Thread and video in case you've feeling the "Oh no! CodePen is going to be different!" feels. 2.0 can be almost identical to Classic, only dipping into new features when you're ready.

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

I've seen this image a hundred times in my life, and every time, I find names I'd swear I've never seen before.

Every pro-generative AI argument is this, but somehow sincere

Hey I get that people have short memories, but as a reminder: electing a moderate Dem not only didn't go great for us last time, but it actually pretty much paved the way directly to where we are now. So if you want to hand fascists their biggest win ever in 2032, by all means, elect Gavin Newsom.

To expand on this: an exploitative system *needs* to give ideas vastly undeserved importance, because an idea is the only thing an owner can claim to have that nobody else does. The idea becomes the justification for the exploitation. That's the cornerstone the whole thing is built on.

LinkedIn is really like "congratulate the most insufferable supervisor you've ever had on a new position where they'll inflict misery at an unprecedented scale"

One simple test to find out if you're a sociopath: 1) Do you ever talk on speakerphone in public? [End of test]

[Appearing in the past] Greetings primitive humans! We can beam video across the planet in seconds! We've taught computers to speak! We need no source of power but the sun! [Voice from the back] Can you make a live acoustic guitar not sound like shit? ... [Beams back to 2026] This fucking guy

Finished the Jokerless challenge in Balatro for the second time tonight. AMA

My son just read the part in Charlotte's Web where Charlotte died, for the first time ever, and did not even bat an eye. So now I'm googling how to know if your kid is a psychopath.

We heard you like waiting for build steps so we made waiting for build steps the entire thing engineers do now

As both a human being and a man who was there through both of my wife's labors, I'd like to sincerely wish every single man involved in this in even the most tangential way a very horrifically painful urethra parasite for every single second of the rest of your miserable existence.

You think "hell yeah, this lady is shredding," but you think that's all it's gonna be, and then she starts singing

When I was growing up, you could become an instant conservative Christian celebrity just by shouting wordplay like "A-R-T-I-S-T is just one I-N-C-H away from ANTICHRIST" and the intellectual depth has, if anything, severely decreased since then.

I can't stress this enough, do not host client work on Vercel. bsky.app/profile/konn...

It's been an honor to work with Yoshiya these last few years. Truly a great, thoughtful, engineer and any team would be lucky to have him.

Finally, a real use case for JavaScript

"You are the moderate man, the invaluable understrapper of the wicked man. You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right."

I have a joke about a failed HTTP request, but I don't think you'll get it and I can't post it anyway.

You might have noticed me sharing a lot of posts from ex-Deno folks. I'd unhesitatingly go to bat for, work with, or hire each and every one of my now-former colleagues in a heartbeat. To a person, these are brilliant, kind, thoughtful humans who are each exceptionally excellent at what they do.

Today is my last day with the Deno team 🦕💖💔 I know they're gonna keep making awesome things. But now *I* need to make awesome things for someone else! If you're looking for a DevRel with a JS focus and extra sparkle, get in touch!

Yesterday I updated my bio as I'm no longer with the #1 🦕-themed javascript company. I'm sad to go but excited to see what's next. I've spent the last few years designing exclusively in code, building agent skills, working on command-line tools, and crafting dev docs experiences. Hit me up.

You probably don't need me to tell you this, but one of the all-time greats just became a free agent and you're mismanaging your team if you're not seriously looking at how to sign him. 👇

Shamrocks for my real friends, real rocks for my sham friends

Does anarchism have an answer to social dilemmas? Because honestly that's the last thing preventing me from going full-blown card-carrying anarchist.

"Did you know that if you were in a fight with air, you would lose? Because you can't hurt air." —Wisdom from a first-grader

Being a worker under capitalism is basically getting yourself all slutty and standing out on a street corner until a VC dude rolls up and goes "do you love solving difficult challenges in a fast-paced environment?" and then you say "I'll love whatever you want for housing and healthcare, baby"

This is such important framing that often gets missed in this conversation. Crafters don't care just because they enjoy the process; they care because *the process matters* to the outcome.

There should be a term for when that giant package of some new food you decided to try from Costco turns out to be terrible, and now you're just trying to choke down enough of it that you don't feel too bad about throwing the rest away along with your money.

I hate how every talk, presentation, class, and blog post having to do with the web eventually has a moment where it needs to go "ok, you're probably thinking 'this is awesome,' and it is! But there's a reason you should stop being so excited, and that reason is: Safari. Apple hates this."

Me: God, please show me how I fit into your plan. God: Oh I have no idea, bro. I just had AI do it all for me. Me: You... You had AI... God: Make the universe, yeah. The whole thing. Me: ... God: ... Me: ...Well I guess that kinda explains some things. God: Oh yeah, no, totally.

Republicans: "Our platform is literally racism, sexism, and indiscriminate violence. We are actively dismantling democracy, gleefully committing war crimes, and shamelessly pumping our personal bank accounts full of your tax dollars." Democrats: "speaking of pumps: boy, those gas prices, huh?"

My job as a stripper is really taking off.

Chaser to the previous post: A new study last month "found that 32.7% of organisations that conducted AI-led layoffs had already rehired between 25% to 50% of the roles they initially let go. Another 35.6% said they had already rehired more than half of the roles…" www.hcamag.com/us/specializ...

Had to write a thing just for the people claiming that you can make yourself immune to layoffs if you are agentic enough

The very first day of my son's spring break aaaaaand he's up all night throwing up 🫠

Not mad exactly, but a while back, I shared a heartwarming animal story from a podcast in one of those "things suck; let's post positive things!" threads. The only replies were dudes asking for sources, and scolding me for sharing unverified info. Absolute 10/10 quintessential Bluesky experience.

I love CSS scroll-driven animations so much, for so many reasons. It's just so satisfying testing how a page loads without JavaScript, and seeing it all animate exactly the same as it did before.

If I save 30 minutes of work every day because of AI, but I ALSO spend an hour a day waiting on GitHub to load because of AI, is that good? Am I doing it?

I don’t think we talk enough about how the foundational, most aspirational premise of the AI industry is “what if there was a human-level intelligence that didn’t have human rights.” Like. Exploitation is literally the whole point! Of COURSE they hold human life, intelligence and labour in contempt!

Six months ago, agents were noticeably better at using popular tech. Now they just need pointing at some good docs and they'll do fine.

"Junior and mid-level engineers will now require more senior engineers to sign off any AI-assisted changes” This is the part that turns me into the Joker. They have outages, they're making more engineers spend time on reviews and STILL nobody's asking "is this actually a net productivity gain?"
