Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has been edged out of the headlines this past week, or so, by the administration's current flirtation with a constitutional crisis. But the DOGE team is still busy. One project on the office's agenda, originally reported by WIRED late last month, is to rewrite the Social Security Administration's code base—in other words, the agency's computer programs, which handle millions of Americans' personal and financial data. Brooke sits down with Clive Thompson, author of Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World, contributing writer to New York Times Magazine, and monthly columnist for Wired, to discuss the coding language under DOGE's microscope.    On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

What effects will generative AI have on coding and software engineering? Will it make anyone a coder? Will it just turn software engineering into copy/paste exercises? How will the top coders use AI to hack their own efficiency and productivity, and why is it so hard for the large tech companies to do the same things that the smaller ones do?Clive Thompson is a journalist for the New York Times Magazine and Wired as well as the author of multiple books, including Smarter Than You Think: How Technology Is Changing Our Minds for the Better and Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World.Greg and Clive delve into the cultural and societal impacts of the rise of coders, exploring how the coding mindset infiltrates various aspects of life and business. They also discuss the nature of work in software engineering, the shift towards iterative and agile methodologies, and the potential future shaped by generative AI and its implications for the field. Clive explains the paradoxes of efficiency, the challenges of maintenance over creation in coding, and how his life experience and interests converge in his upcoming book about cycling across the United States and the future of mobility. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Show Links:Recommended Resources:Max WeberNeil PostmanSamuel Taylor ColeridgePaul GrahamRay OzzieJeff AtwoodReid HoffmanGuest Profile:CliveThompson.netWikipedia ProfileSocial Profile on XProfile on LinkedInHis Work:Amazon Author PageSmarter Than You Think: How Technology Is Changing Our Minds for the BetterCoders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the WorldWired ArticlesEpisode Quotes:Why do coders need an intense level of focus? If this thing happens [in coding], it will change this other thing. If that thing changes, this thing over here has to happen, and that's also reliant on this other thing. And it's so hard to get the structure of this in your head that you might spend several hours just looking at what you're trying to do, just thinking about it, sort of, getting it in your head. And when it's finally there, then you can begin to do the work. And of course, a couple interesting things fall out of this psychology. One is that you want to stay there. It took you three to four hours to get there, so you don't want to leave. So, you want to stay there for 10, 15, 20, 48 hours. The huge problem with managing coders.[18:15] This is a huge problem with managing coders is that they love learning, in a weird way. You would argue, isn't this an ideal employee? Someone who is eager to learn. Constantly learning new things. Very few employees are like, “I am just omnivorous in my spare time when I'm not being paid, I'm going to do more of this.” I mean, how many accountants at your company go home, and then from eight o'clock at night to two in the morning, do more accounting for fun, just voluntarily? That's a coder, right? And what they're doing is they're going home, and they're doing crazy new forms of software that they're not really allowed to do at work, but they often try and bring that in, and they'll be like, “I'm now obsessed with this framework. Hey, boss, can we use this? And it's like, “No! That framework is experimental and not reliable, and I want you to do the same old boring thing we've been doing for 30 years, because that is reliable.” And this is just a very hard thing. There's an excitement in the craft that a lot of software developers have that's not what the job requires.An interesting analogy between law and codingThat's a great analogy that I'd never heard or thought of before, which is that law needs to be patched the way that software needs to be patched. Because it's the same challenge, which is that [in] writing code and writing law, you're trying to create a system that other people are going to use. Humans are going to use it. And so you, the author of the law, or you, the author of the code, have to try sitting at your desk to imagine all the things that those dozens, hundreds, thousands, millions, or billions of humans will do with this system. And you can't. There's no way you can. So, you have to just put it out there and watch and see what they do, and then fix it as it goes, basically. And, of course, the more critical the system, or the less critical system, the more or less you can get away with.The mental character of coding is closer to that of an artist than it is to many other forms of engineering.Coders hate being interrupted, and that's part of why they're regarded as being such irascible weirdos. [It] is like, if you tap them on the shoulder, they'll bite you.There's something delightful about that mentality of focus. There's something maybe even [to] be learned from it. It's one of the reasons why I realized the more I talked to coders about their attentional needs, and the sweep and drama, and a sort of, epic mental toil, that it reminded me of novelists, of artists, of poets, of temperament. The mental character of coding is closer to that of an artist than it is to many other forms of engineering.

