas from a Google whitepaper he co-wrote on AI and the SDLC: an agent is 10% model and 90% harness, and verification is what separates vibe coding from engineering.
O neoliberalismo ama a IA porque enxerga o mercado como um grande computador
A ideia de inteligência artificial nasce ligada a Turing, Wiener e von Neumann na Segunda Guerra. Hayek a herda ao imaginar o mercado como processador de informação, raiz do neoliberalismo e do fascínio atual pela IA generativa.
My LLM coding workflow going into 2026
Addy Osmani lays out the workflow he converged on after a year of AI-assisted coding: spec before code, small chunks, heavy context packing, and treating every AI commit as his own responsibility.

Em defesa da alfabetização musical universal
Stephan Hammel defende a alfabetização musical universal como projeto socialista, usando a campanha húngara de Zoltán Kodály no pós-guerra como modelo de política de Estado para musicalizar uma nação inteira.
A Primer on Large Language Models and their Limitations
Johnson and Hyland-Wood's LLM primer argues hallucination is the wrong word: LLMs produce Frankfurtian bullshit, indifferent to truth, alongside catastrophic forgetting, model collapse, and jailbreak risk.
