Folks, I'm happy to announce my next game will use up all water, destroy humanity in a global blaze, & lose $8 billion weekly. IPO starts at a 20 gazillion euros valuation based on me counting the amount of zeroes wrong. Upon checking the prototype I realized bigger number is better. Supersentience.

Latest round of hiring is showing me that the tech industry is losing some extraordinarily talented people who are uninspired by its unimaginative visions for the future.

conventional wisdom for the entire time i've been programming has always been "less code is better". the idea that we must write more code faster is ridiculous. the problem has never been rate of output

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

when the world moves on from all this ‘make shitty things but make them very quickly’ nonsense there’s gonna be a lot of folks out there who could’ve learned to make great things but spent three years stuck in a cycle of toxic adequacy. i really hope we stop this incessant devaluing of craft.

Photo of Apple's keynote where they show the iPhone Duo held in one hand in its folded and its unfolded form. The right hand would never be able to hold it as shown, so below is an edit of what the hand would have to look like.

Jensen Huang just claimed the Singularity hit and we have achieved AGI. So two years from now, when we don't have fusion power and intergalactic travel etc because The Singularity is a fantasy, I assume everyone will admit they've been had.

It's funny how Google invents Brotli and support using it for HTTP compression in Chrome, but completely neglects adding it to Compression/DecompressionStream, while WebKit, Firefox and even Node implements it 🤦‍♀️

A screenshot from the MDN DecompressionStream() page, showing Firefox, WebKit and Node having support for brotli, while all Chromium browsers is missing it.

it feels odd that what's holding technology back from benefiting humanity at this moment, isn't really a technological problem, but a bureaucratic issue of incentive structures there's so much money being wasted on things that are either neutral or a net negative within tech now, it's weird

This is essentially the entire AI bubble: "If it were opt-in, nobody would opt-in." The tech industry is deeply unhealthy when this is accepted as normal, and clearly these people feel no shame about it. Let's push back and show them the cost of being this anti-consumer.

New "cartoon": Border Collie comicss.art/comics/254/ I saw a similar concept on social media, and tried to give it a background-clip CSS twist. #css #webdev #comic

Four photos of a border Collie cropped differently: first one occupied a whole square and it's titled "border Collie". The second one has a blank space in the outside and it's called padding Collie. In The third one, the blank space is larger and it's titled content Collie. The last one is the text "text Collie" and the photo of the dog can be seen through the text.

Periodic reminder that Chrome is bad software. It's a personal data collector cosplaying as a web browser. Use other browsers, my personal recommendations are Safari (if you're on a Mac) and Vivaldi (works anywhere). Orion is worth a look too (no Windows version yet).

I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.
