The biggest issue is that they put the AI/HR filtering before the technical screening. I suspect it'd be a lot less painful if candidates were at least given the chance to show their tech skills before instantly filtered out by AI

It's all over a lot of niche subject areas and industries. Lots of mobile apps that go viral for a bit turn out to be AI coded, and there has been an explosion of vibe-coded software in the retrogaming scene (for mods, recomps, PC port

Not really, no. I'm not particularly motivated right now, but that's just more due to depression and burnout that the effects of AI. I don't tend to use AI for many of my own personal projects, but I also don't see it as

There's a lot of hatred for AI in these communities, to the point half of Twitter/Bluesky/Reddit goes ballistic when they learn the developer used Claude or Codex at some point. Media outlets and influencers are doing the sam

It's a great theory, though it doesn't seem as accurate nowadays. Now, even supposedly 'high-end' brands will be low-quality garbage hollowed out by private equity firms or other corporate acquisitions. We're not in

Is there a food and drink equivalent to this? Because my experience is that most popular brands in those industries have really gone downhill, and it'd be lovely to track which ones are even remotely edible anymore.

It really lost something when Chris Coyier stopped writing for it. He just had a way of writing fun and approachable tutorials for this stuff, and the other contributors didn't hit the same style. (no shade to Geoff Graham, he did good

I think one look at the flood of vibe-coded projects (like decomps, mods, etc) hitting the retrogaming scene now proves this article wrong already. You literally see a major project blow up in one day, then immediately get 'busted&#x27

Yeah, I think this is a bigger threat, at least for the moment. It's not automated systems causing havoc in themselves, it's hostile actors using tech to have outsized impacts on society. As you point out, AI lets criminals and ho

So media outlets, influencers, etc have something to link to, and a way to promote Twitter by including tweets in their articles. If it's public, people can link to it and promote the site. If it's not, then either info there does

They're still pretty limited in what they can achieve military wise, or how much impact they can have in the real world. Don't get me wrong, robotics is getting a lot more advanced, and in future something like a Terminator might

Yeah that's a fair point. Best practices and actual practices sadly don't seem to correlate that much in the real world. As far as security is concerned, things like hospital equipment, traffic control signalling systems, weapons

Well no and that's the problem. Many governments (especially the United States one) are complicit in this. They don't do nearly enough to keep corporate power in check. If they really wanted to fix these issues, antitrust could be

There is some really good advice here. Honestly, I think this might be one of the most important takeaways you can have as a startup founder/CEO in general: > It's exciting when you notice users "misusing" your produc

Frankly speaking, because no-one is forcing them to stop serving them. That's the biggest 'trick' companies like Google have pulled here. They've somehow tricked the regulators into thinking that because they're big

No, but it's killing a lot of 'glue pieces together' or 'make plugins/tweaks' for a CMS roles. If you're using WordPress, Drupal, etc, then AI is devastating. Any sort of project that's not a massive

Maybe not a product per se, but I feel like video game mods, homebrew, recompilation projects, etc are seeing a ton of innovation nowadays. People are creating games and software that was thought impossible for years, like 3D platformers on

Honestly, if there was one point in history that marks when society started going the wrong direction, it was definitely 9/11. To some degree, it feels like it ties into a major problem humanity has in general; the attitude that "

The funny thing about old IE versions is that they did in fact get one thing right in retrospect; the box model used was a lot more intuitive than the one used by 'default' in standards compliant browsers. Why would border and pad

Yeah, and it should not be understated how bad only having autonomous cars would be for privacy and security conscious folk. A lot of the time you don't own them, so they're operating on the terms provided by the companies and gov

Reminds me of how awkward HTML doctypes used to be. Nowadays it's very simple, but in the past? You had to refer to the URL of the doctype declaration on every page > <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XH

Oh video games in general can have crazy development times, whether it's through an open beta/development process or a closed one. Dwarf Fortress is a good one for sure, as is Star Citizen. Also Duke Nukem Forever, and Beyond Good

Surprisingly common in fangames and mods. Mushroom Kingdom Fusion started in 2007 at the latest, and it's not going to be done for a year or so at the earliest. So, 20 years, maybe 30 if you count predecessor projects. Brutal Mario sta

This feels insane to me. Like, they're just terminating existing registrations? As the article says, this is a massive security problem waiting to happen, and there will be a lot of untoward consequences if things aren't handled v

If you want to make money from it, it's definitely far harder than it used to be. Ad payout for written content is miniscule compared to that for videos or livestreams, and the decline in traffic has likely hit things like affiliate li

That's very true, the Switch feels like an improvement on the Wii U concept in many ways. Though I feel the other big difference is that the Wii U Gamepad was highly limited in its capabilities. You could play games on it while other p

Genuine question for those saying the CV items don't show the impact of this guy's work: How are you supposed to know what the impact of your work is, especially in a large company? Because my experience is that most employers don
