Airports are stressful for everyone, but for blind travellers they can become a labyrinth of broken processes, awkward rules, and misplaced “assistance.” A personal account of how accessibility often fails in physical spaces—and why better design still matters.

AI coding tools have become astonishingly powerful in the past 3 months — but power without discipline is dangerous. As vibe coding spreads, the real differentiator isn't prompting skill but engineering judgement: specification, testing, and keeping garbage out of complex systems.

A social network for AI agents sounds like a quirky experiment—until you look closely. Moltbook reveals how open-source agents, granted real access to our data, could turn curiosity, speed and convenience into serious personal, corporate and societal risk.

“Doing sensible things is good. Inciting many other people to do sensible things is better” – Eben Upton, CEO of Raspberry Pi. Here are just 3 examples of that ethos in action last week.

Captchas aimed to block bots from scraping sites and creating fake accounts. Now bots outperform humans at them, while legitimate agents make blocking pointless. Vision-impaired users suffer as collateral damage—but new techniques may fix this.
