• mXsM13: Everyone tells me how productive it has made them. I see 5000 line PRs left and right. But what is really being produced? Do any of the big tech sites have anything new and great? Are your releases bigger or better than before? I am just not seeing the end result.
• Ysbsbrb (Google): No because I just work less
• mUEm22 (eBay): coding is only a small part of software engineering. And most people don’t like AI documentation slop.

• OrkWithNoTeef: It would take at least two singularities for AI to understand C++ variadic template metaprogramming compiler errors
• jferments: Code that people write using AI tools is not “impossible to validate”. You validate it exactly the same way you validate code written by humans who aren’t using AI tools.
• SgtChrome: Love Bjarne, but mentioning specific problems like that will look shortsighted when, two models down the line, AI will inevitably not make those mistakes anymore.
• AddingAUsername: As someone that (for some reason) likes C++, I can definitely say that using AI is much harder for it and much more micro-intensive. It’s much harder to vibecode etc. so I understand where he is coming from.

What happened

GitHub’s official engineering blog published From latency to instant: Modernizing GitHub Issues navigation performance, a production writeup about making GitHub Issues feel fast by changing the client/server navigation architecture rather than treating the problem as a narrow backend-latency optimization.

The core idea is that a developer tool’s perceived performance is dominated by the loop between intent and visible feedback. Opening an issue, jumping to a linked thread, returning to a list, and scanning the next item are not isolated page loads. They are part of a triage workflow. GitHub therefore measured the work around Highest Priority Content, or HPC, an internal metric aligned with Largest Contentful Paint that tracks when the main issue content, usually the title or body, is rendered. The team bucketed navigations into instant, fast, and slow using HPC thresholds, then optimized the distribution rather than focusing only on the worst tail.

A forecast for the sun’s temper

Solar flares are not just spectacular eruptions on a distant star. When they are aimed the wrong way, they can disturb the technological systems that modern life keeps in orbit and on the ground. A flare releases intense radiation from the sun’s surface, and it can be followed by a coronal mass ejection, a giant bubble of magnetized plasma. If that material reaches Earth, it can trigger geomagnetic storms that threaten satellites, communications, navigation systems, power grids and astronauts.

Clean power’s crisis dividend

The article argues that the new Gulf war has made clean energy look less like a climate preference and more like a security asset. The immediate temptation is to assume coal will be the main beneficiary of disrupted energy markets, especially in countries that have domestic coal but rely on imported liquefied natural gas. Coal is indeed getting a short-term lift. But The Economist’s sharper point is that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz strengthens the case for solar, wind and other renewables even more.

The productivity story is getting messier

Gergely Orosz’s latest survey analysis is interesting because it treats AI coding tools less like a single productivity lever and more like an organizational stress test. The piece draws on more than 900 responses from The Pragmatic Engineer subscribers and closes a series on how software engineers are actually using AI tools in 2026.

TIL in 2014, Ben Affleck received a lifetime ban from the blackjack tables at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas after surveillance footage showed him counting cards during a high-stakes game. Security informed him he was “too good” and classified him as an advantage player. (r/todayilearned)

• WelshBathBoy: This is why the house always wins, making perfectly sensible game play ‘against the rules’. Counting cards is just using a bit of deduction by keeping tabs of the cards played - hardly cheating.
• wrighteghe7: This is such a hilarious rule. What kind of fucking game is it where its “cheating” if you win at it and why people play it still?
• I_Never_Use_Slash_S: Guess he wasn’t acting in The Accountant.
• SorryAboutLater: How can you tell if someone is counting cards? Can you just kick anyone out for winning and accuse them of this.

A newborn star’s violent surroundings

The article uses a striking James Webb Space Telescope image to explain a brief, turbulent phase in star formation. The object at the center of the story is HH 49/50, a Herbig-Haro object in the Chamaeleon I Cloud complex about 625 light-years from Earth. Its nickname, the “cosmic tornado,” comes from the way hot gas and dust appear twisted into a long, curling structure.
