X cancel is gone, so i guess I'm completely done with that shit corner of the internet.

lol i mean, this is a lot software nowadays and it's massively concerning when you think about it... but also lol tipiirai.com/writing/bun-...

No matter how many instructions or skills I give Claude, it cannot seem to figure out how to test what matters, and instead constantly tests implementation details. It's almost like it was trained on a bunch of data with tests that checked unimportant implementation details.

Comments on Theo's video about AI text watermarks are ridiculous. What the hell could you possibly have against AI watermarks? Is it your explicit goal to deceive people??

my employer has asked me to stop responding to requests with “light work for a beast like me”

This is essentially the entire AI bubble: "If it were opt-in, nobody would opt-in." The tech industry is deeply unhealthy when this is accepted as normal, and clearly these people feel no shame about it. Let's push back and show them the cost of being this anti-consumer.

Saber Interactive has denied renewed claims that it replaced a former Lead Writer so it could “use ChatGPT” in the development of the recently announced title, Rideshare “Stimulator.” In a statement to PC Gamer, Saber also acknowledged previously undisclosed genAI use elsewhere in the title.

<input type="checkbox" switch> is coming to Chromium-based browsers! My team is currently adding the implementation at chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/s...

I write my code by hand, because the effort involved gives the code value to me. It's cared for and loved, the result of effort. It's a meaningful experience. I embrace the toil. jola.dev/posts/no-cos...

No cost, no value

Why generating code makes it meaningless, why writing code by hand has value, and why toil is a critical part of the human experience.

jola.dev

the focus on whether you read the code or not is the wrong thing to look at if you have software you're responsible for, you should be able to answer questions from memory about how it works the expectations for how well you can do this should not be any different now

When you scroll a 2D scroller on the web, the browser may ignore some minor scroll deltas in the non-main scrolling axis when the user’s intent was to scroll only one axis. Sometimes this “railing” gets in the way … and with `scroll-axis-lock: none`, you can soon remove it 😊 brm.us/scroll-axis-...

If AI really makes developers anywhere near 10x more productive, the notable absence of any significant new or improved products would suggest maybe developers have never been as singularly important to the process of making ideas successful as developers have enjoyed the privilege of believing.

I honestly think AI would be like 50–80% less popular if men already gave compliments to each other and didn't need a machine to do it.

they should make tech jobs that aren't about AI

Big news today: GERMAN COURT RULES AI MUSIC FIRM SUNO BROKE COPYRIGHT RULES Suno "has to provide information on illicit revenue", and "will have to pay damages". Wow. www.reuters.com/world/german...

Any sufficiently advanced capitalism is indistinguishable from a pyramid scheme.

EA’s CEO got an $8 million raise thanks to how well Battlefield 6 performed — four months after the devs responsible for making the game got laid off. https://t.co/KZKhVBOL6O

so, for reasons ... I decided to try something 👀 👉 it's a skill that helps AI agents talk to humans if that's relevant to you, please let me know how you find it 🙏 ... and please help me make it better!

I'm announcing Byte Binding—a modern, accessible, and powerful EPUB editor. This is for every author who's tired of errors when uploading their books to storefronts. For every creative soul who wishes their editor could do more. Because your digital books deserve better.

My experience with agents is that it doesn't make my work "faster". In the end it costs roughly the same amount of time, if not longer But my role has shifted from "builder" to "sculptor", which is a completely different job. I hated it at the very beginning tbh, but I'm getting better at it slowly

New demo: Animated CSS Grid Layout. codepen.io/bramus/pen/o... Here’s the thing: No View Transitions. No JS at all. Instead, it uses Anchor Positioning to anchor the cell contents to the cell. Then, CSS transitions are used to animate the contents to their new location as the grid re-layouts.

UX = user experience DX = developer experience EX = executive experience guess which one is most responsible for the growth in AI usage?
