A bit quieter this week. The podcast about the golden ages of computing is interesting, the GitHub issue exploit is also worth a read.
Leadership
The Complicators, The Drama Aggregators, and The Avoiders - I definitely recognise some of these.
Engineering
Socialize the Plan - Does reviewing plans really make sense? They are basically throwaway.
A GitHub Issue Title Compromised 4,000 Developer Machines - oops.
FFmpeg at Meta: Media Processing at Scale - nice to see Meta moving stuff upstream.
GitHub - pablodelucca/pixel-agents: Pixel office. - visualise your agents (if you are on VS Code).
The third golden age of software engineering – thanks to AI, with Grady Booch [Podcast] - history lesson on computing.
Notes: The Universal Paperclip Clicker [Podcast] - I can relate. I am not happy programming any more, even if I produce more results.

What is OnRouteMap? - another tool to find amenities along your route.
XKCD Dependency - the well-known comic animated.
Nick Simson - a collection of personal sites.

All the cool kids are playing this wonderful geography game: Capitalle - I am so bad at this!
