Once I learned this exists, I blocked it from ever being requested. And I check my payroll settings to never report income.

Claude Design outputs like this.

This gave me flashbacks to LonCapa in college when I was in calculus classes circa 2011. A correct answer was marked incorrect automatically because of floating point issues.

They were called "Tech Bro Podcast Network" but rebranded at some point.

I remember it going down semi-regularly in the 2013+ era, and seeing HN posts about it. Especially if you were using a package manager reliant on GitHub like Cocoapods. It seems to…

My manager recommended Agile Web Rails 8. Will spend the weekend diving into that.

I started a new job where I need to get up to speed with RoR. I've dabbled with it a decade ago, and understand the scaffolding/generators/etc but still feel very out of place on a…

This feels more like a repeat of iOS7 to me.

There are tons of tools that collect stuff like this, hotjar.com has been a thing for over a decade.
