Friday Links: Certificates compromised, code reviews, and menu icons
23 Oct 2026 #mondaylinksHey there.
Here are 4 links I thought were worth sharing this week:
#1. Eight TLS certificates were compromised (3min) and the whole internet goes on alert.
#2. AI has exploded the amount of code written. Now imagine how fast Claude and other AI companies do it. Here’s how code review looks at scale at Anthropic (14min)
#3. Maybe you’re being “pushed” to use AI for productivity or speed, but it’s still OK to enjoy programming (4min)
#4. Now Apple removed icons next to every menu entry (2min).
And in case you missed it, and since we’re getting close to Halloween, here are the scariest lines of code I’ve written (2min).
(Bzzz…Radio voice) This email was brought to you by… Street-Smart Coding Manifesto. A case against syntax obsession. Because real impact comes from skills outside your IDE.
Keep coding smart.
See you next Friday,
Cesar
