I know I’m echoing others’ responses but CSS in 2026 is incredible, easy to use and beautiful. I find the tailwindcss approach inexcusable and unmaintainable.

Anecdotal but just came back from 2 weeks abroad and didn’t have to take any action to continue using my chase card. Also I believe the conversion rate was better than the local.

I paid for bettermouse and can recommend it. Light and powerful. No bloatware.

Thinking about what meditation is, and practicing meditation are not the same. The thinking mind cannot simulate its effects. The thinking mind assumes it is the whole mind. Meditation reveals it to be a tiny subset. Which cannot experience

Maybe not appealing but interesting. Distinct enough from the rest of the thumbnails on the page to trigger an impulsive tap or click.

I did and was a bit disappointed as it didn’t seem to be as closely related as I wished it to be (aliens wise). Waiting for the third book.

Blindsight. Not an easy read but very rewarding in terms of sci-fi world building. The three body problem series. Also sci-fi, recommended if you enjoy deeper reading.

I’m in the process of training my wetware. Prolonged periods without a narrative result in a shift that cannot be described. The thinking mind is a subset and cannot really communicate its superset.

Ruby is still a joy for me, too, and Rails continues to evolve while providing solid best practices as the default. A side effect is an increased intolerance to agony, boilerplate verbosity, complexity. I look at the JavaScript world and sh

Writing is a process for structuring and distilling your own ideas and mental models. Sharing your writing publicly is a form of self expression and owning who you are at a certain point in time. Do as you wish but do it for yourself. Blogg

Trials show that UBI is fantastic and does bring the best in people, lifting them from poverty and addiction, making them happier, healthier and better educated. It is awful for the extractive economy as employees are no longer desperate. H

How much do you hallucinate at work? How many of your work hallucinations do you confidently present as reality in communication or code? LLMs are being sold as viable replacement of paid employees. If they were not, they wouldn’t be funded

The ministry for the future by Kim Stanley Robinson explores technological and societal solutions to climate collapse in a novel form. Starts in somewhat current time and follows humanity’s trajectory for the next 30-ish years. I found it e

I share the same sentiment. Not sure if it’s productive to see one on ones as a game of domination. In my experience empowered coworkers make a better team and are a better deal for the company. Maybe it was a humorous remark lost to the ab

One way to think of LLM output is that it is all hallucination. Sometimes it happens to coincide with reality. To an LLM it’s all the same as there’s no relationship to reality, just to likelihood to reality. It’s the difference between “th

My dismissal I think indicates exhaustion from the additional work I’d need to do to make an LLM write my code, annoyance at its inaccuracies, and disgust at the massive scam and grift that is the LLM influencers. Writing code via a LLM fee

I wonder if there’s a way to measure the cost of such code and associate it with the individuals incurring it. Unless this shows on reports, managers will continue believing LLMs are magic time saving machines writing perfect code.

CSS has been steadily improving across browsers, addressing pain points and real world scenarios. CSS grid and subgrid, nesting, variables, container queries, css layers… In 2025 it’s a pleasure to work with. Props to the amazing people inv

You’re right of course, I can only presume, deduct, or, project others’ experiences. Do you hypothesize LLMs to be conscious? Could you expand?