It can be difficult for us to trust God when He works in mysterious ways. The Jewish believers of the early church felt this and struggled heavily with the ways God chose to move among the Gentiles. As they worked on understanding and accepting the direction God was leading in Acts 11 He just kept moving forward! There is truth to understand that nothing will be able to hinder God’s plan from being accomplished in His timing, and for His glory! His word and character help us to trust in the midst of confusing movement, but, like the Jewish believers we see throughout the New Testament, we don’t always take the help they offer… If you’ve ever found yourself in a place where God was doing something, but you were not aware, ready, or comfortable with how He was doing it you will find good company in the beginning of Acts 11. The call to us as believers is to still find ways to trust and praise God as He moves, because when we do we witness Him going far beyond what we could ask or imagine. The book of Acts started with Jewish Followers of Jesus, but at this transition point we see the explosion of the faith in the Gentile world. It was among the Gentiles even that the term Christian was first used to describe the followers of Jesus. God truly works in mysterious ways, but we can always trust that His plan is "good, pleasing, and perfect.”(Rom 12:2) Join us this weekend for our Celebration Sunday happening at the Weborg 21 center in Gering! One service at 11am followed by our annual Chili, Soup, Cinnamon Roll, and BBQ Meat Competition! God has given us much to celebrate, so come have a great time with us praising Him! -Pastor Ben For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49329809

Have you ever come to a moment in your life where the plans, ideas, and hopes you had moving forward all shifted into something unexpected? The early church in Acts came to many moments like this, but none ended with more impact than the salvation of the house of Cornelius. These gentiles were the opening of the tap that led to a flood still raging to this day. As a church we have to ask the question of our own community; “Who is truly unreachable with the Gospel?”. The answer is simple, but the implications change everything! Join us this weekend for a dive into the word, worship, prayer, and focus on the call we have as the Body of Christ! -Pastor Ben For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49329808

This weekend we look at the conversion of Saul, who later calls himself the “foremost of sinners.” The last we heard of him, he had aided and agreed with Stephen’s stoning. What an enemy of the church! But not for long. God had a masterful plan for Saul’s life to bring him into the light, both literally and spiritually. Let’s celebrate the miracle together that God redeems even the worst of sinners and commit to carry that message to everyone we encounter! Key Scripture - Acts 9:22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ. For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49329807

Whose kingdom are you building? Difficult times, especially unexpected times, tend to reveal our motives and purpose. Is our life fully devoted for the purposes of Christ? Or are we set on pleasing ourselves? Sometimes this can be tricky to discern. We are good at deceiving ourselves. Thankfully, God allows challenges, the unexpected, and failures to help expose our hearts so that we are aware of whose kingdom we are really building. Come fellowship with us as we study Acts chapter 8 and how intense persecution and the unexpected revealed the mission of the church. Key verse - Acts 8:4 “Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.” For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49329805

For centuries the nation of Israel, God’s chosen people, walked in ways that were not with God. They had a good image going for being very spiritually rich, and full of devotion to God, but it was surface level at best and down right corrupt at its worst. This week as we look into Acts 7, Stephen gives a sermonette to the religious Jews who were accusing him falsely, about this very reality. They had lost their way. They had forgotten their founding faith, worshipped wrongfully the idols of the surrounding cultures and self, and rejected the redeemers God had sent them again and again to draw them back to Himself. We as Christians today aren’t often much better… We walk in surface level religion instead of true faith. We worship whatever promises to fulfill us, abandoning whatever may get in our way. We often live lives that believe we can take care of ourselves instead of trusting in the Redeemer. This is a culture for the glory of me rather than the glory of God! We as believers should be living lives of faith, worship, and trust that point the watching world directly to the Savior, Jesus. Join us this weekend as we continue our series in the book of Acts! -Pastor Ben For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49323817

