It can often be very helpful to learn from folks in other programming communities. For example, something Rubyists know that JS/TS folks could learn is to not pay any attention to what DHH has to say.

The first two "screens" of trying to read an article titled "We used to get excited about technology. What happened?"

THIS. THIS HAPPENED.

A browser showing an article titled "We used to get excited about technology. What happened?" The bottom half is covered by a modal that says "this is your first complimentary article".

Flight delay due to a "seat duplication issue." I sure hope it's due to a confused person, but it's likely it's a software issue. It's difficult for me to imagine a reason they can't correctly write software that doesn't issue the same seat twice.

Just discovered that VS Code auto-imports of TypeScript types do not follow the recommendation to add the type keyword in front of it.

This reminds me of something, what was it…? Oh yeah, it reminds me of every other complaint I've made about VS Code over the years.

Reddit emailed me to let me know that they made some small updates their our Privacy Policy to make it clearer and more specific. Good to know it's just something minor and not something about the use of my data for totally new purposes that I might want to know about.

Do you think you could live with yourself if you were the developer who hard-coded the "Today only! 24-hour Flash Sale!" header message directly into Udemy's immutable static HTML?

The problem I have with the term "hallucinations" for LLMs is that it the metaphor suggests that sometimes it is not happening, but hallucinations are LLMs operating exactly the way they always do. If what they generate sometimes makes sense and corresponds to real facts, that's completely coincidental.

Network effect may be the reason that an open alternative to LinkedIn doesn't emerge. I don't care about seeing everyone's microblogs, but if I'm looking for a job or helping a friend get one, I want the biggest pool possible.

What open git platform do folks recommend? I'm tired of us getting screwed over by tech giants so looking into moving off of GitHub. I'd considered GitLab in the past but I'm not a fan of their AI focus and transmitting data from self-hosted installations to Microsoft. What are folks' experience with codeberg?

I probably need to do #100DaysToOffload, even though the name still bugs me.

The next time someone says the web is a bad app platform I'll say "yeah, you're right, I should use that other open-standard app platform that runs on all modern desktop, tablet, and mobile devices; remind me what that one is again?"

I'm hearing enough positives about codeberg, sourcehut, and gitea that it would be cool if anyone happened to have a good article/video comparing and contrasting them!

LLMs can't "know" things.

We know this, and yet we still act like they usually do.

So which of us is really "hallucinating"?

People on LinkedIn: "I can't believe I got laid off; I was working 60-80 hours per week."

Me: "Please start believing that a company that works you 60-80 hours per week is not going to prioritize your wellbeing."
