As orgs try out coding assistants, at least one CIO wants to see a coder with a philosophy degree. I code, therefore I am

Lucky for them, ChatGPT has them covered:
Me:
What is your philosophy on coding?
ChatGPT:
I believe coding is both an art and a science. It's about creativity, problem-solving, and logic all rolled into one. It's not just about writing lines of code; it's about crafting elegant solutions to complex problems.
Coding is a way to express ideas and bring them to life in the digital world. It's about building something meaningful, whether it's a simple script or a sophisticated application.
At its core, coding is about continuous learning and improvement. Technologies evolve, new languages emerge, and best practices change. So, it's essential to stay curious, stay adaptable, and always strive to deepen your understanding.
Ultimately, coding is a tool for empowerment. It empowers individuals to create, innovate, and make a positive impact on the world around them. Whether you're building software to solve a global challenge or just tinkering with a personal project, coding opens up a world of possibilities.

Google Search now has an option to search the "web," which is not the default anymore. They should try it. I hear it might be big one day.

So glad I switched away from Google for search so many years ago.

All vendor kernels are plagued with security vulnerabilities, according to a CIQ whitepaper. Will the Linux community ever accept upstream stable kernels? They're going to need more than a few more eyes

Somehow I just don't see the egos running the Linux community implementing this proposed changed to better secure the Linux kernel.

About half a million customers of the Australian fund UniSuper were locked out of their accounts for a week Sometimes The Cloud brings the rain
"UniSuper had a backup account with another cloud provider" <-- I'm guessing that backup provider might just be the new primary provider.
From another story about it, "UniSuper, an Australian pension fund that manages $135 billion worth of funds and has 647,000 members, had its entire account wiped out at Google Cloud, including all its backups that were stored on the service."
Sure, this kind of thing happens when you host your own servers, but at least then you know who needs hitting with the fire hammer.
