It is difficult, as a Jew whose family was massacred in the Holocaust, to watch people come to this realization. Millions of us died because of people like this. The Holocaust was not that long ago! People have not evolved out of racism and bigotry. Folks like this will always live among us.

I'm *so proud* of Learn AI. We worked so hard on this course, for 10+ months.

Web development is changing. Learn how to design features that benefit from AI (rather than adding it to everything, everywhere, all at once)

"If you have already run OpenClaw on a work device, treat it as a potential incident and engage your security team immediately." - @jmeller.bsky.social

Many security folks and devs are talking about potential problems, so this is unsurprising and yet jaw dropping.

^ Minor caveat of course. There's also chaotic everyday nightmares, produced by the government(s), that is disrupting everything and lacing layered fear throughout our lives. That's also happening.

@anildash.com clearly identifies this dissonance between the billions spent on AI and the mass chaos in tech. I'm exhausted, as are many friends and colleagues.

All we can do is take control of what we can, acknowledging that our power may be limited, but we can do *something*.

Are you using hot corners? Because the Desktop hot corner is my absolute favorite, temporarily moving windows aside to see your desktop.

Our mental models are built on compartmentalization, we make quick decisions to stay alive. But sometimes, these mental models lead to bad choices.

Looking able-bodied isn’t a thing. Walking doesn’t mean able-bodied.

People (especially Americans) assume the worst when they have minimal information. This is further fueled by an administration that thrives on misinformation and invoking rage.

This feels like fears of voter fraud. People are furious about a threat of others taking advantage of a system, when in reality, the threat only exists so those in power can build hateful, racist policies.

Since COVID, the number of people with disabilities has grown an amount we cannot understand.

I've been a writer for 3 product areas, traveled to 20+ global offices, and spoken to countless developers about docs. I'm most proud of the friendships that became IRL friends.

For the good (and bad), I'm glad to be here and try and make my tiny part of the web ecosystem a little bit better. (2/2)

Today marks 7 years at Google. I was shocked to get a response to my application, shocked they wanted an interview, then devastated I was offered a position requiring me to take a 20% salary cut. It took 4 more months to get a new offer, another 4 to start. In total, the process was 13 months. (1/2)

A Theory of Dumb What if the cause of Americans’ collective cognitive decline is, simply, each other?

"Our first point of contact with most information is rarely the information itself but some lossily compressed derivative that’s already been processed and strained through a dozen layers of reinterpretation." from Lane Brown at @nymag.com.

A great Monday morning read.

Mamdani Makes History With Victory in Mayor’s Race More than 2 million New Yorkers cast a ballot in a high-stakes election that smashed recent turnout levels.

At just 34 years old, Zohran Mamdani culminated a meteoric political rise Tuesday by scoring a decisive victory in a polarizing mayoral election.

He will become the youngest mayor in over a century, the first Muslim to lead New York City.

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics.

Members of Rabbis for Ceasefire stand in front of a metaphorical arc that says: Refuse, Remember, Recommit. A large crowd gathers in front of them, watching speeches.

Members of Rabbis for Ceasefire stand in front of a metaphorical arc that says: Refuse, Remember, Recommit. A large crowd gathers in front of them, watching speeches.

Last week, I attended the Rabbis for Ceasefire Yizkor service. It was incredible to be surrounded by fellow New Yorkers, many of whom are Jewish like me, in mourning for Palestine.

Today marks 2 years of this war. 70 years since the occupation began. Ceasefire now.

This is my favorite of all of the Shorts, if only because we had *so much fun*. Definitely the best project of my year.

It was in fact perfect and all of the mistakes were totally intentional.
