My son got a book about secretary birds and we went to YouTube to find a video to watch how they hunted snakes and...my god, it's just AI slop EVERYWHERE. "Educational" content that is completely overrun with fake AI videos. YouTube is cooked.

Hire Junior Employees
Abandoning junior roles in your company is a life-or-death bet that AI will eventually replace ALL roles.

You MUST go and read Warren Buffet's final letter to shareholders as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Seriously - take 15 minutes, grab a cup of coffee or tea, print it out, and read it. chambers.io/blog/2025/11...

The Stars are Aligned: 2026 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop
We’ve been joking about “the year of Linux on the desktop” for three decades now, but it really does feel like the stars are aligned for 2026 to be that year. For it to finally grab a non-niche market...

One of the best things about being a homeowner is that you get to fix all kinds of random shit. It's really interesting to understand the engineering behind common things you may have otherwise never thought about. Fixing real, physical things makes our monkey brains feel good.

Enough is enough. After work today I am cancelling all except one streaming service in this house and we are just going to rotate that one service around. I just did the math on what we're paying for all of these things and IT'S ABSOLUTELY FUCKING BANANAS.

Y'all the Final Fantasy Tactics remake is awesome. The voice actors BROUGHT IT for this game. It's like a stage play.

I guess it's not totally fair to blame the WASM folks. This really is going to take Google/Apple/Microsoft/Mozilla to agree to standardize on a low level DOM API that is abstracted away from javascript.

Dakota Chambers @chambers.io · 17/09/2025
> WASM 3.0 is out Congrats. Now can someone PLEASE bring some sanity to the WASM project and start pushing for direct manipulation of the DOM API? I would LOVE to be able to update the DOM in a language that isn't Javascript.

Would love one in Madison (or elsewhere in southern Wisconsin). Last year's Madison+ Ruby was so much fun! Chicago is close but the timing this year just didn't work. Chicago is a good choice though - great city!

Just listened to @jremsikjr.bsky.social on the Remote Ruby podcast with @excid3.com - XO Ruby sounds like it's going to be an incredible time. Small conferences are the best! I hope everyone that made it to Chicago loved it. Starting to recover from my Rails World FOMO and now I've got XO Ruby FOMO

Parenting protip: keep a small towel in your stroller for wiping down wet slides or swings at the park. Signed: the guy that just used his shirt to dry off several slides only for his daughter to not go down any of them.

I needed to bulk update some properties. It's not a native feature that Obsidian has. I didn't even need to look for a plugin to do it - I just used good 'ol sed. Thirty seconds and I'm on my way. chambers.io/blog/2025/09...

Why I Love Obsidian: Hackability
I use Obsidian as my primary note-taking tool. There’s so much I love about it: It’s fast. It’s local-first. It’s run by a small team with a focus on being a sustainable business. It’s got lots of plu...

The best feature of @obsidian.md is the inherent hackability. You can do whatever you want with your notes because *everything* is literally just a plain text file on your computer. Write tiny scripts to automate stuff. Pipe the contents to other programs. Solve your own problems.

Nothing worse than finding a podcast you love. Learning all kinds of new things. Thinking the hosts are the best. Until suddenly they start confidently talking about a subject you're an expert in and you realize you've been listening to a group of idiots.

GitHub Pages not adopting Jekyll 4+ was a huge blow to the Jekyll ecosystem 🙁 I'm glad they are starting to recommend people use GitHub Actions for building Jekyll sites instead of using the legacy GitHub Pages build system.

Bases in @obsidian.md are sooo good. Time to rip out all of my old dataview queries and random tables and convert. Just need obsidian publish support for bases and then we're really cooking with gas.

👋 Hello fellow now.garden -er! I'm definitely a bit heavy into SF/Fantasy right now but I trying my best to keep some variety. My #1 bookish predicament is that when I see a big book I decide I MUST read it. The bigger the door stopper the better.

I am loving Mario Kart World so far, but why is the "Free Roam" gameplay mode just shoved down in the bottom right corner like an afterthought?

Yes agreed! I never upgraded my launch era switch to an OLED so it's a HUGE jump in quality. It's comparable to my steam deck OLED screen IMO.

The gang's all here! First impressions: the Switch 2 is MUCH more premium feeling than the original Switch. The magnetic joycons are amazing.

If AI kills the leetcode interview I take back everything bad I ever said about it. Leetcode was always a horrible way to figure out who is actually good at building maintainable products. It only rewards those with the free time to study and memorize algorithmic problems.

Trump blatantly and illegally manipulates the market today. Literally says "GREAT DAY TO BUY" hours before calling for a pause on tariffs causing the market to spike. And we're gonna go through this whole thing again in 90 days because no one in congress has the guts to stop him

It's unsustainable to have a mad king that can influence the stock market +/- 10% with a single executive order. What is to prevent him from repeating this ad nauseam so him + his rich friends can buy low and sell high endlessly?

Every company and retailer that is increasing prices due to tariffs needs to make it a line item on the receipt. Make sure customers know exactly why the price has gone up.

The Switch 2 pricing seems right in line with what I expected. Steam Deck is $400-$650. Other high-end handhelds are even higher - ROG Ally X is $800. I am not sure why people are freaking out.

Download play making a return on the Switch 2 is an awesome feature that no one seems to be talking about. I used Download Play on the DS ALL THE TIME!

I am amazed how well my eight year old launch-era Nintendo Switch is holding up. An eight year old phone or tablet feels damn near unusable - slowing way down due to software updates that push it beyond it's original specs and horrible battery life. Just that Nintendo magic.

Love it. Edit predictions, while powerful, can be extremely distracting if you're "in the flow" and just want to keep going. Big change IMO for those of us that just can't vibe with "vibe coding"
