Reposted by PKXIVBrett Codes @brettcodes.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin...

PKXIV @pkxiv.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Wouldn't it be messed up if there was two ways to write "é" in Unicode code points? 1) 'é' (0x00e9) 2) 'e' (0x0065) followed by '◌́' (0x0301) I mean, duh. But think of the consequences... you can write the same word with a different number of bytes, and completely different bytes. 100