Have you ever been in a situation where there was a good thing you jumped at doing, only to find out later that a greater opportunity was missed? Sometimes this happens in our lives, and we have to walk with wisdom and discernment to not abandon the great for the good. It’s HARD though! We love to do what is good! It feels good, looks good, sounds good… Nobody will question us for doing good! The reality the early church faced in Acts 6 was one where doing what was good could cause them to abandon the greater calling. No one would have questioned them. Nobody would have felt anything but cared for. Wisdom comes in and we get to se an incredible moment of leadership willing to risk everything for the greater calling upon them, and us as The Church. Join us this weekend to take a deeper dive into the Word and see how sometimes the “good” thing isn’t the right thing. -Pastor Ben Passage - Acts 6:1-15 For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49323813

Proverbs 9:10 tells us, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.” The first thing we see in Acts 5 the result of a lack a reverent fear of the Lord, and God’s immediate judgment on this requires the life of two offenders. The result is a wide-sweeping reverential fear across the whole of God’s people. In contrast to the irreverent behavior of these two at the beginning, we see the boldness of the Apostles as they share the gospel confidently in the midst of opposition. It is here we see their fear of the Lord played out as they all say, “We must obey God rather than man.” God sees our hearts and knows if we are completely sold out to him or if we are holding back a portion for ourselves. God also calls us to fear and obey him no matter what the earthy consequence may be. This purity before God and confidence in Him led to continued growth of the early church, both numerically and spiritually. Acts 5:29 - But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.” For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49323811

Feeling exhausted? At the end of your rope? Having a hard time believing God can provide a breakthrough? These are common challenges that face every follower of Jesus. We need more than good intentions, some Bible knowledge, and a weekly gathering to live a victorious Christian life. We are in a war and we need power! The early church lived in the power of the Gospel, but how? It was not through complexity. It was not through big conferences with keynote speakers, great food, and awesome music. It was through suffering, serving on the front lines, and a deep, intimate, and life-altering encounter with a Person, Jesus Christ. How was the early church able to endure so much with such great effectiveness? Acts chapter 4 provides great encouragement on how we can find hope, boldness, and the power to have victory in the spiritual war that we face. Key Scripture - Acts 4:19-20: But Peter and John answered them, “whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49323810

Signs of the Holy Spirit’s arrival continue to be seen as we take a look into Acts 3. In this chapter, we see a man who had been lame from birth called to stand up and walk, and he does! But this isn’t the only miracle in Acts 3. Have a look at Peter’s boldness! This is the same man who denied Jesus three times on the night of His betrayal, and now he is drawing others’ attention to their denial of Jesus and need for repentance and belief in Him for eternal life! For us to be on mission as a church, we need to be looking to help with the physical needs of others and remembering their greater need of a Savior in Jesus. Let’s learn from Peter’s example of being bold in the Spirit and clearly articulating the gospel to those in spiritual need. Acts 3:6 But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49316665

When my wife and I got married and formed the initial framework of a new family we began to identify values that focused us. Shifting from the life of a single adult to a married couple means new values towards new purposes. Once we started having kids and the family was growing those values became all the more important for us to hold to and keep focused on! In the early church we see values come in quickly that identified them as followers of Jesus, united them as one body, and launched them forward towards the mission. The Church today is called to be driven by the same values towards the same mission, but are we? Join us this weekend to dive into the next part of our series through the book of Acts, “A New Tribe”. -Pastor Ben Main passage: Acts 2:42-47 For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49315845

In Matthew 16:18, Jesus promised to build His church, His "ekklesia," a term meaning a "called out group" or "movement" rather than a mere physical building or a social club. This "ekklesia" refers to a community dedicated to a divine cause. Jesus' intent was to establish a movement with a mission to glorify God by reaching every nation. This purpose is highlighted in Acts 2:1-41, where the diverse language groups gathered in Jerusalem witnesses the birth of a new community—the Church. This new movement, birthed at Pentecost, signifies a shift in God's plan for humanity. Instead of a single nation, God now seeks worshipers from every tribe and tongue, uniting them in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Rev. 5:9-10 The Church, therefore, is not just a building or social organization but a global, transformative body empowered by and indwelt with the Spirit and committed to spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. This mission is anchored in the resurrection of Jesus, who promised that belief in Him leads to eternal life. The Church's role is to boldly declare this message and live out its divine mission and empowered by the Holy Spirit, to make disciples who will make disciples and change the world.

