On the right tool for the job. Karl Koch answers the question “how do you work”. Short version: it depends. I like the part about having to steer the tools a lot.

Duckduckgo has a survey for pro/anti-AI and I cackled so hard at the (current) results https://voteyesornoai.com

my code is always perfect it’s the computer, text editor, language and browsers that are wrong

If you don’t put proper guardrails on your AI, this is what happens

I’ve felt this way about him for years. His “genius” is all just bravado and arrogance.

Just wow. Looks like Zuck really is head-deep inside Trump’s a** now. He really is just another spineless billionaire. Shouldn’t have expected more of him. And won’t ever again.

the most appropriate time to use scroll jacking is never

The Halo Effect and Stick To Your Guns records dropped today. Stoked. Let’s go!

AI, in its current state, is essentially a rehashed version of QnA if we’re completely honest with ourselves.

It’s so sad to see what’s happening with all these skate shoe brands just selling out and pushing out all the skaters who helped grow and keep them relevant. I get they might have been losing money, but damn. People buy shoes to support the rider, or at least they used to…

Schrödingers documentation: If there are docs, noone will read them. If there are no docs, everyone will complain.

I remember getting this and absolutely loving it. Best Christmas present ever back when it first dropped. Such a simple and minimal design, but it encouraged me to listen to songs without knowing what was coming next, so I’d typically avoid skipping them and just bask in the randomness.

If the Zoom rebrand solves anything, it should be saving us the precious minutes when people say “can you see my screeeeen?” still.

Writing Tools API when?

Enjoyable read as always from Arun’s blog.

Decided to chuck up an actual blue sky from golden hour yesterday as my banner image on here because, y’know, “design”.
