replace “executives” with a word describing a group the @bsky.app team want to “welcome” and that’s a lifetime ban right there

how’s everyone feeling about desiring the deaths of specific groups of people this morning

Taylor Lorenz@taylorlorenz.bsky.social

And people wonder why we want these executives dead

good…clearly

of course, because there’s only one perspective and that’s our one right

Dan Froomkin/Press Watch/Heads Up News@froomkin.bsky.social

Soon-Shiong saying "the reader can press a button and get both sides of that exact same story based on that story" is among the scariest and stupidest things I've ever heard. There'd be an alternative version of each story written by AI in Trumpese??? www.cnn.com/2024/12/05/m...

this is very honest and yet remarkably blinkered the cherry on top? the irony of using the term “social murderers” whilst endorsing those who promote murdering a specific group on this social platform exquisite

Apparently spicy take here but I think assassinations are bad, actually

the fact this has 21k likes and hasn’t led to a ban for promoting actual murder shows how fucked up this place really is anyone noticing this shit or you all got your head too far in the echo chamber to realise the insanity?

It really is quite touching. I haven’t seen something bring people together like the UnitedHealth CEO assassination since the release of Pokémon Go.

guess who’s getting coal in their stocking this year

biggest feature request for the @bsky.app team is the ability to turn off reposts, some folks love to share everyone else’s stuff which is great but i’m here for their thoughts

sometimes its easier to just ship the feature than write the reply saying why you've not done it yet

the best things start out with inquisitiveness i didn’t even consider doing software engineering as a career when i started building websites, just fell into it after tinkering with yet another side project

Jason Cohen@asmartbear.com

This is how Smart Bear started. It was a project to learn .NET (this was 2002) and to play with visualizations of version control history (just because I liked it). Turns out Code Review was the business (required a pivot), but started with a project.

It feels crazy to me that there's no TypeScript-native, local-first tool for testing LLM-powered apps. So, I'm building one. It's based on Vitest, and it's called Evalite. Here's an early preview. www.aihero.dev/evalite-an-e...
