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

We have the most powerful personal computers ever at home and in our pockets yet we use them mostly as gloried terminals to Big Tech mainframes

#jj-vcs has completely transformed how I work with git (in the best way). It’s worth your time to experiment with it.

Are we training the systems that will replace us? In this DBBD clip, @ethanmarcotte.com explains how automation doesn't replace jobs overnight, it reshapes them. First you supervise the AI. Then your role is devalued. designobserver.com/compassionat...

Been trying to just build some side stuff. And that’s fun, of course, but I haven’t made any money in a while, and in a few weeks my credits gonna run out. I’d be on the street already if not for a supportive partner. Things are looking grim, but I just can’t bring myself to apply to burger flip.

Interesting to see some of the library docs I use regularly are starting to incorporate their own llms.txt.

β€œI must consult with my court” says the king. In the empty court is a great machine, and about it many masks. He asks a question of his war counselor, and the machine assumes one mask. He asks the advice of his treasurer, and the machine assumes another. In every voice, it lies. He does not notice.

Fellow #fullstack #web eng: are you using much AI for development yet? Tried full on vibe coding? What tools/services have you used (how often, and to what success)?

There's definitely enough there already that I'm planning to move away from Figma (who just raised prices) when my billing cycle ends. You can't beat free (for single professionals anyways) / self-host-able!

Penpot is looking pretty good! While there are a couple of small things missing that I'm used to in Figma (*cough* component variants), I have confidence they're building in the right direction.
