Anthropic used Claude to write a C compiler in Rust (CCC). I've really enjoyed following the discussion. The initial post shows how they wrote the harness with GCC as an oracle and a prompt specifying a design using SSA. The author has clear domain expertise. https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-c-compiler

I enjoyed this article about personal project programming, but I particularly liked this definition: "Production code has a phone number to call when it breaks"

I'm a fan of the Software Unscripted podcast, and I particularly enjoyed this recent episode about CrowdStrike and security culture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzjaZssBEiI The guest (Kelly Shortridge) compares attackers to lawyers trying to find loopholes. This is such a great analogy.
