Peter Naur reminded us some decades ago that a program is more than its source code. Rather a program is a theory that lives in the minds of the developer(s) capturing what the program does, how developer intentions are implemented, and how the program can be changed over time. Usually this theory is not just in the minds of one developer but fragments of this theory are distributed across the minds of many, if not thousands, of other developers.

Cognitive debt is likely a much bigger threat than technical debt, as AI and agents are adopted.
hypothesis: in AI and agentic AI use cog debt likely bigger issue than techdebt.
Technical debt lives in the code; cognitive debt lives in developers' minds
Image putting techdebt and cognitive debt next to each other. Looks very generated btw. Techdebt described as legacy code, quick fixes, buggy logic: messy code & complexity. Cognitive debt as: lost understanding, knowledge gaps, team confusion: overhelmed developers.
Cognitive debt
If we treat [[Corporations as Slow AI 20180201210258]], how does this play out in organisations, what have we developed in response to it? Do corporate boards have an overview of what is really happening? Do I in my team? #openvraag
the humans involved may have simply lost the plot and may not understand what the program is supposed to do, how their intentions were implemented, or how to possibly change it.
key imo. generating code / material, can quickly mean loss of overview (I see how that happens in my use of #algogens if I don't explicitly counteract it), uncertainty about how demands were implemented, and thus what entry points for change there are.
communicates the notion that the debt compounded from going fast lives in the brains of the developers and affects their lived experiences and abilities to “go fast” or to make change
Cognitive debt here described that it comes from going fast during dev, resulting in reduced ability to make changes / go fast in the future, bc of affected experiences and abilities of the people involved.
Cognitive debt, a term gaining traction
Technical debt nicely captures that “human understanding” also matters, but the words “technical debt” conjure up the notion that the accrued debt is a property of the code and effort needs to be spent on removing that debt from code.
While techdebt is about the accumulation of human decisions, and the resulting erosion of human understanding, the term itself suggests it is a property of the code itself, and that one could remove it from code.
The term technical debt is often used to refer to the accumulation of design or implementation choices that later make the software harder and more costly to understand, modify, or extend over time
Techdebt def used in this article. the sum total of choices made over time that make software harder to understand / maintain / modify over time. (Is there a measure for it, when do you decide to replace e.g.? #openvraag)

I've experienced this myself on some of my more ambitious vibe-code-adjacent projects. I've been experimenting with prompting entire new features into existence without reviewing their implementations and, while it works surprisingly well, I've found myself getting lost in my own projects. I no longer have a firm mental model of what they can do and how they work, which means each additional feature becomes harder to reason about, eventually leading me to lose the ability to make confident decisions about where to go next.
Vibecoding and adjacent projects lead to loosing overview of your own work, no mental model of what you made as you would have otherwise. Extending something becomes harder over time, bc you don't know what you're actually extending from. This is a counter force (not counter argument I think) to the notion of genAI having deterministic automation as endpoint.

A description of the type of things Activate does w AI agents. Ref'd in [[Paolo’s Weblog It’s still time for free AI love]]
we might move again. The point is that we can. We can because we own our prompts, our skills, our databases, our memory architecture, they all live in our bar. None of it lives inside OpenAI or Anthropic. When we moved, we rewired the model layer and everything else stayed put. That’s the whole trick, really. If you control the pieces that make your agents smart, switching the engine underneath is just plumbing.

We're in the habit of exporting public money out of Europe, and importing dependencies.
This how Schleswig Holstein minister for digital transformation Dirk Schrödter phrases it: exporting public money, importing dependencies.
So, for now, Schleswig is still running Windows, but has replaced Microsoft Office with LibreOffice on "nearly 100 percent" of machines. It's using Thunderbird for email, calendars, and contacts, talking to Open-Xchange on the back end, alongside the Matrix-based Element for chat and Nextcloud for collaboration.

