We don't need to speed up production. We need to slow down.
We don't need to write code faster. We need to think through what we write.
We've spent decades working to ship faster, and that's landed us in a world of hurt.
Build better products, not faster.
it's weird to be numb and incandescently angry at the same time
We built a communications system intended to be so redundant it could survive a nuclear war and now it struggles anytime there's a rainy day at an Amazon server farm.
mine developed much faster than I thought they would and hurt a lot less than I expected, except my pinky which I'm only just starting to use and hurts like a motherfucker after a little
not rly news but I've been learning guitar for abt two months now and it's loads of fun :)
omg it looks like a bubble :o
Highlighted section of the Copilot ToS which says "Copilot is for entertainment purposes only"

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u

The WebAIM Million 2026 report is out, it reports on overall accessibility across the web:
1. The number of failures increased 10.1% YOY
2. The average number of page elements increased 22.5%YOY
Meaning accessibility progress is backsliding. Personally, I am quite certain this is related to AI.
shout out to all my fellow trans friends <3
Today's a great day to donate to a trans-owned and -led nonprofit that is working to break down bureaucratic barriers to legal name changes and gender marker changes 💜

part of the pollution that's happening to our information ecosystem is that it becomes harder to actually be responsible
like somebody says "oh, i don't trust ai. i'm going to find a reputable source, like an actual medical clinic"
at least in the software development field it feels like a lost battle, every engineer is just treating it as the Next Thing while not considering all other factors around it like... how it's a fascist technology built by fascists for their fascist needs
do people just not think anymore?
all the people who don't like kings should not like capitalism too for the same reasons

This is not an article that Steve, the author, thinks should exist in a healthy industry, but the shape of our industry — especially right now — makes this sort of article very necessary and hopefully helpful to you in your job.

occasionally i’m into cis people but you gotta admit, their thoughts about sex and gender are pretty fringe
wait .fyi is cuteee
My woke opinion of the day is tying art to capital, and capital to survival, is fundamentally anti-art
It inherently compromised the artists vision from the roots. its financial success is a factor that will always exist in the creators mind - informed or opposed
Want pure art? Kill capitalism
James @GoodVibePolitik X.com A friend in Cuba just notified me that every single patient in that hospital that was on ventilators died tonight. I don't have words. James @GoodVibePolitik•4h There's something supremely saddening and enraging about seeing a hospital running on bare minimum power. Thinking about dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others tonight in Cuba. This is a blockade of death. THE THE B
What the US is purposefully doing to Cuba should be considered genocide.
Israel has targeted and killed more journalists than any nation on record. Over 300 individuals since October 2023.
in search of the truest terrors, are we?
:o no more true terrors
I don’t think we talk enough about how the foundational, most aspirational premise of the AI industry is “what if there was a human-level intelligence that didn’t have human rights.” Like. Exploitation is literally the whole point! Of COURSE they hold human life, intelligence and labour in contempt!
I can vouch for the quality of Complete CSS and Mindful Design, they are both top notch courses. I can only assume JavaScript for Everyone lives in that same vein. Go support the kind and intelligent people over at @piccalil.li!
im sorry,, did you count the stairs as you fell down them?
"e-meet" shuuuut the fuck up PLEASE

happy birthday :)
