    Four of them were regarding AI/Copilot. So that's really just one long running incident and will probably continue to be 50/50 chance of being down.

    I also like that the article uses whatever system emoji you have, so everything is just showing apple emoji in text for me. All I see are a few 3D video renders of theirs.

    Can someone explain the actual use-case here? I'm struggling with this because it also hides the message from myself, making it incredibly hard to type because I have no confirmati…

    `git history split` is really going to help me help juniors break up their large PRs into smaller more concise changes. If only it had the option to split an entire branch in two e…

    I closed the page and gave up figuring out what this was about because of the poor contrast ratio and tiny font. [edit] apparently the contrast ratio is technically okay. But this …

    localStorage is not sent to the server when you request a document. So now you threw out the ability to do server-side rendering. This is only fine if you've got a application that…

    It's all the AI bloat for me. It keeps getting shoved in my face and they _really_ want me to use it. But I neither want nor need it. The product itself was so good that it doesn't…

    They've been using AI to shove a lot of AI into their product and trying to force everyone to use AI. I really don't understand the why of any of it. The product was working great …

    Wait till they find out what information native/installed apps can find out about you.

    Zen has been working as a full replacement for Arc for me since the Atlassian acquisition. There are only minor things that I miss from Arc ("development mode").

    /me click "Jobs" > Internal Server Error I should have assumed this would happen based on how "vibey" the main page looked.

    What's wrong with codeberg for private repos?

    I agree with a caveat: Default date pickers on mobile devices are very good. But on desktop browsers they are terrible. They break design continuity in a very ugly way and have qui…

    The images will always need a network request, but the non-JS version requires another request for the new HTML source. And with the previous implementation, all users would get th…

    This is a weirdly unpopular opinion here when it comes to HTML & JS, but there's a time and place for everything. This is a neat small example, but hardly worth the effort of chang…

    Thanks for pointing this out. I had no idea it existed. The other options in the comments just didn't quite work the way I would like. - The main topic requires me to pull python d…
