Sliwa repeats the bullshit billionaires handout excuses about HQ2 — in truth, refusing to give them those billions of dollars was *exactly* the right call, and Amazon ended up hiring *more* people in NYC than they would have under that plan anyway! #NYCMayoralDebate

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

One of the things I'm wondering most about this is IPO'ing creating a conflict between driving more resources into AI features, but AI features kind of eating their own lunch. Automating away your employees (problematic) is very different than automating away your users (very problematic).

In the pre-LLM era, I would tell junior devs to try to fix something by themselves for an hour before reaching out for help. Now I'd worry that would seem like a total waste of time, and the junior dev's productivity would be critiqued.

I’m loath to share interviews with myself, but I really had a wonderful time sitting down with Ellen McGirt over at @designobserver.com. We spoke about my (too short) time at 18F, about responsive design turning 15, and about the urgent need for collective action — and, yes, unions — in tech.

Harvard University Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Harvard rolled out a new website alongside its rejection of the admin’s terms. Some people have been working very hard! Kudos.

I'm guessing this is implicit and deliberate comment by whoever does the web layout?

Like… I helped him write his speech on Silicon Valley extremism that explicitly laid out what Thiel and Musk and all these dudes wanted to do, and he delivered it *at Stanford* and… folks didn’t pay it much mind. What are they imagining is gonna happen now with them in power? Magic pixie dust?

The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 — a rise they attribute to AI crawlers.

AI companies are killing the open web by stealing visitors from the sources of information and making them pay for the privilege
