Yeah it really flips things upside down when a journalist has so much access to info that they can essentially pick their own story from the data. Maybe they can't credibly fudge t…

I suspect Newton is rolling in his grave at your words. Standing on the shoulders of giants also means respecting the giants. That means dedicating time to learning what they have …

Maybe that's because you're not using your time well in the first place

To be fair browsers/CSS have been solving a lot of use cases you'd normally turn to js for, lately. We should continue escalating this effort.

I fear this is an analogy for what's happening with LLMs and context engineering.

I find this a bit like saying that we can't understand East of Eden because Steinbeck is dead.

Seems like more of a subtextual/accidental ability than an emergent ability.

Building a basic static html landing page is ridiculously easy though. What js is even needed? If it's just an html file and maybe a stylesheet of course it's easy to host. You can…

Try "Way of Being" by James Bridle.

At some points, new improvement and occasionally ingenuity need to find a healthy way back into the workflow. Moreso early on, but consistently over time as well. If we just create…

Yeah, that commenter wildly misunderstands what "progressive" means. Like full on got the definition of the word backwards. Is this common? People think "progressive" means "comple…

Politicians do come in different flavours. There are some elected officials with good intentions. See again the AOC/Pelosi rift. The more we regulate to get money out of politics, …

Trickle down economics isn't something you either "believe in" or "don't believe in". It's a disproven theory that does not work.

At least you're in control of when to look at the updates in new versions. A monorepo gives you less control. If you're unable to enforce control through other means, sure use a mo…

"If the whole world was a monorepo" is a great point made me laugh.
