Venkatesh Rao: Silicon Valley Vibe Shift. It’s been a tumultuous week in Silicon Valley, marked by significant layoffs. I don’t normally comment on this sort of thing, but this time it is entangled with what feels like a generational Silicon Valley vibe shift comparable to the dotcom bust of 2000. (more)

Kartik Agaram says Literate programming: Donald Knuth is doing it wrong. On the whole, people have failed to appreciate the promise of literate programming because the early examples are just not that good, barring the small program in Knuth's original paper. (more)
Luke Muehlhauser: A beginner’s guide to modern art jazz. (Highlights below are focused on his 'top' choices, so I can work my way through them; also incl some non-'top' choices that I wanted linked.)

David Warren Brubeck (/ˈbruːbɛk/; December 6, 1920 – December 5, 2012) was an American jazz pianist and composer. Often regarded as a foremost exponent of cool jazz, Brubeck's work is characterized by unusual time signatures and superimposing contrasting rhythms, meters, and tonalities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Brubeck
Charles Parker Jr. (August 29, 1920 – March 12, 1955), nicknamed "Bird" or "Yardbird", was an American jazz saxophonist, band leader and composer.[1] Parker was a highly influential soloist and leading figure in the development of bebop,[2] a form of jazz characterized by fast tempos, virtuosic technique, and advanced harmonies. Parker was an extremely fast virtuoso and introduced revolutionary harmonic ideas into jazz, including rapid passing chords, new variants of altered chords, and chord substitutions. Primarily a player of the alto saxophone, Parker's tone ranged from clean and penetrating to sweet and somber. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Parker
John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie (/ɡɪˈlɛspi/; October 21, 1917 – January 6, 1993) was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, composer, educator and singer.[2] He was a trumpet virtuoso and improviser, building on the virtuosic style of Roy Eldridge[3] but adding layers of harmonic and rhythmic complexity previously unheard in jazz. His combination of musicianship, showmanship, and wit made him a leading popularizer of the new music called bebop. His beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, scat singing, bent horn, pouched cheeks, and light-hearted personality provided one of bebop's most prominent symbols.[2] In the 1940s, Gillespie, with Charlie Parker, became a major figure in the development of bebop and modern jazz.[4] He taught and influenced many other musicians, including trumpeters Miles Davis, Jon Faddis, Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown, Arturo Sandoval, Lee Morgan,[5] and Chuck Mangione,[6] and balladeer Johnny Hartman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dizzy_Gillespie
