good read.

the AI people are taking over one cool name at a time

...and now that some have been sharing less out of fear of their knowledge being scraped by AI, I can't help but feeling sad. Knowledge gets drowned out, grows more generic, mediocre, and unhelpful. The act of sharing has a cancerous, performative side to it now.

many places to search have been suggested to me through people writing on their personal blogs, be it on their own research or experience, but nevertheless off the beaten path: accessible through a single link from mainstream platforms, and pretty much invisible on search engines.

...so much that it's hard for me to do any search for software design without resulting to elaborate exact quote tricks on google. likewise, LLMs, being a gestalt of the online discussion, ended up offering the same unhelpful output.

Programing-specific rant: I still see Clean Code and Go4 being recommend in the big 2026. They took up so much of the online discussion space for what's imo bad books that are the products of their time.
"clean code" and "design patterns"are catchy words, they end up polluting the vocabulary...

Many good book/resource recommendations I have found are on reddit threads with 2 comments and nearly impossible to find by keyword because they just post the links to buy them instead of naming them.
When it comes to tech stuff, I am really convinced 99.9% of recommendations online are harmful.

It's really nice to write code offline and get compiler guided, I think I would have gone crazy with reading the book alone. Having a LLM at hand to answer syntax Qns is handy

Ironically, asking LLMs to explain to you certain syntax and even code examples is great and much faster than googling now. I highly recommend making the chatbot link to the official docs in its response too (there's none in JavaScript but MDN web docs is the de facto docs afaik)

why are vocaloid songs so short nowadays...I just checked out the teto brainrot song and it's just over 2 mins

monospace font for computer use - iosevka, semi extended (576 width) and some tweaks to lowercase y, l, zero to my taste, otherwise default

I switched to low weight high reps at the gym the past month, and seems like it's working well. Not being in pain the day after makes going daily much much easier. Feels like it makes me faster too, and I can still do chores at home after.

(programming topics only) I can name some other SEO culprits: dev.to, algoacademy, geeks4geeks. centralised blog platforms attract slop, with low entry bar and all.

hacker news is pretty bad, lobste.rs pretty good (stricter bar on AI topics)

best is hunting down blogs from experienced ppl.

Elias Daler (@EliasDaler) I'm shocked by the number of really bad blog posts about programming I see when I google stuff. The only good articles I find were written 10-20+ years ago by industry professionals on their personal...

imo Medium as a platform should be avoided, almost zero value content, SEO optimized to clutter up search results.

related, Gemini has been pretty nice for locating technical keywords I previously didn't know (other LLMs don't seem to be as good when it comes to search)

I have not seen this anywhere online, and it took me a fair amount of asking around so here:

I'm at the point where I realize avoiding takes a lot more energy than just facing work out front, so maybe to be a truly lazy person I have to... avoid avoidance? sounds weird but I really do feel like it's true

In fact, the first link that comes up is already pretty interesting.

Kagi Small Web Discover the small web - personal blogs, independent YouTube channels, and webcomics from genuine humans on the internet.

Something I want to do more often is reading blogs from people. This site randomly chooses an article someone wrote in the last 7 days, and has a word search index too. I think it's a lot more interesting to see longer writing people put effort in instead of SMedia feeds.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.
