It’s Friday. We’re Tired. Developers are drowning in AI-generated code reviews. The volume doubled but the brain didn't. It's Friday and we're tired.

I found this discussion with the @eff's executive director, Cindy Cohn, really inspiring. Whether fighting for free speech or against surveillance, underneath is a fight about optimism. What kind of Internet do WE want? www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkC1...

Detained by ICE, he missed multiple cancer treatments. Now he’s in hospice. Some immigrants with chronic health problems were swept up by ICE in Minnesota, leading to missed medications and, for one man, missed chemotherapy sessions.

Oudone Lothirath missed four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention and received no medical care there. Now he will likely die in a matter of days. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

So I Put My AI Skills in a Marketplace I built a personal marketplace to package and distribute my AI coding skills across machines. Here's what that looks like and why you might want one too.

Everyone's building AI coding skills right now. I took it a step further and built a personal marketplace to make them portable across machines and projects.

In search of Banksy, Reuters found the artist took on a new identity Anonymity has become part of a lucrative brand for the artist Banksy, but records we unearthed prove his true identity and show the new name he used to travel to Ukraine.

“A quest to solve the riddle took Reuters from a bombed-out Ukrainian village to London and downtown Manhattan — and uncovered much more than a name.”

Did Trump invite the parents of the fallen Iran war soldiers to Mar-a-Lago this weekend or is he just fundraising off their dead children without permission?

Three AIs Missed It. One Human Didn’t I ran a PR through Claude Code, Cursor, and CodeRabbitAI. Three layers of AI review. One human colleague caught the bug none of them did. Here's what that taught me.

Three AI tools reviewed my PR. One human colleague asked me to try something, and it immediately revealed the bug none of them caught. #AI #WebDevelopment #HumanFirst

AI Chose Your UI (Did It Choose Wrong?) Vibe coding tools are quietly making your UI and UX decisions for you. Every prototype comes back React, Tailwind, shadcn. Nobody questions it. Maybe we should.

AI is influencing our UI decisions. Are we supposed to go along with it because the output looks polished? #designsystems

Gregory Bovino is now under criminal investigation Video shows the Border Patrol's former "commander-at-large" throwing a gas canister at protesters and observers in Minneapolis in January.

Minneapolis-area prosecutors are investigating disgraced Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced today.

User Chris: What was the core difference why you think the DoW accepted OpenAI but not Anthropic Sam Altman: I can't speak for them, but to speculate with the best understanding of the situation. *First, I saw reporting that they were extremely close on a deal, and for much of the time both sides really wanted to reach one. I have seen what happens in tense negotiations when things get stressed and deteriorate super fast, and I could believe that was a large part of what happened here. *We believe in a layered approach to safety--building a safety stack, deploying FDEs and having our safety and alignment researcher involved, deploying via cloud, working directly with the DoW. Anthropic seemed more focused on specific prohibitions in the contract, rather than citing applicable laws, which we felt comfortable with. We feel that it it's very important to build safe system, and although documents are also important, I'd clearly rather rely on technical safeguards if I only had to pick one. *We and the DoW got comfortable with the contractual language, but I can understand other people would have a different opinion here. *I think Anthropic may have wanted more operational control than we did

I saw some folks asking what the difference was between what OpenAI signed with the DoD and what Anthropic said they wanted, and Sam more or less admits here the key point: OpenAI's deal requires them to trust the NSA. Anthropic's contract had real safeguards.

npm uninstall humans Tech leadership is treating people like npm packages to be audited and removed. But humans are the platform, not the dependency.

You’re Automating the Wrong 70% A rebuttal to the claim that AI will replace 70% of design system work. The article misses the biggest part: support, maintenance, and the human relationships that drive adoption.

"AI will replace 70% of design system work." Where'd that number come from? Vibes. And the argument ignores the biggest part of the job: support, maintenance, and the humans supporting humans. #designsystems