Brine also contains metals and chemicals (foreign to the marine environment) that have adverse effects on marine ecosystem
Brine also concentrates other materials, metal, chemicals. (at what point is brine dense enough to harvest such things)
Because energy for desalination increases with seawater salinity, buildup of salt in brine endangers potable water supply there.
pushing back brine into the sea means higher salinity and thus more energy needed for desalination.
The Persian Gulf (also known as Arabian Gulf) is surrounded by desalination plants with about 50% of worldwide capacity to desalinate seawater. Most of these plants dispose of hypersaline effluent (brine) via surface and nearshore outfall into the Gulf
some 50% of global desalination capacity is around the Persian gulf
more viable fixes such as modernizing irrigation or repairing urban water networks that lose nearly 30% of supply to leaks.

Groundwater extraction exceeds natural recharge by two- to threefold in many plains, causing land subsidence of 25–35 centimeters per year and collapsing centuries-old qanats.
groundwater extraction is 2 or 3 times larger than replenishment. Subsidence of 25-35 cm p yr. Old qanat systems collapse, increasing the problems.
Agriculture consumes roughly 90% of Iran’s water while contributing only about 12% of GDP, a ratio driven by inefficient flood irrigation and water-intensive crops like rice cultivated in arid basins.
Iran's agri uses 90% of water but is 12% GDP. Driven by flood irrigation (not drips e.g.) and crops that use lots (rice) grown in arid areas
The pipeline itself crosses some of Iran’s driest terrain, where heat and exposure could evaporate 20–30% of the transported water, while brine residues risk contaminating fragile soils.
evaporation during transport an issue
Desalination produces hypersaline brine, which, if discharged improperly, could raise salinity in parts of the Gulf of Oman by up to 1.5 times and increase water temperatures by 2°C, threatening marine ecosystems and already stressed fisheries.
Issue w desalination is the resulting brine and its disposal. How does Israel (a net exporter of desalinated water) deal with that?

Interview with [[Harold Jarche p]] on PKM etc.
PKM isn’t necessarily about disorientation, but it is a tool for exploration. You can then get to a point of reorientation, which may not be complete, and then be able to take action or make it actionable.
PKM as tool for exploration and perhaps later reorientation, towards action / actionable things. Vgl [[Actionable sense als groep 20200801065550]] blog disc some of us had in 2003.
I left Facebook 10 years ago and left Twitter 2 years ago. The only platform I’m on now is LinkedIn. And even there, some days I think that maybe I should get off it, too. I mean, the algorithm has changed so much. Here’s an example: a post I put on LinkedIn about 3 years ago got 29k views. Now, I’m lucky to get 1k views. That’s what the algorithm is. I have around 7k followers on LinkedIn, and I’m only getting 1k views? You know that the algorithm is just squeezing it down, and I’m not a paying member of LinkedIn, so…
Harold left FB 2015, Twitter 2023. As ambivalent about LinkedIn as I am. Says his engagement there is down by a factor 30. Only one in 7 of his contacts even sees his post.

You know, the e-books basically were a way for somebody who wanted to read my content in a book format, with a flow to it and things like that.

You mentioned that many of your blog posts begin as small moments of curiosity and questioning about the world around you and your clients’ experiences.
blogging as sense of wonder
No one wants to change.
unless there's a tied-to-emotion trigger.
I think I’ve touched some people individually. I’ve had some successful projects where we actually got something where we could see the benefits of what we were doing.
I've come to the conclusion that touching individuals is most of all one can do. And then spread that wrt [[Effectief gedrag is besmettelijk 20200831071537]]
being comfortable with not knowing is part of blogging. Sometimes I’m putting stuff out there, and I don’t know if it’s any good, I don’t know if it makes any sense, but I gotta get it out there, and let’s see what happens. There’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t go any further than a blog post. It is what it is. It’s my process of trying to make sense of things.
blogging as being comfortable with not knowing, holding questions. This comes close to writing as thinking itself.

