“… sometimes the coding agent gets things wrong, but that is revealed immediately…” I’m curious about the belief all coding errors show up immediately. I propose the situation is more similar to fields like architecture, construction, medicine, etc. where catastrophic problem can hide for weeks.

Thinking about this more… I guess if the alternative to “free market” is “regulated market”, I agree with you because the shortage was not provoked by the government. However, I think I am pushing back on drawing conclusions based on potentially-unsustainable conditions. (ex: sub-prime mortgages)

AI is largely considered to be a bubble that cannot (currently) sustain itself. Shortages driven by irrational/unsustainable behavior do not feel like they should be called free market forces to me.

David Anson @davidanson.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

“The harsh truth is that the free market has decided that the components that go into consumer tech are so valuable…” Conventional wisdom is that consumer tech components – like memory and storage – have skyrocketed in price exclusively due to AI buildout. Premature to call that “free market”, IMO.

At some point after the release of 5, they broke the behavior of my wheel. That wheel still works great in 4, but 5 was unplayable even months later when I checked for a patch (XBOX, BTW). IIRC, the sensitivity was cranked to 11, so precision was impossible. Bummer because I love the Forza series!

As an experiment, could you use Task Manager to give high priority affinity to the running process and see if it behaves better? Or prove that scheduling is NOT the problem?

David Anson @davidanson.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

I think I read that on Mac/iOS scheduling to power/efficiency cores is based on process/thread priority level. Maybe something like that?

Fair point, though I think it glosses over something significant: error rate. Reputable newspapers (or blogs like your own!) publish retractions when they get a fact wrong. But that’s a rare event. LLMs hallucinate by design and that’s a common event. The “trustability level” is wildly different.

Not so easy if you want them to preserve tab stops, perhaps. :)

Interesting! In the meantime, I had realized a simple way to improve this with just a tiny bit of CSS. I made a note to look at that when I get a chance.

David Anson @davidanson.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

I remembered why I didn’t do that in the first place! Old posts are fully HTML vs. newer posts which are Markdown and pass code blocks through a highlighter during render. There’s no render step for old posts to give an opportunity to reformat those samples. And static edits wouldn’t be theme-aware.

David Anson @davidanson.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

Sorry! Older posts use hard-coded HTML for light theme. That shouldn’t be the case with newer posts which use highlight.js. For example: dlaa.me/blog/post/ic... I’ve made myself a note to see if it’s safe to remove the formatting from old stuff and let the auto-highlight code handle colorizing.

Only Administrators members should be able to write there, so it seems like they run their service as Admin OR they relax privileges. Both are anti-patterns, I think.

How did you convince the police officer that your bike was yours? Being able to unlock your lock should not have been enough. You could’ve added that to a legitimately-locked bike right before you contacted the officer.

Bro, I *always* got my mind on my money and my money on my mind. ;)

110

David Anson @davidanson.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

I’ll stop after this reply because I don’t want to be arguing just for the sake of it. :) But regarding reputation, I’ve been in the npm ecosystem for maybe a decade now and there are a literal handful of developers whose stuff I will use unconditionally. Everything and everyone else is a mystery.

110

David Anson @davidanson.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Unpopular doesn’t mean bad, though. Perhaps by design, this approach risks discouraging or preventing the creation of niche packages for a small community. Some of the joys of OSS may disappear once people are forced to focus on money. But maybe that’s the only solution to the problem at hand…

100

David Anson @davidanson.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

It doesn’t have to be as extreme as my examples to be imbalanced. As an alternative, consider what “npm fund“ does: as a project owner, I get a listing of all transitive dependencies looking for funding. I end up paying exactly the set of projects I’m benefiting from and not just the top level ones.

100

David Anson @davidanson.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

No easy answers here, but thought it might be useful to share with you. I hope this is helpful and doesn’t just seem like complaining. Thanks again for all that you do!

David Anson @davidanson.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Conversely, if I have an unpopular package that uses 100 popular packages, I have to run a massive deficit every month while they cash in? Neither seems equitable.

200

David Anson @davidanson.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

The transitive-ness is unclear to me. If I have a wildly popular package that trivially wraps another and I’m the only user of that, I get all the maintenance fees and they get only $10/month?

200

David Anson @davidanson.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Enforcement is unclear. For projects that already enable GitHub sponsors, what drives the change to suddenly inspire everybody donate? The documentation suggests replacing the current license (MIT) with your EULA file, but I’m not sure that’s semantically correct or will be recognized by tooling.

David Anson @davidanson.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Rob, super interesting stuff, thank you for doing this! Some quick thoughts from a maintainer: When your site says “JS”, it means “Node.js”. Nitpick, sorry, but relevant for non-Node folks… In the Node ecosystem, the following command exists and seems relevant: docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/comm... 1/
