If a tech bro says they're 'empowering artists' what they actually mean is 'replace artists'.

so when a project has a CLAUDE.md and then sneakily removes it with an underhanded commit message, how are we feeling about that

gonna be working on these 32 bars for the rest of my life probably

can't get over a rando submitting a vibecoded PR for a project recently which garnered the following: "22 out of the 6k lines changed by this PR seem to be the actual fix. The rest of it included 2k lines of markdown, 1.5k lines of bash and a new crate with tests that (mostly) don't test anything"

i'm going to fight whoever at google implemented this

fellow mechanical keyboard nerds: does anybody else hate linear switches? i just cannot get used to them

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

California zephyr and empire builder are well worth the sleeper car accommodation price

incredible. if you can go to any of these shows, you need to.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

This week, I resigned from my position as Director of IT/Tech at an org I truly believed in. I wanted us to stop using Generative AI and was told no. This thread will explain my decision and why I believe this is a true crisis. I hope ya see this and if you want to chat, + or -, lets do it 1/

if you wanna connect struggles, the current anti-trans wave, like the anti-gay-marriage wave before it, are also many of the same religious groups and psychiatric guys who helped cover up the high profile Catholic priest child sexual assault cases in the 2000s

minimeters is one of those genius utilities that it's hard to believe didn't exist beforehand, and on top of that joe absolutely nailed the execution. phenomenal engineering. a steal at $20, well worth the purchase several times over.
