I have deleted all my tweets, all replies, unfollowed everyone and removed all my followers on Twitter. AMA.

And that "simply" is meant as "simple". It's simple.

We would do away with most of our problems, if we simply banned algorithmic timelines.

Incredible. Also, incredibly dumb. 😅

I would love to work with a designer who understands the web.

Note the position of your teeth when you say "win", "under", and "vine".

API documentation as MS Word document. I had almost forgotten that this part of the internet also existed.

One aspect @t3.gg completely disregarded and probably *the* reason to use Firefox.

Either this list is skewed, or GOTO 2024 somehow gamed the algorithm.

Someone has to feed the machine. And it's not going to be Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

I fully agree with the no-code/low-code solutions being in trouble. It's just another tool for the non-programmer marketing/product person.

There was a point in the panel about using it for your dashboards, but if you think it through to the end, what should these dashboards be for? If AI is going to take over, there is nothing for you to show on your dashboards.

AI will stagnate software development if there are no more humans feeding it innovative and creative new ideas.

The main drawback of @generatepress.com is the mouse-first nature. When I'm coding, I rarely touch my mouse. In the block editor with GP, I constantly have to move between keyboard and mouse.

Google Maps showing parts of the United States and Mexico. The ocean in the middle is labeled "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)".

I wish @jetbrains.com would either offer a community version of Qodana for PHP or remove the three-contributor-limit from the Ultimate edition.

BBC just released damning research on AI assistants' news accuracy.

Results: 51% of AI responses had significant issues. 19% introduced errors when citing BBC. 13% misquoted or made up BBC content entirely. 🤐🤐

Looking at the WordPress project's path over the past few months, it's not true. Without proper governance and a clear structure, open source basically becomes unpaid labor for the benefit of a select few.

This is not surprising at all: When the AI generates language loaded with confidence and implying deep knowledge, it's easy to fall into trust and start assuming it's doing good work. Less effort in doing something means you spend less energy paying attention.

Yet we get bombarded with "I built the entire library of all software ever made in just three days with AI". I haven't felt this imposterish in almost a decade.

Maybe it's age, maybe it's the times, but it definitely resonates.

The researchers also found that “users with access to GenAI tools produce a less diverse set of outcomes for the same task, compared to those without. This tendency for convergence reflects a lack of personal, contextualised, critical and reflective judgement of AI output and thus can be interpreted as a deterioration of critical thinking.”

The one about religion? Absolutely. Moreover, AI rarely says no. Ask it to refractor your code and it will do so, no matter if it makes sense or not.

I have experienced this to some level and I think it's only going to get worse.

Asking for advice is different from asking for a solution.

"For a full-stack developer booting up a new app on Fly.io, Fly Postgres, our automated solution, had mostly the same UX/DX affordances as managed Postgres. To know it wasn't managed, you'd have to read the documentation, and for modern developers, documentation might as well be fine print. We set RDS expectations with something that was essentially just a bunch of scripts and `flyctl` Go code. When we couldn't meet managed database expectations, users were deeply disappointed."

“For modern developers, documentation might as well be fine print”. Weird sentence there @fly.io.

I have researched and clicked through 100+ .com domain names. Maybe 2 had any content on them, but none are free.

The domain market is totally messed up. Are there any .com domains left that don't have a minimum bid of $50.000 for a parked domain that never had content?
