I know the AI echo chamber is a thing, but I also talk AI in real life (like today on a trail run) with others in software/tech. AI adoption is everywhere in software. Big and small companies. Private and public.

Slop is the opinion that anyone using em dashes had a klanker write it.

I watch that every few months. YouTube somehow just delivers it to me (along with Jackson Browne’s Late for the Sky on ACL).

Hope you're healing. For your safety, you should send that drum machine to me.

Students learn better when they can see their progress. That's not a new idea. But applying it to debugging—where everything is abstract—took some creativity. Here's how I made invisible work visible. ryanirelan.com/2026/01/11/t...

Prices will probably go up, but even if they double it’s still an insanely good value if you know how to use the tools.

High touch work that brings people real value is always the future, and it will be once AI settles in as the norm. I’ve seen it happen in consulting work where companies resist working with a large, bloated agency and its multiple levels of people and instead opt for a small team.

@aaronfrancis.com Enjoyed the latest episode. I’ve been creating/selling screencasts since 08 through a publisher, a la carte and as subs. Happy to share anything I’ve learned or just banter about online training. I’ve struggled with some of the same stuff re product market fit. @ianlandsman.com

Did it take ChatGPT and other AI tools to demonstrate proper punctuation and grammar? Now proper grammar is seen as a sign of "AI slop"?

"As a programmer, my reaction could be that I don’t want to be replaced by AI, but...I actually don’t like writing code. I like building products, and it turns out you have to write code to do that. Making sure we’re building the right thing will always be more important than the code itself." 🔥🔥🔥🔥
