AI can already generate music and it stands out a mile both in terms of the lyrical content and how middle of the road it all is. People will create some slop on Suno and lip-sync to it on TikTok because they absolutely don't sound lik

We can skip Web3... Web 4.0 is twilight gradients, glassmorphism, text size xs in tailwind, and cards and pills for every UI component. Along with self-explanatory help text acting as filler under every header.

It's a legitimate boon for throwing together little internal apps, mind. I can slap something together with Claude over a few evenings to fill a gap on tooling, or I can wrestle with Jira and CI and all that to tie things together with

The remaining issue is that even an AI-generated UI needs considerable UX input in order to work well, especially when you have to fit it around domain specific knowledge, use-cases, and prior art. Is it for power users or not? All that. At

I reckon something like this has only been possible to develop because of how homogenous the internet has become in terms of design ever since the glass effect and drop-shadows took over in Web 2.0 and Twitter Bootstrap entered the scene. Y

Even a distributed or silo'd org chart has some affinity across the hierarchy in order to keep things in overall alignment. You wouldn't expect to use a product suite that is, holistically, not fully compatible with its own ecosys

I've noticed a lack of product cohesion in general and it does make me wonder if it's a result of dogfooding AI. For example, chat, cowork and code have no overlap - projects created in one of the modes are not available in anothe

I could tolerate Windows more if it stopped being a rental OS that thinks MS own your laptop more than you do. Like it was in Windows 7. All I ask is that things I uninstall stay uninstalled -- I got rid of OneDrive and Teams for a reason,

I'm a huge fan of SCP, or at least early day SCP. The problem I've found with a number of the longer form sagas is that they tend to rely on world-ending apocalyptic events (which really does get boring, it's not high stakes

I heavily advocate for rawdogging AI agents. All the fancy frameworks are vibe coded, so why could they do better than something you do by yourself? At most get playwright MCP in so the agent can see the rendered output

Never have I seen a company try so damn hard to make something a thing than Microsoft and Copilot. And it is absolute dogshit. And offensive to actual copilots.

Similarly Wether spoons, the chain of pubs in the UK. More interestingly, they tend to set up in historically significant or listed buildings and as a result, preserve them. Not unusual to find a Spoons set up in an old 19th century bank or

Kotlin is practically a no-brainer when you have JVM at your finger tips, versus something like Swift which is comparatively young. I tried to use Vapor with Swift recently and struggled to get something working because the documentation l

You could get a pint of nothing but head as well, if you wanted. In Spain they try to create the head by dumping the beer in the glass, Guinness style, and letting it excessively foam up. So it's half flat and half full.

I worry that CI just got overcomplicated by default when providers started rocking up with templated YAML and various abstractions over it to add dynamic behaviour, dependencies, and so on. Perhaps mixing the CI with the CD made that worse

The real impressive examples get turned into SaaS prototypes and not placeholders for your imagination. If they had vision they wouldn't be thrown out in a blog post.

I have met more than one person who would doggedly tolerate rebase, not even using rerere, instead of doing a simple ‘git merge --no-ff’ to one-shot it, not understanding that rebase touches every commit in the diff between main and not sim

I'm quite impressed by how a team managed to wangle the mental model of React and JSX into a terminal interface and in fact I can only imagine that that itself is a product of AI. That said, the runtime is so resource heavy that, even

I'll do most of my work in opencode with GPT 5.3/5.4 and just spin up Claude Code for a review/cleanup pass. Opencode just works faster and I prefer the UX.

This guy just discovered static linking. May he enjoy an eternal debate about static and dynamic linking, strong types and duck types, tabs and spaces, vim and emacs, less and more, and Kickers and Rockport.

Fair play to you on this. You were correctly attacking me on a low effort post and it got turned around onto you. This is how it works. I can double down on bullshit and you can spin your wheels arguing against it. That wasn't my origi

You know what? It's all on the public record, and if someone wants to defend these guys or challenge my opinion they can do better than asking for sources of well reported behaviour. Prove me wrong by contributing more than I did.

I don't think you have to understand why they made that decision, you just have to understand who they are and what they believe in. Just have a look at what they talk about, and what they are quoted as saying. Then it will start to ma

Even then, one of the great things with PHP was the shared-nothing architecture. A whole class of bugs simply do not exist when there is no concept of shared memory between requests. People would be terrified of it now but patching a change
