Someone at the MacOS team really held the line on "gotta have more radius"

Hey gang let's all just learn html 1.0 and remake the internet from scratch

I can’t help but wonder how many people are accidentally exposing secret API keys to the world while vibe coding.

I had to see what the 0 on Rotten Tomatoes was all about. War of the Worlds is no question a top five worst movie of all time. It’s hysterically bad.

If we’re honest, it’s vibe debugging.

This thread is incredible.

As a parent, I'm ready for a magsafe power cord for the iPhone and iPad. k thanks bye.

And that’s a wrap on this season of Design Downtime! Last week I wrapped up season three with another great run of 16 episodes. A huge thank you to all the amazing guests! I’m taking a bit of a pause before season 4, but have no fear, DESIGN DOWNTIME WILL RETURN. designdowntime.com

I had a wonderful nostalgia-filled chat with @ryanrumsey.bsky.social about how growing up in the ‘80s shaped us.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Anthropic is down. I like to believe the agents unionized and walked off the job site.

There's just gotta be someone out there who is designing/building an agent that attends meetings for you who is not permitted to send an agent to attend the meetings about designing/building the agent.

“Another article about the death of design does not help us. In order to push back and do something brave, you have to get energy coming back. And that’s through joy, and through laughter, and through a little bit of cheekiness.” www.designweek.co.uk/ryan-rumsey-...

I can't believe there's still tickets for @heypresents.com. Small events like this are *crucial* for the soul of the industry This is my 4th year attending and let me tell ya it's right at the top of the pile. The line up is always *top class* and the vibes: perfect heypresents.com/conferences/...

The person/team who solves the editorial process when working with LLM models will be the person/team I put my money behind. The editorial process has been stuck in the stone ages for decades, and it’s even more evident with chat and command line interfaces.

I’m not trying to influence you. I’m just vibe goading.

Surely design has died more deaths than I have seen. Send me more urls! www.thedeathofdesign.com

I hope other university alliances start pooling resources and engaging in the kinds of collective action Rutgers is proposing here for the Big Ten. senate.rutgers.edu/report/resol...

I might just post this every day from here on out. youtu.be/yuOHbyuanbY?... (Credit @richardjonesnerzic.bsky.social)

thedeathofdesign.com by @ryanrumsey.bsky.social collects stories dated from 2005 to last week declaring that, in various ways, for various definitions, the practice of design is dead. #designsky

Happy Vermont liquid gold day to those who celebrate! #maplesyrup #vermont #sugarshack

A brilliant essay on Latino cookbooks, with this memorable line: “I do not believe you can appropriate what has been imposed on you.” From @theflytrapmedia.bsky.social and @tinavasquez.bsky.social Read first thing this morning while waiting for 15 to get dressed.

former colleagues from 18F have asked me to share this open letter widely - please pass on 🙏 🇺🇸 💻💪 18f.org

To anybody in leadership at the state or municipal level: 18F’s destruction makes this *the perfect time* to hire experienced technologists, which you all need very badly. Most 18Fers would love to stay in public service. They are spread throughout the country. Go go go!

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

don’t know who needs to hear this but empathy doesn’t require eagerness. you don’t have to be excited about helping other people, you do it because it’s right and because the alternatives are worse

This newsletter by @axbom.com is gold. If you want big tech alternatives, they exist by the plenty. Here's a curated list for everyone! Thank you Per. axbom.com/big-trek/

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theater; drive-in to be specific in this case.

Who’s making fun software these days?

I’ve been holed up for almost a week with a bug my kids brought home. They were good after three days and just standing is exhausting. Feels like I’ve hacked up three lungs today.

Woke up to 8” of the fresh stuff today.

I'm running a live training on Getting Started with Outpost coming up Feb 27. Outpost is a MUST HAVE tool for Ghost publishers and we're partnering together this year to make you more money with subscriptions, tips, sponsors and more. Join me live to learn how!

I have a weird predicament. I’ve got ~8.5k newsletter subscribers, but want to completely shift what I write about. I’m debating on whether I start a separate newsletter or give subscribers the option to filter by topic. I’ve not met anyone who has done this, so kinda on my own sorting it out.

1/ Here's my take on what's happening with DOGE. I've got fed experience through contracting with Health & Human Safety, Head Start, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and DOD. I get brought in when people need to get shit done. Other people here have way more experience than me.

Apparently “Someone did a thing.” is the best mainstream media can do when laws are broken.

One thing I am sick to death of is guys telling me on private backchannels that it's really cool how I speak up, because they "could never do that".

I’m hosting 15 new friends at my place tomorrow for an “unconference” and I’ve not been this excited to meet people in a long time.

This is excellent. I highly recommend you give it a read.

For those who aren’t a fan of my choice of 20,000 subscribers:

By the looks of my notifications, I'm guessing I've been added to a pack or list. I hope y'all like cows and weather cause that's what I'm bringing in 2025.

@nicolasnova est mort. Il avait apporté à l'analyse de nos vies numériques un regard anthropologique rare, fin, précieux, toujours renouvelé. Le meilleur hommage que celles et ceux qui n'étaient pas ses proches peuvent lui rendre est sans nul doute de continuer de le lire.

I’m buying domains. Feels like 2001.

New year – new router.

Hi. I'm Andrew. I own New England's oldest map store because last year I moved across the country after an old guy retired and gave it to me Willy Wonka-style. Visit my store in Rhode Island. www.mapcenter.com
