I regret to inform everyone that our dog escaped our property last night, broke in to our neighbours' house, and ate their dinner. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve eating the rest of our neighbours' pantry until his motives become apparent.

The increasing number of LLM Bots (aka "AI Agents") creating PRs on GitHub is worrying. They are taking away time from open-source maintainers who are already time-strapped. But what's the best strategy to fight them? Block and report? Or demand endlessly complex tweaks to exhaust their resources?

Engaging in mental gymnastics to justify what's convenient but unevidenced, unjust but personally beneficial, 'rewires your neural map' in ways that degrade your overall ability to understand and analyze the world around you, which is a precondition for intelligence and creativity.

the new (beta) @penpot.app renderer is such a huge improvement. snappier in a 100-tab browser window from hell than the Figma desktop app with a single file open. i know i keep saying this but if you design for the web and you haven't tried penpot you owe it to yourself to give it a whirl.

Every Layout is a reference I use daily. Complete CSS was a great level-up. Mindful Design is priceless. Andy's work, and by extension the Piccalilli team, delivers knowledge that will be with you for the rest of your life, not just until the next framework appears. I can't recommend it enough.

I've got a 19-year history with Ruby on Rails but in less than two weeks my view on the framework has completely changed. Working with it just feels icky right now. A great time to embrace newer, more inclusive alternatives like @hanamirb.org and @luckyframework.org. I'm already enjoying the change.
