look. is everything more expensive now? yes. but you have to look on the bright side too. now every time you open a computer, it doesn't work

I'm so tired of being expected to read things that no one has bothered to write.

This account is one of the most joyful things I have ever seen. The best morning rush hour. Can highly recommend.

I really have to ask, what's up with the "invalid handle" thing on bsky? It almost seems like some sort of shadow ban or something.

This is some people's idea of intelligence.

So why do “AI” companies have employees or bosses?

We made a fake repo with fake bounties, and the bots are applying fake PRs, so we know who is fake, and we can ban them from the Coolify repo. IQ over 1000

Today's Daily Cartoon for @newyorker.com by Kevin Maher and me.

The Metaverse is here to stay. We need to stop fearmongering about the Metaverse and start finding the ways that the Metaverse can be used ethically and to support our causes. Naysayers need to realize that this technology is inevitable.

Remind Me Never

watching the tech industry burn out all the people i know who actually care about delivering things that aren’t perpetually broken, all at the altar of infinite velocity, is making me utterly utterly furious.

I really don't want to hear about anymore contributions to the web from Google. They are not good stewards no matter the good-intentioned people they funnel their features through.

Will try to do a complete* de-Google this summer.

if you’re feeling depressed about the AI changes announced by Google yesterday, let me bring some comfort: some of us are still trying to build AI-free products, and as long as there’s people willing to take the fight, there’s hope 🔥 No opt-in, no opt-out, no nonsense. NO AI.

The S in NPM is for security.

Calling this the “rats and sinking ships” moment for AI. This is when you watch people jump from company to company to whoever is subsidizing that day until there’s nobody left

✍️ New Article: Better fluid sizing with round() I wrote about how CSS round() enhances the values you get from clamp() in sizing, typography, and spacing. Why it matters, and how to use it. 🔗 ishadeed.com/article/css-round

if you have made your whole thing that you are no longer writing code yourself, nobody should listen to what you have ever said about programming. that includes the books you wrote before this new and exciting direction you have chosen

the generational de-skilling is almost the entire point of this technology. its architects are very open about wanting to bring about a new feudal order, with themselves as its barons.

We are in big trouble that there is a generation who are not troubleshooting junior entry level tasks in literally any industry using their own brain So if they can’t do junior stuff, how will we get middleweights. And if we don’t get middleweights, we never get anyone who knows what they’re doing

Very illuminating thread. However you feel about the “power of AI coding models” or whatever, I think it’s important to see that across the board there’s a trend of software deteriorating across the board. It’s good to talk about it! It’s not complaining. We are the customer.

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

Aah, I love this slop-coded future when software never works.

Every layoff press release contains these points: - we're firing a bunch of staff - so that we can go faster - and have higher quality - using new tools that are kinda shit and it keeps making stonks go up so I guess those are still the magic words! Joke economy.

7 months to go

At this point, we should be designing/engineering with the lowest amount of tech or code possible to meet a goal. Instead, it feels like we are forcing the highest tech solutions into problems that do not require them. It's frankly embarrassing. Sometimes the right solution is the low tech one.

Timeline cleanse!

The problem with Silicon Valley is that you eventually run out of other people's data.

A true expert knows when to say “I don't know"

Once again it's been proving to me that reading the docs helps. At least when you know where to look.

Jeez, things are not great inside Google www.linkedin.com/posts/amshal...

I'm starting to wonder if it was a mistake giving my parents' generation access to smartphones.

I DO NOT WANT TO 'CHAT WITH MY FILES'

Ah, the good old "figuring out the bug right after shutting down for the day"

Idea: A service that tells you when GitHub is up

Oh good I’m glad GitHub is addressing their urgent issues by (checks notes) …doing layoffs again today

Mom! Mom! Mom! Ah!

It's a bit sad how excited I can get for just minor improvements to software these days. It's just become so rare with updates that actually make things better.

I just used Figma for the first time in a while, and I have to admit they've actually improved it quite a bit.

TIL crows only *look* black to us — they’re actually very colorful in ways human eyes are unable to perceive. 🤯 Remember that next time people can’t see your “colors”. Some colors just require different eyes.

There's some unbelievably good tools in this collection and there are loads to choose from. Our favourite is the simple font file explorer. tools.rmv.fyi

Fast or good. You can't have both. #webcomics #comicsky

UX/UI is pronounced yooks yooey

zoom, enhance

It's funny how Silicon Valley use FOMO to keep users coming back, but keep falling for FOMO themselves all the time.

microsoft may actually have managed mismanage github so badly that it loses its effective monopoly despite none of its aspiring competitors being remotely prepared to replace it. incredible

There's a software development metaphor somewhere in here
