Another banger from tech's design flop era

yeah i work at google. im the guy who's job is to make all the icons uglier and uglier- yeah no it's really fufilling, love my work. guy across the aisle from me is the person who makes you turn left unprotected instead of using a light with maps, he's kind of my idol.

oohhh, I like the VSCode theme update

The cheek of Next.js using a .org URL. "oohhhh, we're just a humble open source nonprofit!"

Anybody else just assume that Github was *already* using Copilot data to train its AI?

I could do with retiring the phrase "we are so back." Back from what? It's 2026. How many times are we going to be "back" before we're just here?

Don't know who needs to hear this but you don't have to grant Vercel's AI wider access to your Github account.

I mostly picked this up for the extremely metal side-of-a-van cover art only to discover it's also a really engaging piece of 70s fantasy

I genuinely love writing HTML. I love when the tags are perfectly nested. I love self-closing tags on a single line. I love writing <header class="global">

@bsky.app Where are we on a "mute reposts" feature?

Just tried to drop a WEBP image into a Google doc and got hit with an "unsupported image type" error. Sorry...Google doesn't...it doesn't support the image type that...that they invented?

I love coding articles that cause me to make that high-pitched "hmm!" noise

I'm technically exercising because I walked to the breakfast place instead of drove

ooohhhhh I like that you can highlight some text in CK Editor and CTRL+V a URL and it will auto convert it into a link

Damn you Indigo Girls making me feel ways about stuff