holding questions
Dave Snowden? It’s a sense-making framework as well, but there’s a part where Dave talks about aporia: a state of puzzlement or disorientation, until you finally get to the point where you actually understand what you don’t know. First, you don’t even know what you don’t know, because everything is confusing. And then, through exploration, you get to a certain point where you think, “Okay, I don’t understand this, now I’ve got to learn about that.” So, I actually know what I don’t know, and now I can go into it and take some action. That’s where the actionable part comes. And part of that, too, is being comfortable with being disoriented.
refs [[Dave Snowden p]] aporia, disorientation as trigger to get a sense of what it is you don't know, through exploration. To get to the point where your knowledge need becomes actionable
Well, PKM is not actually my idea. There are other people who are writing about personal knowledge management. I changed it to mastery because I wanted to move away from the knowledge management world, which was too much about big systems and big databases. I wanted to focus on what I, as an individual, do, and what we as a community or a network do. For example, how do we enable that kind of collaboration and cooperation? So, personal knowledge mastery just became the term because it is about mastery, and you never master it completely, right? It’s like any discipline, a lifelong thing. You continuously try to get better.
how Harold replaced the m in pkm for mastery. This comes very close to my [[Kenniswerk is ambacht 20040924200250]] artisanal view on knowledge work. The focus on practice in community, networks and on your own. Vgl [[% Practice Praktijk OP]]
Right now, I have a book in progress with Clark Quinn. Clark and I have known each other for 20 years, and it’s based on PKM, but it’s more of a how-to manual, right down to the actual process of personal knowledge mastery. The working title is Seek and Share, but we’ll see where it goes. So, we’ve been working on that for several months now.
Harold is working on a book on PKM. Seek and Share is working title.
The e-books that I published, for example, are years’ worth of blog posts, where I take the best ones, synthesize them, and put them together into a better product. The first book that I published was after 10 years of blogging. I took all these 10 years’ worth of content and launched the Perpetual Beta series. Then, I’ve added several to that. The last e-book was launched in 2024, and that was more of a questioning of what the heck is going on, because that was where AI was starting to rear its ugly head and everything.
Harold used his blog as source for creating ebooks on diff topics. #idea Vgl jaarboeken v blogarchief
“Do I keep writing through my retirement or not?” I haven’t done any major consulting lately. I’m running my workshops, doing some writing, hosting my community, and taking vacations. So, who knows?
Harold is nearing the end of his working life, what does it mean for his blogging? If it is a signboard more, or a professional writing outlet, then yes it may fall away. But if it is your primary space for expression, whatever the topic then the blog can morph with it, no?
other thing is that, given the state of the world right now, every once in a while, I question if what I’m writing about is really important. Who knows?
signals the relative triviality of a lot of his writing in face of geopolitical upheaval. I feel him but also fully disagree, clearly signalling your humanity in the face of it all is key. vgl othering. life is 'small' by def. There is no 'need' to be part of the 'big' discussions for a blog to matter. Cat pictures ftw.
Quite often, I’ll share a draft in my private community before I post it publicly. I think the only real change to my writing style and my focus is that I was doing less of it.
the groups are used for sharing drafts, meaning the blog contains more 'finished' writing in contrast. Imo this means the blog is less about wonder, curiosty and more about performance / presentation?
Well, I’m writing more in private communities. For example, I host a private community with about 40 global members. It’s focused on knowledge management, collaboration, sense-making, that kind of stuff. Because it’s private, we share a lot more there. We do a monthly Zoom call, and then we have a Slack space where we chat. I also belong to two other private groups like that.
Harold in response: withdraws to closed / cosy spaces with group. Not on the open web it seems. Does that make his blog more a signboard than a conversational space?
how do you ensure your blog remains an authentic space for human sensemaking and professional development? Also, has your perception of writing changed somehow because of that?
question how to keep blog as authentic space, for sensemaking/learning. And if it changes writing in the context of ai slop
There aren’t many people who’ve been blogging for 20+ years as I have. I don’t know if that helps a bit or not.
most early bloggers stopped. Impacting imagined audience? Has Harold, have I changed our imagined audience?
this year, I decided that I would get back in the game. My objective is to write one blog post per week. I’ll be happy if I can do that. But I’m also conscious that anything that I put up is going to be scraped, which makes me sort of think that I’m feeding the beast, but there are a number of people who have asked me to keep writing.
2026 decided to blog more again despite the aicrawlers. Can relate. I realised that my primary goal for blogging is distributed conversations as it was at the start, so whatever else happens is a 'don't care'.
I also started seeing things like my website getting scraped by Google and LLMs, which made me drop my writing a lot.
LLMs scraping made him write less.
My blogging activity peaked about 5 years ago. Around that time, I started seeing this effect of enshittification of online platforms. Before Musk bought Twitter, it was the number one source of visitors to my blog. I had 20k followers on Twitter at the time, and I noticed that these platforms were starting to use the algorithm, filtering things down.

