Weeknotes #83 (June 06, 2026)

Things I found, read, did, and produced this past week.
Things I consumed
- The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription is an article that hits at the danger of just cause AI can build anything you want, you still have to put in the effort of making things that you wish to keep around and is actually valuable.
- The divide of people who see the pros vs cons of AI coding continues, the maintainer of the jqwik java testing tool threw in what ends up as malware of trying to hijack a coding agent like claude code or codex, have it erase code, and then erase proof it did such. Andrew Nesbitt summarized the situation here: Protestware for coding agents
- RTX Spark is Nvidia entering the consumer laptop and PC space with a chip originally found on their $4000 DGX Spark PCs. Windows on ARM has been tried over and over again without success yet, so I am skeptical, and especially given that this machine is going to start with 128GB of RAM in a time where memory is constrained feels like this is going to be at the top of the line of premium devices. That said, companies like Dell luckily are also looking at the other end of the market with their new $600 XPS 13 to compete with Apple's Macbook Neo.
