If you liked the pneumatic segmented display like I did, here is a meditative video on alternative segmented displays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTB5XhjbgZA No affiliation, just one of my favourite videos.

Oh this again. Then explain international train travel in Europe or China's national train network. Both fill large areas. Conversely, the UK is long and narrow, and unlike Japan has neither earthquakes nor is it particularly mountaino

Is serialising a model and building JSON that much more expensive than rendering HTML?

The article lists the significant performance gains. Why render on wimpy phones over bad network when a cheap aws box can do it for you? That aside, Next.js and the recent related vulnerabilities made me weary of RSC and I struggle to see t

JSX is easily the most productive templating language out there, I fail to see your point.

Pizarro might have been illiterate but I did not get the impression that he was a moron. That last bit is a crucial ingredient.

One of the problems I see is that the more LLM-driven code becomes, the more voluminous it gets, much of it being completely unnecessary. For example, CC will happily implement new patterns, pull in extra dependencies, and set up event-driv

The initial Spanish conquest of the Inca empire by 168! Spaniards was not a question of disease as much a war of succession the Incas fought amongst themselves that Pizarro knew to exploit. Throw in horses, steel, and gunpowder and you have

Most people are exceptionally good at differentiating between scientific (meteorological, astronomical) seasons and when it is time to spend months eating ice cream in shorts. I'd be far more interested in learning how seasons shift du

Kagi demonstrates what tech could be like if it didn't conspire against its users.

Please no. Those were terrible days. Imperatively poling around the DOM invariably leads to pain. Don't. I openly dislike Next and would take that over those days any day.

Next certainly feels more complex than Laravel or Rails while only providing most of the view layer and a client-server protocol based on React. You're still left alone with i18n, auth, and pretty much anything to do with the backend

These are some helpful heuristics, thanks. This list is also one of many arguments for maintaining good Git discipline.

This Theo can be safely ignored. He built his audience shilling for Next.js in hour long roundabout videos and now seemingly moved on to doing the same for whatever else is happening. A tech influencer.

I would have thought so too. But my n=1 has CC solving pretty much the same task today and about two weeks ago with drastically degraded results. The background being that we scrapped working on a feature and then started again a sprint lat

Rings true. 4.5 Opus and 4.6 Opus have been amazing to work with. Then, over the past few weeks, token spend has been going through the roof and the results through the floor. Using Claude Code directly now borders on deranged, and running

Points 1, 2 and 3 also guard against the LLM going down the wrong path. Keep that context clean.

I had the displeasure to work with various MS systems over the years and coherence is not a concept in Redmond. It just isn't. The layers of outdated and conflicting documentation, fragmented logins, the naming (365, live, .net [both n

Now this is a development I like. With the Claude bug, or so it is known, burning through tokens at record speed, I gave alternative models a try and they're mostly ... interchangeable. I don't know how easy switching and low bran

Once you reach this stage, the only escape is to jump ship. Either mentally or, ideally, truly. You're in an unwinnable position. Don't take the brunt for management's mistakes. Don't try to fix what you have no agency o

I am certain that Hegseth is facing several, "shit!" moments, at least one of them along those limes, yes.

Obnoxious ads in LLM output was my only 2026 prediction. But I expected OpenAI to get there first and wasn't sure whether the AI companies would first add traditional ad boxes or go straight for blighted responses.

Unlike Freud, the claims in the book are falsifiable. The psychological model it presents is concrete enough for anyone to present evidence against it. You can use the model to make predictions about human behaviour. The same cannot be said
