19 posts held, back to 24 July 2022 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 19 posts for this entry, the most recent from 1 June 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Measured directly from 2 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
74 reactions across 18 posts, in 3 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 48.6% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👍 | 36 | 48.6% | |
| ❤ | 35 | 47.3% | |
| 👎 | 3 | 4.05% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 18 of the 19 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 74reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 19 most recent posts we hold, published 24 July 2022 to 1 June 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
In this video Bret Weinstein argues that AI is being deployed as a kind of "degenerate intellectual communism" that takes from human creators according to ability, then charges them for access (full episode). To each according to his need, no. You may need top level AI. You may have done high quality work that got ingested into the AI and is therefore serving other people. And you may need top level access that you …

Matt Pocock on how to stay in control and create high-quality software using AI-driven software engineering. Core thesis #1: SW Engineering best practices are more important than ever in the age of AI, as they help AI to reason well and align with our intent. As AI is not yet capable of applying these principles independently, it is our responsibility as SWEs to oversee the high-level tasks (PRD, architecture, revi…

Barr Group’s Embedded C Coding Standard was designed specifically to reduce the number of programming defects in embedded software. By following this coding standard, firmware developers not only reduce hazards to users and time spent in the debugging stage of their projects but also improve the maintainability and portability of their software. Together these outcomes can greatly lower the cost of developing high-re…
Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it? —Brian Kernighan #quote #programming

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) are surprisingly good at solving freelance coding tasks. Likely a great opportunity for improving efficiency and thereby quality. Research paper: SWE Lancer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOulznmMpDA However, still too unreliable to fully trust them.

Working paper argues AI creates an "inflection point" for each job type. Before that, AI boosts freelancer earnings (web devs saw a +65% increase). After, AI replaces freelancers (translators saw -30% drop). They suggest that once AI starts replacing a job, it doesn't go back. Theoretically, we developed a Cournot competition model to explain and identify that an inflection point exists for each occupation. Before …

The 18 reasons complex systems fail Website: how.complexsystems.fail PDF: ResearchGate Source: @emollick (X) Complex systems fail for complex reasons and only adaption & learning by organizations, as well as individual "actions on the sharp end", keep us safe.

Showing the 12 most recent of 19 posts we hold for @embedded_sw_quality. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 14 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
