Please, web app developers, consider how your users will upgrade. If your upgrade process is "remove the old one, unzip the new one", then it's not an upgrade process. It's an encouragement to never upgrade.

Any time I see "bad" code, the first answer is usually "you need more precise and strict types."

Often there's other stuff wrong, but easily 70% of the time, the fix starts with "define the problem better and the problem goes away."

No, , this really is a gotcha, and a stupid one at that.

Remember: Every mile of land lost by this month to Russian invaders is the direct result of intransigence and refusal to stand by our allies just so they could make Biden look bad.

Every Republican legislator is a threat to national security. Every. Single. One. Treat them as such.

Detecting AI fakes is a losing battle.

Instead, we should assume everything is fake unless proven valid, using tools optimized for proving provenance. Anything else is at minimum suspect.

Silly me for thinking I couldn't find an ORM I dislike more than the ones I've used in . Then I found Spring Boot / JPA...

This article uses #React as it's main example, but it applies to #Laravel, #Tailwind, even #Drupal just a much. I say that as a recovering Drupal dev who used to use the standardization argument.

Greedy management is the reason we can't have nice things.

I just had an impressively pleasant customer service experience with @fastmail. Turns out it wasn't even their issue, but they responded quickly and in exactly the level of detail I needed.

It's so sad that it's so uncommon that it's worth tooting about...
