"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Back in the 2000s, Orkut was the biggest social network in Brasil, but their DM system was unusable. People started using their testimonials feature (think LinkedIn recommendations, but for praising your friends) as a message system, since the request itself was private.

a required skill for being able to use an LLM in any professional capacity is discernment, essentially already being an expert in the field so you know when (and why) its outputs are incorrect. now, LLMs are being deployed to non-expert groups in a way that ensures they will never *be* experts

You're mad because you expect a "software update" to make things work better. You will only be free when you understand this to be an illusion and accept the fact that software is suffering

I'll say it again: It is a genuinely hard problem to train a robot to wash dishes, cook food, or do laundry. These tasks all require complex embodied forms of intelligence we don't understand. Compared to that, writing passable code or generating meh prose is incredibly easy for a computer to do.

I put together a detailed collection of useful patterns I've collected after vibe-coding 150 different single-file HTML tools over the past couple of years simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/10/...

MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each. Scratch off the protective coating on the back and tell me the fifteen digit redemption codes. Hurry

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Any product designers looking for work right now? I got a role open near me: job-boards.greenhouse.io/launchdarkly...

I’m often asked for freelance UI/UX designer recommendations, but my list is out of date — most folks I used to refer are now full-time or doing other work. Time to fix that. If you’re an independent UI/UX designer doing hands-on client work, drop your website/portfolio! DM/email fine too. [1/2]

Sometimes you’ve gotta let @rafa.design roll out the green screen and talk about his favorite Sketch updates. Is it entertaining? Yes. Is it informative? Yes. Will we be asking him again? Absolutely.

This thing where we engaged in commerce once and now you get to email me for the rest of my life needs to stop.

Hey all, I'm seeking a new job. 👋 If you have any leads or connections 👉 that would be much appreciated. More details of what I'm looking for in the attached screenshot with alt text as that would be too long for a post.

Really wild situation here: a celebrated and well-regarded indie dev and publisher is facing shutdown because Valve banned their game from Steam and won't talk to them about it, at all. www.ign.com/articles/uns...

Kickstart the flywheel, Shinji. Or Rei will have to operationalize our core competencies again.

A friend of mine has early access to cutting edge corporate jargon, I heard the phrase "let's double-click on that" from him long before anywhere else. I asked him what's new these days and he says it's "the shark closest to your body" for the most urgent issue.

My phone has full optical character recognition of 47,000 photos. I can search individual words. I cannot search three words in quotes. Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests. And now we have this.

When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Ngl, seeing my team’s work on stage at @github.com Universe makes me so happy 🥹🫰

The cat's out of the bag: GitHub's new home dashboard is on public preview. You now can see your issues, PRs and agent tasks in customizable lists right from the dashboard! Super proud of our work here, it was a lot of fun to design and ship this with the team ⚡ github.blog/changelog/20...

Another new experiment: a clock. A great clock because it doesn't care how you hold it. It levels itself. A bad clock, because it breaks easily. Shake it and the hands will drop down by gravity. The best part... you can set the time by just moving the hands and give them a little sweep.

Every ai video sucks because they’re never more than their prompts, you’re like ‘yeah that’s a video of a dinosaur eating chips whilst skateboarding,” but like that’s it - you could just post your prompt and it’d be the same. But every real piece of film contains MORE than just its script

Finally listened to The Life of a Showgirl and like... It might not be a groundbreaking album, but it's the bread and butter pop that half of her discography consists of lol 🤷‍♀️
