On this week's Oxide and Friends, @booch.com joined @bcantrill.bsky.social and me to talk about the past, present, and future of software engineering. From hand-made computers and the software crisis of the late '60s to LLMs (of course) we covered a lot... with--as always--many dated references!

On Monday, @sunshowers.io and @davidcrespo.bsky.social joined me and @bcantrill.bsky.social to talk about their use of LLMs for building software--not to make vibe-coded one-offs, but to build much *more* robust systems software.
