Bluesky is a great app but only when you use its best feature: the block button.

Sure, Claude makes every website look the same but so did Bootstrap 3 in 2015

I think this is a really good example of how “personal-use” things AI can be extremely good at and, without it, probably wouldn’t exist otherwise. Creating hyper-tailored things for super specific purposes is feasible now.

New recycling bin came in a box. Took the recycling bin out of the box. Put the box in the recycling bin.

It is a little spark of joy every time I find I’m working with Python version π (3.14)

I think we’re losing the plot with command line software. The goal isn’t to recreate a GUI with a blocky terminal aesthetic, it’s to embrace the “universal interface” of text streams.

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

I wish people would stop looking at AI as an in-group shibboleth and instead as a social and political problem to be solved. Yes, slurping up everyone’s intellectual property was evil, so what do we do about it now? Call it even after the lawsuits work themselves out? Nationalize the training data?

It’s already one. There is more open corruption in Trump’s America than I experienced in the most corrupt governments in Nigeria’s history.

Please tell me that restaurants and food trucks that use AI-generated pictures of food aren’t doing well. I cannot fathom wanting to eat somewhere based off of genuinely unappetizing fake pictures of food keywords.

I think my favorite software ever made has to be Vim. I use it constantly for everything.

🎉 After 2 years of building it off and on, my side project app is done: Habik: Life Manager! The premise is that you can do hard things. Break them down, and take them one day at a time. Habik takes the guesswork (and the self-negotiation) out of what to do today. apps.apple.com/us/app/habik...

Not sure which vision insurance plan I should sign up for: Choice, Signaure, Select, Choice Plus or Advantage. Actually, I’ll just go blind.

My job has an old codebase that uses Playwright for testing. I went to read the documentation and frankly I don’t recognize my profession any more.

america is an ideal worth fighting for

more websites should be like this

It would be so simple to change the laws so I don’t have to do my taxes by hand but instead we’ve spent billions to automate the notoriously disliked process of… writing and recording music.

Chrome shipped an LLM Prompt API to the web platform. At Mozilla, we oppose this API. Here's why:

I successfully ignored crypto and NFTs, I'm thinking I might just wait until this AI coding thing just blows over… larsfaye.com/articles/age...

backslash undoubtedly the worst character of all time. absolute diva of a symbol aaalways needs some kind of special treatment. super toxic vibes

This article about canceling promises in JavaScript was wild. Advanced JS like this is so cool to me. Didn’t know `FinalizationRegistry` was a thing. www.inngest.com/blog/hanging...

Yet another thinkpiece about LLMs. Worth the read. "The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing." arxiv.org/abs/2602.10181

Just used `var` in JavaScript because it was the best option… feels like I just saw a unicorn.

Delusional psychopaths

Tried vibe coding and now I’ve got a large codebase neither I nor this software I paid $10 to use understands

Made the switch from Nginx to Caddy a while ago and very happy with the results. My rec: the docs over-complicate things. skip the API and JSON. Just edit one system-wide Caddyfile and restart the service via systemctl.

So a lot of the hype around LLMs and a lot of the userbase just fundamentally misunderstands what the technology is and what it’s capable of, instead treating it like a mythical supernatural or religious being. The industry openly encourages this delusion for profit

Does he have to give back the FIFA Peace Prize now

A great time to revisit the “Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names,” (and it’s absolutely not limited to programmers!) www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/f...

One of the all-time greatest books in the CompSci cannon. Can’t wait for the update! 😍

“We must abolish ICE and the entire DHS. We must proclaim a general amnesty to all undocumented immigrants currently residing in America. We must decriminalize unauthorized immigration. And we must enshrine freedom of movement in the constitution.” www.liberalcurrents.com/abolition-am...

I hope the history books refer to this new era of Trump’s economic ruin as “The Greatest Depression”

Over a decade of frameworks desperate trying to compete with ExpressJS and nobody’s even come close. I love it.

Thinking about this graph a lot, showing how LLMs have essentially killed Stack Overflow traffic and, I'd extrapolate, most other coding forums like it. So what will happen in the future? When new libraries, languages and frameworks are released but without these sites for the LLMs to train on?

The Internet is like a dying mall.
