y’all there are so many books

Being right about everything has really not been paying out like I was hoping. Gonna pivot to Aggressively Wrong and see how that goes.

I don‘t know what’s going on here but I want to invest for $100 million.

"An upfront specification is never correct" is bang on.

Hopefully each game also maps the other shoulder button to some kind of "consume a rare resource" action.

Every time I see a new “my agentic coding workflow” blog post I think about this.

(also I was being a bit glib; a more reasoned reaction would be that I think depending on context all of them except "code is the product" can be true today)

"Humans operate systems"

Wow 5 out of 6 bullets on the "PAST" side incorrect; impressive!

You love to see it.

Hot take: CSS is Good Actually; related more general hot take: it is OK for a powerful tool to require a modest amount of learning investment before it can be wielded successfully.

the dogs are shit at crash too but in their case it's at least not disappointing

Let Jacques Pepin rest! He has done enough!

fucking SERIOUSLY. I see a lot of stuff that isn't my cup of tea when I click Discover, but I can just scroll past most of it. That shit ruins my day though.

Meta Is Warned That Facial Recognition Glasses Will Arm Sexual Predators More than 70 organizations, including the ACLU, EPIC, and Fight for the Future, say the AI smart glasses feature would endanger abuse victims, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people.

I don’t understand the framing here. What do you mean “warned”? They know! “Arms sexual predators” is probably in a design doc somewhere! www.wired.com/story/meta-r...

I think if you have made a webpage that visibly stutters while scrolling on my computer that can run Fortnite at 120FPS, you done fucked up.

Rick Rubin is in P2 but he is rapidly closing the gap on current P1 Steve Jobs in the rankings of Guys I Wish Executives Would Stop Trying To Emulate.

ahaha they hate it when you point that out though. At a past job I made some remark about our SDLC being more or less waterfall, and I've never seen "Several people are typing..." appear so quickly in Slack.

"Don't let perfect be the enemy of good" feels like reasonable advice in general although I mostly hear it from people who are themselves the enemy of good.

Just dipped into a Claude user forum for kicks, and the current top thread is a bunch of people begging the developers to slow down and stop adding hastily-made, ill-considered features to the product at the cost of stability.

Sorry but it's illegal to have Discourse happening about both AI and a politician named Al at the same time as long as this website's body font is Inter.

I mean they still make great hardware. I personally am really particular about UI stuff and each major OS release has made a bunch of opposite-what-I-like decisions. It's up to you how particular you are about it; if you think a Neo looks like it's what you'd want, I'd definitely test drive one.

I need a one-time allowance for clicking it to find out if there's a "hide this button" option hidden in a dropdown menu but otherwise cosigned.

Literally true for me. After almost 20 years of accepting-the-tradeoffs Mac usage it finally got to be too much.

Evergreen post even without the Windows/Copilot context tbh

Wish I had chosen a career where my fellow workers understood what class they were in.

Great way to easily spot guys who should not be allowed anywhere near laws *or* software.

I'm so fucking sick of the word "taste".
