Fwiw LLMs only generate what we steer them to generate. They are great at web standards.. arguably better than at react because web standards don't change completely every six months.

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

In the late nineties rave scene we used to use the term 'flailing' to describe a raver who is off the deep end out of their mind and possibly a danger to themselves or others.

This isn't a description you ever want for a software project dependency. ☠️

IF there's hardly any issues and the software is only updated when node LTS updates this is OBJECTIVELY GOOD.

Lots of issues and commits means a project is FLAILING.

We really need to remove the perception that "lots of commits" equals "good". Software can be done. Imagine if you saw ppl CONSTANTLY maintaining a physical bridge...not a good look for those engineers eh.

Prime Minister Mark Carney takes the ice with Ottawa Charge Mark Carney told Ottawa Charge players they were an inspiration for young girls and said he'd be cheering them on as they push for the PWHL playoffs.

Supporting women’s hockey.
Spending time with another head of state doing something real, not golfing.
Showing solidarity with 2SLGBTQIA+ folks 🌈
This is what real leadership looks like.
Proud of PM Carney 🥰