Have you ever been in a new place and felt lost? We can study maps and pictures, but the real thing is often different than what we can visualize through graphics. Or perhaps you have helped start a new group, organization, or club. Whenever a new group forms there is excitement and often times some confusion. What should we do? How should we do it? In Acts chapter 1 we see A New Tribe forming. The mission and even locations that the New Tribe is given are given are new. They have never done this before. Yet they have peace and direction because of the Word of Christ. He did not leave the New Tribe directionless to figure things out on their own. Rather He gave them the Truth needed to be established in God’s love and purpose. Come join us this Sunday as we study how the “New Tribe” navigated their new beginnings. Key Verse - Acts 1:2 "until the day when He was taken up, after He had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He had chosen." For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49299630

People are meant for relationships. We see this as people are drawn to various kinds of communities. Community can provide a sense of identity, belonging, and simply being involved with something that is bigger than yourself. This can come by way of sports teams, a job, a hobby, community support groups, home school groups, AMWAY groups, etc. Yet there is something that separates Christian community, or at least should. Christians are not connected based on ethnicity, economic status, political bend, shared interests, a set of morals, or even a common goal. Christians are connected based upon a Person, Jesus Christ. Jesus gives us His Spirit that connects us at a deeper level than anything else on this planet can. Our fall series will take us through the first 11 chapters of Acts as we look at how “A New Tribe” was birthed. How God developed a unique community by the Person of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the truth of God’s Word. Come join us this Sunday at 8 am as we look at an overview of the Book Acts chapters 1-11. - Pastor Luke Worden Key Verse: Acts 9:31 "So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied." (ESV: Fall Campaign Memory Verse) For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49299629

Pray This Way | Flip The Script Guest Pastor, Jeff Voth's sermon "Flip the Script" invites us to see the Bible as a unified story authored by God. He draws parallels between the Bible and other ancient epics, highlighting that while there are similarities, the Bible offers the truest account. He reminds us that the story isn't about us—it's God's story. He then moves into the Genesis narrative, exploring the creation and the fall of man. He highlights how the Bible's story quickly introduces conflict, with Adam and Eve's attempt to take control of the story leading to their downfall. Pastor Voth then takes us through the powerful narrative of Stephen, who, even as he faces death in a pit, prays for his persecutors. This act of faith leads to the transformation of Saul into the Apostle Paul, illustrating how God's story uses even our darkest moments for greater purposes. Pastor Voth concludes by urging us to find our place in this divine narrative, trusting that Jesus, the hero of the story, will bring redemption and renewal.

Join us for Episode 11 in our seven-week series, The Psalms of Ascent: A Lenten Pilgrimage. The word translated “ascent” means “to go up.” It gives an idea of being on a journey, moving to a higher place spiritually. In this week's episode, Lisa and Laura dive into Psalm 133, and speak openly and honestly about Christian community and family unity, and why on earth it is so hard. If you think that you are the only family on the block facing difficulties, Lisa and Laura are here to help shed light on that lie! Grab your Bible and get ready to invite Him. He is waiting to transform your heart. Open your Heart to our key Scripture.  Psalm 133:1–3. The Blessedness of Unity. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down upon the beard, upon the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life for evermore. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.  Deuteronomy 11:20: You shall write them on the doorpost of your house and your gates. Deuteronomy 11:18: You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and fix them as an emblem on your forehead. Romans 15:4: For what things soever were written were written for our learning; that through patience and the comfort of the Scriptures, we might have hope. Colossians 1:17: He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.   Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Take some time to reflect on whether you are carrying the burden of being “the glue” in your tribe. What are you responsible for doing (that is in your control)? What is out of your control and needs to be entrusted to God? And here's a challenge… If you are trying to be “the glue,” memorize Colossians 1:17: He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.   Show mentions.

In the wake of the five alarm fire at Twitter, a small, quiet social media alternative has been quietly attracting the tweeting weary. Mastodon, named for the prehistoric elephant relatives, was originally created by a German programmer named Eugen Rochko in 2016. And even though it shares similarities to its blue bird peer, the two platforms possess many differences. For one, Mastodon is organized by groups called "servers" or "instances," there's no universal experience like on Twitter. It's also completely decentralized — each server is run by individuals or small groups — with no overseeing company. But is it here to stay?