It became my business card: “Do you want to know something about me? Go to my blog, read some articles, see what you think, and then maybe you want to hire me after that.”
Vgl [[Blogs als avatar 20030731084659]] and being hired by RWS
In those early days, the only way to communicate with people was in the blogosphere. I guess that’s where I sort of sharpened my ability to write.
Blogs as the original social software (before platforms became socmed)
But there wasn’t a whole bunch of work in the local area where I lived. I was looking at cheap ways for professional development and cheap ways for marketing to get things started. Then a friend suggested, “Why don’t you do a blog?” My current blog started in 2004. It was a way for me to reach out and to talk to people, and in those days of blogging, there were a lot of people who were helping others out, because there were so few of us, particularly in the educational technology area, where I was doing a lot of writing initially, and later in knowledge management.
[[Harold Jarche p]] describes how he came to blogging. He was in a place where there were no others to find. Blogging was finding the others. Early blogging scene was small and people helped eachother out. Did edutech first, then KM. Started in (early iirc) 2004.
Harold explained why he has chosen to focus on human intelligence rather than artificial intelligence, prioritizing depth, reflection, and community over scale and algorithms. This shift has led him increasingly toward smaller but trusted networks where knowledge can be shared more meaningfully.
smaller / trusted networks vs scale.
disorientation (an essential stage of learning)

Historian Mar Hicks documents this in Programmed Inequality: when work is coded as “women’s work,” it becomes a target for automation.

The pipeline runs from women as the original “computers” in the 1940s, through the masculinization of computing that pushed women into typing pools and administrative support, through the automation of those roles, to AI assistants today automating what remains: scheduling, reminding, organizing, emotional management.
There is a line from computers in the original sense, to typing pools, admin support, to automation to AI.
he connection between AI assistants and human secretaries isn’t metaphorical—it’s genealogical. In a 2020 academic paper titled “Alexa, Tell Me About Your Mother,” researchers Jessa Lingel and Kate Crawford trace the lineage explicitly. Alexa has a mother. Her name was Secretary.

This gap between feeling and explanation isn’t mysterious. Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio spent decades documenting what he calls “somatic markers”—physiological responses that guide decision-making before conscious reasoning engages. These signals aren’t primitive or irrational. They’re compressed expertise—the accumulated wisdom of lived experience, speaking faster than language.

Spanish court decision that algorithms used to decide about citizens by government entities, need to be transparant.

In NL the national algorithm register and tools like IAMA are aimed at this too, and have been in place for some time, even if not fully implemented yet.

