Keep your eyes open tomorrow, Monday 1st September, at 3pm BST, especially if you live in the UK. We’re about to drop one of the biggest announcements of our career so far… 👹 👁️ 🔥

the "developers embrace AI or get out" rhetoric is so weak produce a product that's actually good and ethical then maybe we'll be more on board sure some devs are finding AI useful, but using it to gate keep? nah man find another way to make the needle move, bro

Nobody: Adrian: LP time! It's been a while, hasn't it?

just a few more billion bro. its cool bro we just need a nuclear power plant. just a few more gpts bro, only a few more

What LLM boosters promise: a future where AI takes care of menial chores, and you can spend more time with loved ones What the product actually does: talk to your loved ones for you so that you can focus on your menial chores

You're so close

This is very good. www.404media.co/the-medias-p...

This will become more and more common — framework reliance-based problems were a big part of my CSS consulting — but I worry it’ll be too late for a lot of people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

adrian.married = true; 😊😍

put some thoughts together on the LLM trend and its implications for labor rights. there's a lot to be said about the lofty claims of pro-LLM technologists, but this presumes their promises of efficiency, etc. are true. henry.codes/writing/econ...

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

Face status: Still Melted 🫠

I found it! Highgate Cemetery is hauntingly beautiful! Also checked out a few other @greenlungband.bsky.social - related spots like Helgi’s and The Black Heart. Whenever I need ideas for hidden gems in London, I just read a interview with Green Lung band members😄

Last week I saw Crypta live in London 🤘 Face status: Melted 🫠

Good to hear AI will help me reduce my carbon footprint, as I've been running my microwave for 19 hours a day for the last three years and have yet to receive a single video of a dog speaking Spanish.

We’re trying a rather radical new approach at Piccalilli by doing real world projects — for real clients — in the open. This gives us a context to provide genuine high quality, real world education for free at the point of entry.

@greenlungband.bsky.social Went for a forest walk with my fiancee - the shirt she chose couldn’t have been more perfect for it 💚

For years, one of the most befuddling things for me in CSS was how “height: 100%” would sometimes just not work. Every time I tried to use it was a roll of the dice. 😅 Like everything else in CSS, though, it all makes perfect sense when we understand the underlying mechanism. ✨ Let’s explore. 🧵

AI is speeding up software development—but at what cost? We're losing the struggle, the context, the joy. Not every shortcut is progress. Read it here: danielphilipjohnson.hashnode.dev/dont-rob-you...

"AI is the future" is not a statement of fact or a prediction, but rather an ideological statement. Big tech is invested in making AI the future, at any cost. LinkedIn (where over half of the posts are now AI) is doing its small part by deboosting AI-critical posts. www.linkedin.com/posts/albert...

all day every day, lately

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LoTR)

I've been diving into Blazor and C# over the past two weeks to prep for my next project. Starting to wonder if the paradigm shift is big enough that I’ll start forgetting the React & TS way of thinking.

I haven't really done a proper Friday Shop Plug this week, but here's a picture of me in the back garden just now holding up my Queen of the Field lino print, that'll do, right..? 👁️ slipperyjack.bigcartel.com

Little gentle reminder to all the human creatives out there 💪

Wish I had more empty walls in my apartment - I've got so many awesome band posters that need to be on display. @greenlungband.bsky.social takes the center stage with "Black Harvest" which is my favorite alongside the original 1989 Headless Cross poster. I need more Green Lung posters in my life 😊

every day the CSS spec moves closer to supporting the Persona 5 menu while web design ethos moves further away from it

I might start working on a Blazor project this month. I've been (re)learning C# and getting up to speed with Blazor. Anyone got any tips? 😅 Am I in for a fun ride or a frustrating one? I am working on a Mac, but using JetBrains Rider. Hot-reload is buggy and randomly decides not to work. 😭

Quite embarrassing for our first BlueSky post to be about socks, but we keep getting asked so… here is your warning that the socks are now available to preorder at greenlung.co.uk, in white and black varieties 🙌 (Tour tees too, but we know the socks are all you really care about)

Stop 👏 taking 👏 AI 👏 advice 👏 from 👏 AI 👏 CEOs.

📝 New Blog Post: Poisoning Well I have started publishing nonsense content on my blog, to mess with LLM crawlers. Here is the article, all about it: heydonworks.com/article/pois... And here is the nonsense companion article, all about *whatever*: heydonworks.com/nonsense/poi...

One of my all-time favorite bands, Green Lung, has officially left Twitter and made the jump to Bluesky! Check out their music and give them a follow 💚🤘 I hope more bands follow suit and ditch the toxic hellhole that Twitter has become. bsky.app/profile/gree...

@greenlungband.bsky.social Welcome, guys! Happy to see you here! I've made an unofficial fan page for you guys few weeks back thehorns.club/bands/green-...

The Sentiment Bot doesn’t seem to appreciate my baking recipes 😭 I’m just out here spreading positivity!

Not sure why I'm not feeling the urge to write the obligatory "What I learned about project management from planning my wedding" post for LinkedIn. Am I just not hustling or grinding hard enough?! 😱

Just another cursor rule will fix it! Just one more!

Check out Green Lung on The Horns Club 🤘 A force of nature known for their unique blend of doom, prog, and British folklore, captivating audiences with their heavy, myth-inspired sound. thehorns.club/bands/green-...

I love web development and working on personal projects because I can create lush and fun stuff like this! ☺️ Green Lung’s page is live on thehorns.club with a cool animation that hides the blur-up effect on the background image! 💚 And a little goaty boi easter egg 🐐

First time making cream cheese filled rolls. Super delicious with some yogurt 😋

Dunsmuir is one-off project by a doom and stoner metal supergroup formed by members of Clutch, Black Sabbath and Fu Manchu. A fantastic concept album about the supernatural fates of the survivors of a 19th century shipwreck. A true hidden gem of stoner doom metal. thehorns.club/bands/dunsmuir

The 🤘 Club is such a refreshing project. It gives me complete freedom to let loose and break away from day-to-day UI patterns, designs and create something amazing. I'm already half-way through creating a page for the next band. Can you guess which one?

Check out Sorcerer - a Swedish heavy and doom metal powerhouse that conjures epic, crushing riffs and fuses them with dark, atmospheric melodies. thehorns.club/bands/sorcerer

I created a Facebook page for The Horns Club because bands mostly use them for promotion and it's easier to communicate that way. However, the unfiltered Facebook feed of a freshly-created page is absolutely disgusting slop-shoveling attention-seeking clickbait hell. I hate it.

I'm getting married in a few months ☺️

Crypta is Brazilian death metal powerhouse, delivering bone-crushing riffs while exploring profound & dark themes. They're one of the first bands featured on my newly launched project The 🤘 Club thehorns.club/bands/crypta
