Italy will list £11bn bridge to Sicily as defence spending. That’s smart. I’d also add cycle lanes, additional public transport and the energy conversion to renewables from fossile fuels to the list.

With vibe coding all the rage, we can’t appreciate enough how genAI is changing software development. We shouldn’t underestimate the non-deterministic behaviour of genAI.
That puts secure tooling front and centre - CICD, automated testing and security checks in the software delivery process.

Das BSW, nimmt kaum Leute auf. Es sind viel mehr aus der Linken ausgetreten, mit der Absicht dem BSW beizutreten, als von dieser aufgenommen. Dieter Dehm zum Beispiel. Denen weint keiner nach. Im Gegenteil, seit dem BSW Split sind 43.000 neue Mitglieder beigetreten.

Klaus Ernst ist nicht mehr bei der Linken. Die Trennung vom BSW Flügel war bitter nötig und überfällig. Vorsitz des Klimaaauschuss hat nun @lgbeutin.bsky.social, das quasi Gegenteil von Ernst.
