Thorsten Ball's Joy & Curiosity #96 surfaces Russ Cox on 'tactical tornado' programmers and GitHub's 2.9 billion commits a month
Ball's August 23 roundup pulls Russ Cox's People of ACM warning about tactical-tornado programmers who ship fast and leave debt behind, GitHub's own outage post-mortem disclosing 2.9 billion commits per month, and Vincent Martí's Cursor writeup on running Git at scale. He also singles out Bun 1.4's release notes as exceptionally comprehensive for a single release, and admires the writing in the Stripe/OpenRouter investor letter. The mix is a useful signal of what one Amp engineer thinks is worth reading right now.
