Silk is just perfect. The animation is so indistiguishable from native animations that I thought multiple times that I accidentally was interacting with Safari on iOS instead of the website. 😅

Living the best life! Toddlers are amazing. You will miss that phase once they graduate to being a ”kid”.

I use ”Popular with Friends” and shared skeets from my feed. Starter packs are also great (you follow all and remove people later, if their content is not for you)

If you can get the team to work together in their projects, then kanban + wip limits are a great alternative to sprints.

- Dystopian fears: AI has the potential to give even more power to the rich resulting normal, working-class people have even less bargaining power.

- Ethics: Using copyrighted works without permission is what most genAI tools are based on. - Values around human creativity: AI tools are great at automating things where people express themselves through art (images, video, writing), so less people will get paid for doing those.

Compared to to other tech changes, AI has also multiple different sources for critique: - Job security: People are worried about the future of their profession. - Resistance to change: Ever tried to get a 20-year Java engineer to adopt a new programming language? AI is this, but 10x.

Not sure if it's just 5% AI hypers and 5% AI critics. More hypers probably post on X and more critics here. At least where I work, most people don't have strong opinions and engineers are adopting Copilot/Cursor at a steady pace. Everyone is already using ChatGPT.

Not sure if intentional, but answering requires a Google login, which adds some friction on mobile (in app browser windows)

Mistral’s Le Chat is often great with images, but this is hard, even when explicitly asking for the door to be open

Today, we’re deprecating Create React App for new apps, and encouraging existing apps to migrate to a framework. We’re also providing docs for when a framework isn’t a good fit for your project, or you prefer to start by building a framework. react.dev/blog/2025/02...

I've been using VS Code + GitHub copilot for probably a year and recently switched to cursor. Haven't yet had great success with the refactors, but chat has been good and the auto-completes are slightly better.

If you name it as ”exportedType Members” the caveat would be clear. Having it as a separate rule could make sense even in the long run. I’m more interested/worried about what the ”false positives” mentioned in the docs are? If I can’t trust the output, I can’t add the rule to the CI/CD pipeline.

I mean, it sounds like a great solution to funding OSS. $9.99 for an amazing skin for my webpack build?

Natural gas is mostly used in industry. Oil used to be common in home heating, but now it’s mostly electricity (with different types of heat pumps) or district heating (in cities).

Heat pumps are ubiquitous in Finland. These marvelous beasts can save you 2/3 of your heating bill.

Haven’t used Notion’s AI tool much. If I write long-form (like blog post drafts), I’ll enable Grammarly for the Notion page.
