Friday Links: Coding sucks, inverse laws of robotics, and Chrome surprises
08 May 2026 #mondaylinksHey there.
Here are 4 links I thought were worth sharing this week:
#1. Coding sucks (9min) It’s not like building a house, but like jumping into a ship, nobody knows where it goes…And no, AI didn’t take our jobs. It was something else.
#2. Isaac Asimov created three laws for robots to interact with humans. If you’ve watched I Robot, you already know them. And here are three inverse laws for humans to interact with AI (9min).
#3. Did you know that Chrome installs a 4GB AI model (30min) without asking you?…And if you delete it, it installs it again. Surprise!
#4. I already knew about robots.txt, but there’s a whole folder to host those files (2min).
And in case you missed it, I wrote on my blog about why Star Wars is the best saga (3min) and 7 interesting but random ideas I found (2min).
(Bzzz…Radio voice) This email was brought to you by… Street-Smart Coding, 30 lessons to help you code like a pro. From Googling to clear communication, it shares the lessons to help you stand out in the age of AI.
May the Force be with you,
