because these files contain a lot of arbitrary garbage, including unsent emails for instance, you will find Stephen Colbert's name in there - because an email sent between two of epstein's buddies included a line where the author

For sure! Whilst most of the people around me seem to enjoy putting up with bad outcomes for the tradeoff of a few good ones (using ai codegen), I'll only use it to remind me of something ("please provide an example of doing X wit

comes off less like a developer trend tracker than a blogger's ego-boost, tbh - that's the vibe I got, and honestly, if I hadn't read this post, that's what I'd think it is - yet another way for a tech blogger to ge

the very first example runs counter to the argument: which do you think requires more craftsmanship: 1. the guy who flips a switch and watches the machine implement the design, or 2. the guy who implements the design by hand it's an ea

I guess I'm looking forward to the future where everyone just gets stuck without an agent, and I can charge the big dollahs to pinch-hit :D

His hypocrisy is astoundingly special. I trust nothing he says because he steadily backtracks on each and every promise, promises he's making on phantom mountains of money, so it's not surprising they fall through, but it is surpr

Most companies cannot be both authentic and constantly providing new monocles for their richest members. In other words - companies actively choose not to be authentic in the name of profit, and I don't see that changing significantly

whether it's incorrect or not, keeping around a feature for a rarely-used requirement of sentinels within the path is not helpful in a world where url construction is happening in code, with user-configured values, etc. I'd rather

sounds like a plan - if someone were to create an app to do this, I'd probably check it out and use it; tho honestly, I don't have the combination of time and motivation to do it myself :/ I might even pay a subscription fee

I honestly expected more outrage from people : this weapon usage is exactly the kind of thing the Geneva convention was all about, just not mentioned by name. It's worrying that everyone is ok with one country sending troops to microwa

This post brings up a lot of (imo true) points that I honestly can't share with the ai-lovers at work because they will just get in a huff. But the OP is right - we automate stuff we don't value doing, and the people automating al

Good. Minimal SaaS startups providing apis for things which are available within local code are stupid and have been forever. People buying into them are even dumber. Guess I work with a bunch of dumbasses then.

That's a pretty positive way to say that the AI grifters have effectively enshittified the net. Every page is behind a bot detection interstitial, wasting users' time to get to what they're looking for. And when that bot dete

Webpack is really powerful, however, it's a huge generalist, and I think the specializing tools are showing their speed. In addition, webpack has suffered the same unnecessary churn that a lot of J's projects do, where upgrades be
