Do not give up your brain It's tempting to just let tools think for you, but you still need to be able to think for yourself and stay sharp.

Do not give up your brain by @cassidoo.co

Hell yeah, welcome! It's been such fun this year trying to learn new things and appreciate the process, even the ups and downs of it all.

Christmas bread

Every year the whole team at Kit takes around a week and a half off for the holidays as one of the perks outside of normal PTO. I'm adding a few extra days and making it about 2 weeks.

Ready for the recharge, thankful for the time.

The Holiday is so good and you can't convince me otherwise.

Everyone who talked about how AI would give us freedom to be creative and push humanity forward with how we would have more time to make things...yeah it was a lie. This Is what we get instead.

The pattern of downloading a free app, going through a small tutorial, then being faced with a subscription requirement is one of the worst things to come out of the last decade.

Does this count:

margin-left: clamp(var(--margin-val), calc((100vw - 1280px) / 2 - calc(var(--margin-val) / 2)), 50vw);

I mean, the internet is measurably worse now, right? Everything is AI, everything is ads, everything is monetized, everything is shortcuts, everything is quick shitty low-effort content to try and become the next big thing...

Am I crazy or has it just not always been quite like this? Am I old?

They'll change it when it effects them personally, in a way that only benefits them personally.

Another day, another same old story.

Unbelievable.

On vacation and I get a ping that Cloudflare is down.

Oh no.

- keycode.info by @wesbos.com. Does what it says on the tin.

What makes a good photo? YouTube video by Cory Miller

I've been thinking a lot about what makes a good photograph, especially when it comes to self critique of our own work.

New video up. Bring your coffees or whiskies.

I'm slowly coming around to the idea of killing my streaming subscriptions again and rebuilding the physical library. Spotify doesn't give a shit about artists, and it's more and more clear with every price increase and every CEO bonus.

It's more important than ever to directly support art.

Got no replies so I got a guitar.

I don't need another guitar right? Just checking.

The late Daniel Naroditsky had an incredible YouTube channel going through tons of games and theories and openings and things like that, highly recommended if you haven't checked out his channel yet. Easy to listen to, explains very well.

Let's make AI jealous.
Write what Al can't touch.
Humans can think with their heads, hearts, and bodies.
Try moving your hands.
It's fine if your mind remains a jumble.
Ideas scattered across the paper.
Sometimes they connect by chance, and something new is born.

Apparently VC backing can't buy class.