WhatsApp has its own backup feature (actually, it has more than one way to do it.) WhatsApp supports end-to-end encrypted backups that can be protected with a password, a 64-digit key, and (more recently) passkeys. WhatsApp’s public docs are here and WhatsApp’s engineering writeup of the key-vault design is here. Conceptually, this is an interesting compromise: it reduces what cloud providers can read, but it introduces new key-management and recovery assumptions (and, depending on configuration, new places to attack). Importantly, even if you think backups are a mess — and they often are — this is still a far cry from the effortless, universal access alleged in this lawsuit.
WhatsApp has its own backup feature, w additional key pairs etc. But this is not what is being claimed.
If you use native device backup on iOS or Android devices (for example, iCloud device backup or the standard Android/Google backup), your WhatsApp message database may be included in a device backup sent to Apple or Google.
backed-up decrypted message can be stored elsewhere when you do backups of your phone, e.g. Google or Apple depending on your device
Several online commenters have pointed out that there are loopholes in WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption guarantees. These include certain types of data that are explicitly shared with WhatsApp, such as business communications (when you WhatsApp chat with a company, for example.) In fairness, both WhatsApp and the lawsuit are very clear about these exceptions. These exceptions are real and important. WhatsApp’s encryption protects the content of your messages, it does not necessarily protect information about who you’re talking to, when messages were sent, and how your social graph is structured. WhatsApp’s own privacy materials talk about how personal message content is protected while other categories of data exist.
The lawsuit is not about metadata, or WhatsApp use within a company which is not E2EE apparently (making it very unsuited for work situations I'd say)
The most important thing to keep in mind here is that Meta’s encryption happens on the client application, the one you run on your phone. If the claims in this lawsuit are true, then Meta would have to alter the WhatsApp application so that plaintext (unencrypted) data would be uploaded from your app’s message database to some infrastructure at Meta, or else the keys would. And this should not be some rare, occasional glitch. The allegations in the lawsuit state that this applied to nearly all users, and for every message ever sent by those users since they signed up. Those constraints would tend to make this a very detectable problem. Even if WhatsApp’s app source code is not public, many historical versions of the compiled app are available for download. You can pull one down right now and decompile it using various tools, to see if your data or keys are being exfiltrated. I freely acknowledge that this is a big project that requires specialized expertise — you will not finish it by yourself in a weekend (as commenters on HN have politely pointed out to me.) Still, reverse-engineering WhatsApp’s client code is entirely possible and various parts of the app have indeed been reversed several times by various security researchers. The answer really is knowable, and if there is a crime, then the evidence is almost certainly* right there in the code that we’re all running on our phones.
If the claim is correct, one could reverse engineer the app to see if true. Not a low hurdle but possible. 'the answer is knowable'
In the case of WhatsApp, the application software is written by a team inside of Meta. This wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing if the code was open source, and outside experts could review the implementation. Unfortunately WhatsApp is closed-source, which means that you cannot easily download the source code to see if encryption performed correctly, or performed at all. Nor can you compile your own copy of the WhatsApp app and compare it to the version you download from the Play or App Store. (This is not a crazy thing to hope for: you actually can do those things with open-source apps like Signal.)
WhatsApp being closed source cannot be proven to work as advertised by outsiders. Unlike Signal
Today WhatsApp describes itself as serving on the order of three billion users worldwide, and end-to-end encryption is on by default for personal messaging. They haven’t once been ambiguous about what they claim to offer. That means that if the allegations in the lawsuit proved to be true, this would be one of the largest corporate coverups since Dupont.
Publicly WhatsApp has always maintained they do E2EE, the lawsuit says otherwise, that would be a major scandal. But also makes the claim hard to swallow
The state of encryption on major messaging apps in early 2026. Notice that three of these platforms are operated by Meta.
this is a sobering image. Signal at 70 million monthly active users. Apple imessage 1,3 billion Whatsapp 3 billion Instagram 2 billion FB Messenger 1 billion Telegram 1 billion Snapchat 900 million Discord 200million WeChat 1.3 billion Dingtalk 191million QQ 553 million no mention of Threema too tiny I suppose.
Not only does WhatsApp’s encryption prevent Meta from mining your chat content for advertising or AI training
again, not true for the metadata though
should never be able to read the content of your messages.
no mention here of the type of metadata WhatsApp holds: Signal only if account exists, and when last used. WhatsApp has contact lists and the date / time of every message between sender/receivers etc. That in itself is an issue imo.
Beginning in 2014 (around the time they were acquired by Facebook), the app began rolling out end-to-end (E2E) encryption based on the Signal protocol.
WhatsApp started rolling out E2EE around the time they were acquired by Meta. They use the Signal protocol
The downside of vast scale is that apps like this can also collect data at similarly large scale. Every time you send a message through an app like WhatsApp, you’re sending that data first to a server run by WhatsApp’s parent company, Meta.
The scale is the reason the collected data is an issue.
In terms of scale, modern messaging apps are unbelievably huge. At the start of the period in the lawsuit, WhatsApp already had more than one billion monthly active users. Today that number sits closer to three billion. This is almost half the planet. In many countries, WhatsApp is more popular than phone calls.
Scale of WhatsApp is close to 3 billion people.

