Jake Wharton refuses to code with AI. When he left Cash App, he published nine requirements for his next job. Number one was: No AI. Our full conversation with the legendary Android developer is out now: layoffs, AI, Google and Kotlin in 2026.

Just in a constant state of existential dread because of AI. Does anyone write code anymore? Does anyone even read the output and try to understand it? I'm losing my mind. Why have we collectively just given up thinking and learning? *continues to yell at clouds *

Every week I get asked by the iRobot app how it's going. I don't know, man. This thing gets stuck on nothing twice a week. You tell me.

I've been revisiting C++ lately after not being in this space for like 15 years, and holy hell is the JavaScript comm spoiled. I'm using Qt and I'm still having to hand write things I feel like could have been taken care of by the framework or a library. It's good for me. I gotta re-learn.

Yeah, I'd say I've become a fan of Hazbin Hotel recently. I need more Keith David and Blake Roman songs please and thank you.

100% agree with this. Back in the angular 2 days, I'd often just skip writing tests because it was such a pain to get things sorted in such a way for them to work. When everything is just a function, it's so much easier to test things.

If anyone is looking for the solution, there's a bit in the Astro docs on this. docs.astro.build/en/guides/im... TLDR - markdown files can't use img tags for auto image optimization. You gotta use the ![]() syntax.

Totally feel this. Casey Muratori did an interview with JetBrains a few weeks ago that echoes a lot of this. I've noticed significant skill atrophy from co-workers that have relied so heavily on copilot and other AI things. I'm sad to see so many rob themselves of the joy of coding.

The fact that it looks so good and loads so quickly just makes me that much more excited to get it when it ships (hopefully soon 🤞)

I wasn't expecting to waste a whole weekend devoted to getting docker setup on my raspberry pi, hosting nextjs apps and more on it. But I did. It's done now, at least lol. Anyone else gone through similar? Or is there something cool I should be hosting on my home server?

Do you have any recommendations for that sort of thing? I've been using Astro lately because I like the templating and the DX, but I'm curious what else people are using.

Oh, interesting. I was unaware. I haven't used it in a long time so I always thought everyone left because it became so common. Like every website was a bootstrap website. Kinda like how nowadays every website is a shadcn site lol

I honestly don't know why everyone left bootstrap. It got the job done. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just finished it, and it's been, perhaps oddly, comforting knowing someone else has gone through a similar journey. It was cathartic in many ways, and I enjoyed it all the way through.

Perhaps a rant for another time, but the thing that bothers me is that we're expected to be highly skeptical and highly critical on literally everything. Why is the burden always on the consumer? Why can't businesses just be trustworthy? Living like this is exhausting.
