"Umm actually these behaviors only check 9 out of 10 of the fascism boxes", says a real commenter on that thread.

including DHH on your website as an open source project in 2026 *is* a political statement, regardless of whether or not you feel like it is we've learned over and over again that there won't be consequences for such statements, but it does help tell people who they can trust [contains quote post or other embedded content]

No I can't just take off the pickle the burger still tastes like it had a pickle you can TELL it was there it's so fucking obviou-

Last night was a somewhat typical Sunday. That’s why I’m writing about it. I want to remember this phase of our lives before it’s gone. The end is nigh. I can feel it.1 The whole family was at home. All eight of us. Rach called a moratorium on screens for the remainder of the evening, so our screenagers2 had a moment like when Chip Douglas falls on the dish at the end of Cable Guy and KG is forced to read a book for once.

The largest tell for me to tell where culture and sentiment is shifting for AI tools is usually X, viral GitHub repositories and Hacker News. One of these tells I’ve been seeing a lot lately is skills like I have ADHD and Agents.md instructions such as giving outputs in only ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English.

A long time ago, I deliberately got rid of the accent I grew up with, because in the UK it made me sound dumb to people from the South. Then I worked in Colombia and simplified the way I spoke even more. 10 years after that, and the consequence is that my accent is functionally American, and I… regret it quite deeply 😢

Having “maybe I should switch to being an Architect” thoughts about how much being an “engineer” sucks in 2026 🥲

Mental note: make sure to list a higher salary than I was previously making, even if I was comfortable enough at that amount, especially if the listing minimum is above that.

Whenever a frontier lab AI CEO says that AGI will create a utopia, I play out the following thought experiment; imagine the Trump administration had a computer that could answer any question correctly. Would that world be a utopia? Is the lack of AGI what prevents our world from being a utopia?

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

My companies buzz word was paradigm. They weren't amused when I told them that paradigms is just twenty cents, so it was a two bit idea.
