On Tuesday, September 8, 2026, UK air traffic control lost its core flight data link and stopped departures from British airfields for about four and a half hours. More than 2,000 flights were delayed, cancelled or diverted. The cause, according to the preliminary report by NATS , the UK's air traffic service, was a legacy software defect with an exposure window of about one millisecond. Programmers have a name for that kind of bug: a race condition. This is the postmortem, read the way a devel...

Hello, I'm Shrijith Venkatramana, and I'm building LiveReview — a blast-radius aware AI code review built for your business-critical systems. Star us to help devs discover the project, give it a try, and share your feedback to help improve the product. You already understand objects, trees, transforms, interpolation, pipelines, coordinate systems, and data structures. Then you open Blender. Suddenly there are meshes, vertices, normals, modifiers, F-curves, armatures, constraints, ...

Every API team has a postmortem that starts with "we didn't think that was a breaking change." A field that was always present becomes optional; an enum gains a value clients treat as exhaustive; a response code changes from 200 to 201; a query parameter that used to be ignored is now required. None of these show up in code review as dangerous, because code review shows the server diff, not the contract diff. The fix is boring and extremely effective: diff the OpenAPI document against the last r...

Retro game retrospective #6 — 1992, Novotrade / Sega, Sega Genesis In 1992, the Sega Genesis was a machine of speed and aggression: hedgehogs, gunslingers, streets full of rage. Then Sega shipped a game where your hero can't punch, kick, or shoot — he can only swim, breathe, and sing . Ecco the Dolphin is a game about being a dolphin, built with a dolphin's senses, and it's one of the strangest, most technically inventive titles of the 16-bit era. This is the story of how a Hungarian stud...

1. Nine o'clock Nine in the morning. A lecture hall, sixty students, one professor, a task on the board. Not quicksort. Not a linked list. Nothing that balances itself. Build a shop. Registration, catalog, basket, payment, and a back end that stays up when the shop is mentioned on television. Those who prefer may build a game instead, in three dimensions, with other people in it. You have until twelve. At twelve there are fifty-one shops and nine games. Most of them work. The sec...

pi pod runs sessions of the pi coding agent in isolated sandboxes ("pods") on a server you run, in composable environments. ---- Since moving my company towards AI-native work, I have been really frustrated by the state of "agentic engineering" environments. Products by the labs (claude code, codex) lock you into a single provider for your tokens. Agnostic solutions (factory, devin, arguably cursor) make you pay per-token costs. None of these products allow you to fully customize the harness, an...

Millions have downloaded Meta’s AI agent Muse. But getting it to do your bidding comes with privacy costs.

Why am I suddenly buying up every 3D Blu-ray I can find after 3D became one of the biggest tech flops of all time? The technology's finally ready for 3D movies to shine, more than 15 years since James Cameron's Avatar wowed me on the big screen and went on to become the highest-grossing film […]

David Robinson used to write the safety reports that accompanied every major model release at OpenAI. This week, he resigned from his position and is now speaking out in an editorial in The Atlantic. It's understandable if you're feeling a bit cynical about everyone suddenly coming out of the woodwork to warn about how dangerous […]

Kakul Srivastava is the CEO of Splice, the sample platform countless producers rely on for one-shots and melodic loops. Samples pulled from the service have found their way into massive hits like Lisa's "Money" and "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter. (The original samples are here and here, for the curious.) Before that, Kakul held executive roles […]