De Duitse investering zorgt ervoor dat Tennet niet langer zelf het merendeel van de aandelen heeft van de Duitse activiteiten.

"Hierdoor beschikt TenneT Holding over volledige betrokkenheid bij belangrijke besluiten."
The shares of Tennet Germany are: Tennet Holding 28,9% German state: 25% APG (Dutch pensionfund), Norwegian state oil fund, Singapore state investment fund (huh?), together the remaining 46%. This seems to leave TenneT a minority but still largest shareholder.

De “call-in bevoegdheid” komt voort uit een initiatiefwetsvoorstel van GroenLinks-PvdA kamerlid Bushoff. De gedachte daarbij is dat bedrijfsovernames, ook als er nog geen gevaar is voor een echt monopolie, toch ongewenst kunnen zijn. Het voorstel noemt daarbij Co-Med, waar veel huisartsenpraktijken onder gingen vallen, met vervelende gevolgen. Deze bevoegdheid lijkt ook best gevolgen te kunnen hebben voor overnames van Solvinity-achtige bedrijven met lokaal zeer belangrijke posities.
call-in bevoegdheid is een NL instrument, om in te kunnen grijpen bij bedrijfsovernames met grote externaliteiten voor de publieke zaak.
Met de new competition tool (NCT), ook omschreven in het beroemde Draghi report (pagina 302), is het mogelijk bedrijven bindende aanwijzingen te geven als er effectief geen concurrentie mogelijk is. Als voorbeeld, als het praktisch onmogelijk is om te concurreren met Google of Microsoft voor email en agendabeheer kan je hiermee een bindende aanwijzing geven dat deze bedrijven het mogelijk moeten maken om als nieuwe speler mee te doen in hun ecosysteem. Zo’n verplichting is er nu soms ook al, maar alleen onder hele specifieke omstandigheden. Met de NCT kan het ook onder de algemene voorwaarde dat er van een niet-concurrerende markt sprake is.
ACM krijgt beschikking over 'new competition tool' NCT a la Draghi , bindende aanwijzing nieuwe spelers toe te laten.
rijksdienst nu werkelijk gemarineerd is in Amerikaanse technologie & dito arbeidsverleden. Ook consultants, big four, integrators en andere partijen waar de overheid op leunt komen uit die wereld. Als we weg willen komen bij “big tech” is het een hele uitdaging om dat te doen vanuit zo’n achtergrond/denkwereld. Ik zeg hier nadrukkelijk niet dat de ambtenaren voor Microsoft werken overigens, noch dat ze corrupt zijn! Desondanks vind ik de monocultuur in achtergrond en adviseurs een probleem. “Microsoft-tenzij” is op veel plekken uitgeschreven en officieel beleid.
Goed punt: wie als deskundig geldt momenteel heeft een achtergrond in datgene waarvan men weg wil bewegen. Dus behoefte aan mensen die kennis hebben op het andere.
We uniformeren de bedrijfsvoering binnen het Rijk onder leiding van het ministerie van BZK: van ICT en inkoop tot HR, onder andere door verplichte standaarden en gezamenlijke voorzieningen

“Digitale inkoop en aanbestedingen worden gestandaardiseerd en gecentraliseerd, gestuurd op security-by-design, zero-trust, soevereiniteit, open source en ketenveiligheid. De overheid benut haar marktmacht om veilige standaarden af te dwingen en stelt rijksbrede minimumeisen op voor security. Om voor financiering in aanmerking te komen moeten IT-projecten van de overheid (> €5 mln.) aan centrale IT-standaarden worden getoetst”
is dit ook voor decentrale overheden? 'rijksbreed' is niet overheidsbreed. Wel goed dat uitsluitende voorwaarden lijken te gaan worden gesteld tav standaarden, security by design, zero-trust, soevereiniteit, open source en ketenveiligheid. Maar met 5 miljoen als ondergrens. Daarmee kijkt de VS nog vrolijk mee in alle documenten en zaaksystemen lijkt me. En grotere projecten zullen worden opgeknipt in fasen van elk net geen 5 miljoen. Maar is een begin.
