I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

My favorite indicator is simply to use the Web app, have a listing of items enough so I can get to many pages in. Optionally filter, re-order based on one of the columns. Hit reload and remain on the same page I was in. Click on one item to see details. Refresh, hit back and remain where I was.

Automation is cool, but there's no replacement for caring about what you do.

A frequent question I get when asking companies to sponsor ESLint is, "what will this get us?" That's one way to think of it. Another way is to think of it as backpay for all the years you've already been using ESLint without contributing.

And I’ve noticed, when I do discuss meta-cognition, that it makes people uncomfortable.

We’re bad judges of character, lots of bias, particularly positively towards ourselves. It’s soothing.

Tech continues to be political | Miriam Eric Suzanne And the politics aren't looking great

I have feelings about AI & the web & my experience being trans "in tech" in 2025 - so I screamed some thoughts onto my personal web log.

I hope for all of us a more queer & humane future. Keep building communities & dreaming better paths.

There can be some skew if you were too poor to afford one to legitimately represent your age.

I think that’s your pages like this that I started a section in my website refactor to host the common code-review comments I happen to be repeating.

I’m on a sabbatical of full time programming since 2022

I’m planning coming back, and do such notes; accessibility and custom elements.

That’s neat indeed!

This reminds me of a status I read from you on ActivityPub about a few years (already!) back with a system to do navigation based on sound emitters as a way to guide. It was an experiment that has been decommissioned and you were disappointed about it

Could you get it back?

How do you ask?

You use the voice command and ask the camera to recognize what it sees about it?

Or it’s a “smart-home” curtain with Home-Assistant or similar and you have curtains control?

Because I have the latter for a few windows at home
It’s real nice! But it’s a pain to install and maintain
