Two write-ups are out now: Martin’s closing fragment and the official Thoughtworks report . Five headline findings, of which the first is the one… ## [Full circle](https://halwalter.substack.com/p/full-circle) _2026-07-24 · Hal Walter · Hardscrabble Times_ Harrison starts a third job, but the backstory is thought-provoking. ## [Build-time AI vs Run-time AI](https://paulhammant.com/2026/07/20/build-time-vs-run-time-ai/) _2026-07-20 · Paul Hammant's blog_ I was at a ThoughtWorks “The Future of Software Engineering” event in Switzerland some weeks ago. What a braintrust. Lots of conversations about AI generally, agentic AI in particular and harness engineering. Here’s a distinction I’ve been mulling for a while and keep reaching for in conversations about AI systems in the enterprise: build-time AI versus run-time AI . One is artifact-oriented, the… ## [Radical. Media.](https://halwalter.substack.com/p/radical-media) _2026-07-03 · Hal Walter · Hardscrabble Times_ A photo essay ## [Google-style DAG build systems (with Aether Build)](https://paulhammant.com/2026/07/02/google-style-dag-build-systems/) _2026-07-02 · Paul Hammant's blog_ For years I’ve contrasted depth-first recursive build technologies (Maven, Gradle, MSBuild) with directed acyclic graph (DAG) ones (Blaze/Bazel, Buck, Nx). I keep a small simulation repo, google-monorepo-sim , to make the difference concrete rather than hand-wavy. This entry walks through it. The sim used to be a pile of .compile.sh / .tests.sh / .dist.sh bash scripts with a shared-build-scripts/… ## [The Nation's Toughest Marathon](https://halwalter.substack.com/p/the-nations-toughest-marathon) _2026-06-28 · Hal Walter · Hardscrabble Times_ The Blur gets on the podium ## [Cherry-pick Asymmetry](https://paulhammant.com/2026/06/22/the-cherry-pick-asymmetry/) _2026-06-22 · Paul Hammant's blog_ Context is Trunnk-Based Development with Branch for Relase, and cherry picking. Trunk is main or master for may Git repos, of course. A friend put a scenario to me and I gave him a strong answer: I said it was statistically impossible for the bug to still be on trunk once formal QA had signed it off on the release-branch-coupled CD environment. He raised an eyebrow. This post is me making good on… ## [Marathon training and an ultra journey](https://halwalter.substack.com/p/marathon-training-and-an-ultra-journey) _2026-06-20 · Hal Walter · Hardscrabble Times_ We're dropping the final chapter of our book on Father's Day! ## [Licensed Dispensaries, Pay with Crypto (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/UI32dHkBWNAH) _2026-06-20 · **Sponsored**_ Search verified licensed dispensaries and pay with Bitcoin, Lightning, or stablecoins. ## [The limits of merging experiment](https://paulhammant.com/2026/04/28/limits-of-merging-experiment/) _2026-04-28 · Paul Hammant's blog_ A colleague suggested the cherry-picking way for trunk-based-development with branch for release needs worked examples cos there are foot-guns. Cherry-pick to a release branch isn’t crystal clear as a workflow The failure modes are more interesting than they look. To pick at it, I built a small playground - a single-file Sinatra CRUD app, an end-to-end Playwright test, and a series of trunk… ## [CMC Distance Carnival](https://halwalter.substack.com/p/cmc-distance-carnival) _2026-03-31 · Hal Walter · Hardscrabble Times_ "Hey, everyone was invited!" ## [Live Verify](https://paulhammant.com/2026/03/17/live-verify/) _2026-03-17 · Paul Hammant's blog_ Nobody cares about a thing in the tech world until it is successful, and I have something here that could be, but isn’t yet. Its a brand new idea and has an immense chasm to cross. Most of it is an adoption/patronage chasm, but there are technical challenges too. I’ve blogged before on this enough to have timed out any change of filing a patent on it. So there’s no way I could make a SaaS that… ## [A Run Through Time](https://halwalter.substack.com/p/a-run-through-time) _2026-03-15 · Hal Walter · Hardscrabble Times_ Writing in Real Time here, for a short break from The Blur Goes to College.

Yes, I do have reservations, but I wanted an in-the-DOM interpreted “glue language” that also works on the command line (mac, win and lin). I wanted it… ## [Ship software peacefully (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/mGKgIrGzccsE) _2025-09-14 · **Sponsored**_ Deploy apps from your repo with auto-config, instant previews, scaling, and monitoring. ## [In the shadow of Hope Pass](https://halwalter.substack.com/p/in-the-shadow-of-hope-pass) _2025-08-20 · Hal Walter · Hardscrabble Times_ We recently spent four days camped out at timberline up Hope Pass —about 11,800 feet altitude — helping support the highest aid station for the Leadville Trail 100 ultramarathon.
