    There's a lot of 'But what about' in the comments. I think it's a delightful setup. I love simplicity and tools that do one thing well.

    Good post. Using slim is the easiest and biggest impact change.

    I believe it's dishonest to give an unreviewed unedited AI answer as your own response without disclosing it's an AI answer. AI is often right enough for most people's cases, but o…

    The technological world is rapidly changing and Google is changing with it. They are in a very strong position, owning the full stack in an industry that is very early and rapidly …

    Reflecting on the comments, I did this to myself. I should have titled this "I used AI to make me dumb".

    I have a method of using voice transcription to brain dump my thoughts and ask AI to turn it into something organised and sensible.

    When I wrote this I overlooked the fact that I was in management for years before, which is possibly the actual real reason I forgot how to code. I've probably also been avoiding c…

    I think you're right and that's probably my mistake. I should be using it as a companion rather than an independent agent. I think enhanced auto complete or function level work is …

    Not a flood but a reduction.

    The lack of refactoring when using AI tools is definitely a concern. I've only ever seen lines of code go up.

    I reckon you're right. The self-doubt is a signal and I can use it a tool.

    Newsblur has been stable and consistent since the Google Reader shutdown. Has plenty of goodies. Samuel Clay, the creator, is responsive to feedback. Can't fault it.

    "Why are you making these changes?" We want more money, so we're charging more money.

    I'm suprised they're shutting down because of a lack of a buyer/investor rather than making it and keeping it as a successful business. Are the goals these days for a big buy out?
