i give a pass to non-native speakers. but it does immediately make me less interested and ready to run away.
i will immediately close a page with ai generated art. fuck that

migrated to @eurosky.social
migration itself went smoothly, but everything around it is a nightmare of codes not working and verifications not verifying.
i was finally able to log back in but i cannot change my password 👌

Anthropic Is Jacking Up the Price for Power Users Amid Complaints Its Model Is Getting Worse Heavy users could pay significantly more under a new usage-based pricing model.

So it begins.

We won't have to wait long until executives come knocking on the doors of engineers asking "so... that Claude Code licence we gave you and forced you to use, going so far as to track your token use... how valuable is it REALLY?"

gizmodo.com/anthropic-is...

fundamentally it has the same problem backend engineers (broadly speaking) have: trying to apply tech solutions to human problems.
what we do is coding UX solutions and there is no debugger for those!

Partial blame to Microsoft and Zoom for normalizing the need to install new software just to make video calls, despite browsers being perfectly capable. They make it extra hard to even find the web-only links.

claude code “you’ve hit your limit” message

Claude ran out of tokens during the first ask of the week. as it was preparing to write a plan.
I’m on the basic pro plan, but this is ridiculous. cancelling.

Quantization from the ground up | ngrok blog A complete guide to what quantization is, how it works, and how it's used to compress large language models

I spent 2 months learning about quantization and am extremely proud of the post I've written about it. I think these are some of the nicest visuals I've ever made, and I love how this compression technique invented in 1898 is being used on the bleeding edge in 2026.

i can natively require typescript from cjs in node but i am blocked by jest being an embarrassing piece of crap.
fuck jest

Don’t talk like them It’s important to learn how to say things without sounding like a complete asshole.

I wrote a blog post about why it's important to talk like an actual human being.

i deleted my facebook account about 10 years ago.
what the fuck were all those tech people doing in the meanwhile?
if i look at it now it looks exactly the same like???

well, yes.
as in short sighted gains will result in an extinction event.
let’s use AI as an excuse for layoffs and the illusion it will eventually solve our needs. eternal 6-12 months

I think people are continuing to undervalue craftsmanship as well, like they have for the entire history of software engineering.

this is a mythical 3rd type of devs.
usually the craft and getting a function just right is a form of zen enjoyment, the goal has always been the outcome.
and for the outcome to be everlasting you need the craft.
the catch being not everything has to be done right, disposable software has a place

Upgraded to vite 8 our monorepo.
Mostly straightforward from vite 7, build time went from 33s to 12s
nice.

DOOM fully rendered in CSS. Every surface is a <div> that has a background image, with a clipping path with 3D transforms applied. Of course CSS does not have a movable camera, so we rotate and translate the scene around the user.

I vibe coded a 3D rendering of our cabinet configurator while gaming on a thursday night. shipped it to prod the monday after.
many iterations and refactorings involved, but as a threejs noob i would not have attempted this.
crazy times

btw just wrapped a 2 weeks migration from @vuejs.org 2.7 to 3 at Cutr.
Mostly to switch form libraries.
Enjoyable experience, 3 years in the making, dream come true.

apple locale bound restriction is such a stupidly avoidable and unnecessary punishment that i can’t even begin

funny thing is: they should pay ME to watch these games my god

same with spaghetti code. the fuck are you talking about, spaghetti is love

apple products are built for a 20 years old white guy living in california

My kids

Sure, lots of stories about how much agentic AI sucks, but plenty of cases where it's genuinely saved time and energy. Such as, uh. Well, for example, ahh, hang on

It's a Luddite (historical usage) labor problem being turned into a Luddite (common usage) moral panic problem. [Though mobs destroying their local data centers isn't without its appeal.]

”What’s wrong with build tools? Other languages are compiled!”

Yes, but their compiler is official and always there.

The #JS ecosystem has devolved into a state where abstraction, the most fundamental software engineering concept, has been outsourced to third party tooling.

*That’s* the problem.

not to mention every porn website translating its content to the sexiest language to ever exist (dutch) because of location
no more porn for me

i so fucking much hate this new trend of AI translated content. i wanna read espresso machine reviews from italians and all i get is translated reddit posts… WHY????

Following Eurovision’s decision to allow Israel’s participation, Spanish public broadcaster RTVE has withdrawn from the contest. The announcement split the screen between Israel’s performance and scenes of bombardment and starving children in Gaza. #Spain #eurovision #genocide
