Turning bad news into motivation, set a new personal best at parkrun this morning 😈
I’m exploring the mental health effects of AI coding. This is a super quick (blazing fast), anonymous survey. Please fill out and share so that the responses will be well rounded. forms.gle/dpD8Tk1QnXAz...

I'm looking for a new role as a lead frontend/TypeScript engineer. 👋 13 years of experience and I formerly led the web team at Unsplash. My CV: drive.google.com/file/d/1Hp7w... If you know of any roles, please reach out. I'd really appreciate if you could share. Thank you!
I'm so burnt out from AI era velocity, slop posts, bots and the attention economy, that I've recently got a balance phone. It's black & white, doesn't allow social, and has reduced motion on by default. It's wonderful. But actively avoiding being online does leave me feeling weird about my job.
@acemarke.dev Crazy idea but I wonder if it would make sense to have a compiler for selectors that automatically memoizes, like how React Compiler. So you don't have to manually optimize e.g. with `createSelector`. Is this something you've thought about before?
@en-js.bsky.social 👋 If you were building an SPA today in React (e.g. a dashboard), how would you do state management? Imagining that much of the state needs to be shared by many components. Context + React Compiler? 1 or many useSyncExternalStores? State library? Etc.

I'm just so bored of AI
I'm just so bored of talking about AI. It's like listening to vapers tell me how delicious their flavoured poison is. Did you ever meet someone at university who'd just tried drugs for the first time? Listening to a stoner ramble on about their mystic crystal revelations is amusing for the first five minutes, but quickly gets tiresome. Wow! You got your little computer friend to automate calling …

The problem with being a person who is good at something like content operations, is that if I do my job well, everything runs smoothly and my work is invisible. I'm not particularly career-minded, and just like things to be good, but I wish for this type of impact was more valued.
When I struggle to structure my thoughts about what's happening I turn to writing. Today about the recent US Anthropic ban news, what it says about power and dependency, and what it should mean for Europeans and citizens of the world. It's a long one. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/6/13/am...

Where’s the holistic AI productivity data?
For most of my career I ran a very small company. When you run a tiny company your resources (both time and money) are limited, and you want to use them on the things that will have the most impact. You have to quickly stop doing things that aren't cost-effective, to avoid "throwing good money...

i wrote a post about the growing divide between AI skeptics and AI enthusiasts. wins and costs are both real, but too often fall on different groups of people. when you're only experiencing half the story, it's too easy to write each other off. charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/ai-enthusi...
AI enthusiasts are in a race against time, AI skeptics are in a race against entropy
Both sides are grappling with a real existential threat, and both sides feel like they are screaming into the void. Here's how to close the gap and get everyone pulling in the same direction.

@ped.ro 👋 I love floating notes in Raycast, but I'm constantly confused as to what has focus: - When notes has focus, cursors still appear in other applications. - When notes has focus, the menu bar isn't dimmed so it looks like another app is focused. I'm curious if this has come up before?
AI has meant prolific CLIs now ship updates daily, which leads to update fatigue. if you have a CLI telling me every single day that my CLI is out of date, you're doing something wrong leave me alone or update in the background
They should just take that co-authored by Claude bullshit off It’s not like my code before was co-authored by VS code or eslint
Tonight in the ai reading group i was reminded of something that happened in 2006 after I dropped out of college, when I was living in a run-down old house next to jb alberto's in rogers park with a bunch of dudes. it was, as you can imagine, not clean.

What AI is doing to the jobs of programmers feels very familiar to a lot of us frontend developers – because it has happened to us before.

AI is doing to programming what framework-brain did to the frontend before. Deskilling, or just working at a higher level of abstraction?

Check out this productivity hack I just unlocked! Instead of jumping right into building the thing, you first write some stuff down about the thing. Bullet points ideally. Then you send that "plan" to people (yes! slow, human brains) and they give you feedback. Bullet points ideally. 1/3
@tkdodo.eu 👋 I’m curious what your go-to solution is for global UI/client state manangent in React. Perhaps Zustland judging by your blog? Trying to pick what to use alongside React Query for the new GitButler SPA.
Today was my 100th #parkrun! 🎉 Love this event. Cheers to all the volunteers who make it possible.
