Shouldn't "game company CEO" be on the very left?

It's funny how dependent society has become in software, while the companies developing the software all of it depends on acts as if it's just a nice bonus if it actually works.

One option is to not use "AI" and retain a functioning brain.

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

4 panel comic: Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here” Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!” Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much” Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

I've been thinking for a while now is probably a good time to brush up on the basics and web standards; semantic HTML, web components, replacing unnecessary JS with CSS (popovers, page transitions), etc.

Most people have visions of the future, but for some reason these unelected assholes' visions have to be forced upon us because… I guess media has decided they're smarter than the rest of us?

My partner is an engineer. When my kids were little, I had to ban the word "efficiency" on the grounds that that was not the highest priority in a family with small children. But also, efficient for whom? At producing what?

Yet another macOS feature I've never noticed before: you can double click on window edges (even corners) to expand that edge to the edge of the desktop.

Part of my job involves running a number of public-facing websites for healthcare providers, helping connect doctors and nurses to trainings, etc. Pretty niche stuff. We are getting HAMMERED. Constantly. For months on end.

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.

I also think it's odd there's like an expectation you should find this technology promising or interesting. Even without the context, I find it kinda average, and there are so many things I rather spend my limited time and energy learning than this. TBH I don't really think there's a future for AI.

Emmie Päivärinta @about1em.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I'm not gonna wait around for the AI industry to stop being ethically bankrupt, it would have to change basically everything to even be worth considering using their products. If that ever happens I might reconsider, but that's a completely hypotetical scenario.

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.

I think the people working in tech must be the industry's own most vocal critics or the public will completely lose trust in it. It's not an option pretending like what we do doesn't matter, it matters more than ever before.

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.

It's so ironic since parents trying to turn their queer children straight/cis is something that's happening constantly. The other way around is virtually unheard of. It's in their playbook to always accuse their enemies of the things they do.
