I asked ChatGPT whether using less Internet would be good, even though that includes it. Its answer is actually sharp: > A harsher point: if a tool is so available that you reach for it automatically, it starts shaping you. That includes me. (let's also appreciate the irony of what I just did)

if an app is completely crap -> it wasn't made by an AI if an app *looks* good but doesn't work properly -> chances are that it was made by an AI if an app looks good and works -> I don't care who/what made it, I'm happy

I'm gathering some ideas for an atproto talk - that means that before writing the actual talk, I'll make my own slides rendering engine why is overengineering so satisfying 🥲

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅 (BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.

We've been hard at work on a new website with new guides, better docs, more translations, even our very own blog. We think it looks pretty sharp, too. It's now easier than ever to just build things with AT Protocol. atproto.com

10% of my time spent understanding the statusphere #atproto example app 30% editing it to be a "polls" app 60% fighting kysely, typescript, node.js versions and weird errors
