Responding with just "read the FAQ and search for duplicates" to 30% of incoming GitHub issues and seeing how long it takes for me to get fired

Screencap from dontpastetheai.com

When someone asks you something, they want your answer. Not a wall of unedited ChatGPT output. A short reply from you beats a long one from a model, every time.

What's happening
Someone asked you a real question. You popped it into a chatbot, copied the answer, and sent it back. It felt fast. It felt helpful. And it usually isn't.

The person on the other side has the same tools you do. If they wanted the generic answer, they would have gotten it in four seconds. They asked you because they wanted your take on it... Your context, your taste, your judgement.

The world is filled with people that don't want to read or think about things, don't be one of them.

Remember that an LLM is basing the solutions on the most common patterns within the data it was trained on. Expert humans within a field often have the better answers.

If I ask a question within a forum for humans and you respond with "<chatbot> said this: ..." I will get offended. I could have asked an llm directly (or maybe I already did) but instead I choose to ask professional humans about it. It's just the same a responding "google it". Please stop

People won't push back because their friends are there. In some cases a large important part of their life is there. This is why capitalism in the current form isn't working for social media. We live on a bunch of autocracy islands and we are too afraid to leave.

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.

Cache Components surface errors as you build when something dynamic would block your shell, nudging you toward a more performant app. The shell loads instantly while dynamic parts stream, and on this demo every route lands in the green. We're working hard to make them easier to adopt!

My React Summit talk is up: What RSCs Can Do in Next.js Today. To show it, I built a music player, open source and deployed on an early preview of Next.js 16.3. 🎵 next-beats.dev Watch the talk for the full walkthrough, and check the key patterns in code below ↓ gitnation.com/contents/wha...

my humble opinion is that if people took the time to understand react server components, they would see that 90% of websites would net benefit from their architecture. you only have to learn how they work once. most of the cost is cognitive, not architectural.

Really fantastic writeup by @moh-kohn.eurosky.social about the power of HTML-first sites (and @astro.build!) My humble opinion is that 90% of websites don't need Next.js, React, or other hefty client-side frameworks—they just need static pages and the occasional form

I'm sorry but fuck off with this. There's only one way to distribute apps on iOS and if you don't get enough attention then you can't use it? If you think my toy app is a waste of your resources then I'll happily take another way to distribute my app.

[1/2] I don't normally make commentary videos, but after seeing the entirety of Eric Schmidt's University of Arizona commencement speech, I felt like there was a lot more going on than just "CEO mentions AI, gets booed". So I made a video to explain what upset me about it.
