Green Lung - “This Heathen Land” album review I discovered Green Lung in late 2023, right after the release of This Heathen Land. I was immediately blown away by the music and lyrics on this album. Not only that, I'm a sucker…

The idea that anyone will be “left behind” because of their particular skills and experience, and become “irrelevant” is revolting.

“Individuals and interactions over processes and tools”

Those words matter now more than ever.

LLMs turn your job into mostly code review, a task everyone famously loves to do and is good at

I’ve now gone on a bit of an expedition - collecting screenshots of mentions and links from developers, companies, and experts around the world. I’m putting together a small collage showing all the different languages people have used to talk about it 😍

Ana Rodrigues' comment on State of CSS website that links to my Fluid Typography tool and says "My 2025 Pick: Font Clamp Generators. My pick of the year is all the font clamp generators that people have been creating and sharing. What’s great about them is that they are all so different so it accommodates different learning styles. Especially, if reading documentation alone doesn’t help understanding how something works."

Somehow, a little project I launched & forgot about in 2022 has been quietly gaining traction over the years. I only just discovered that @ohhelloana.blog mentioned it in State of CSS 2025. Thank you!

It makes me so happy to see how much love and appreciation my tiny weekend project has received 🥲

I've redesigned the page from scratch using similar aesthetic and color scheme that I like. I've upgraded Astro, added RSS, dynamic OG image generation, and lots of other face-melting features.

I've been quiet lately, but I've been working on resurrecting my mighty side-project thehorns.club as my personal music blog 🤘

I'll be writing reviews, opinion pieces, interviews and share my interesting CD/LP finds.

Let's take back the Internet, one blog at the time. No ads, no popups, no bs!

Your work on the Heathen Land album was superb. It’s my favorite album of 2023.

I’m really looking forward to hearing and seeing the new stuff! 💚🐐

Congrats, guys! That is awesome news 💚 Hope I'll be traveling again to London next year and seeing you live.

Also heads up, newsletter email ended up in my spam folder, so you guys might want ask your IT guys to check the email spam score and see what's up. I've whitelisted it so I don't miss 'em.

Keep your eyes open tomorrow, Monday 1st September, at 3pm BST, especially if you live in the UK. We’re about to drop one of the biggest announcements of our career so far… 👹 👁️ 🔥

Hey guys, just wanted to check in (4 months later, but don’t blame me - I had a wedding to plan 😅). I haven’t received an email, so I'm not sure if anything was supposed to come of it, so I'm following up just in case. Thanks and looking forward to new music 💚🤘🐐

GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. Thomas Dohmke wrote that humans are often resistant to change. He said that's okay, but these people should probably find another profession.

the "developers embrace AI or get out" rhetoric is so weak

produce a product that's actually good and ethical then maybe we'll be more on board

sure some devs are finding AI useful, but using it to gate keep? nah man

find another way to make the needle move, bro

I highly recommend checking out their discography, there are some awesome albums there. Standout track and my personal favorite from "Lightning strikes" is the hauntingly beautiful "Shadows of war (Ashes in the sky)" www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmHr...

This particular LP was Loudness thank-you gift to Saxon after the tour.

Loudness features guitar prodigy Akira Takasaki, known for his uniquely heavy, crunchy tone and incredible guitar solos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=REO-...

Loudness is a legendary Japanese heavy metal band, and this LP is really special. It comes from the collection of Graham Oliver, the guitarist of legendary British metal band Saxon. They toured Europe with Loudness in the 80s, around the time this album "Lightning Strikes" was released.

Loudness - Lightning strikes LP sleeve signed by band members with dedication to Saxon guitar player Graham Oliver - "To Graham, Domo Arigato!"

Nobody:

Adrian: LP time! It's been a while, hasn't it?

just a few more billion bro. its cool bro we just need a nuclear power plant. just a few more gpts bro, only a few more

What LLM boosters promise: a future where AI takes care of menial chores, and you can spend more time with loved ones

What the product actually does: talk to your loved ones for you so that you can focus on your menial chores

r/ChatGPTPro u/vurto • 28d If ChatGPT is not consistently dependable, how are we suppose to use it for actual work? Discussion It's behavior and results can randomly change due to some OpenAl tweaking that's opaque. On some days it can't even keep track of a fresh chat, it can't do calculations, it can't sort through a chat to extract relevant information, and when it's suppose to refer to source material in a PDF, it doesn't. All because OpenAl trained it for fluency and basically to simulate whatever it can for user satisfaction. I can use it for general chats, philosophical stuff, therapy, but nothing serious. I'm pro Al, but I approach it with skepticism knowing it's undependable (as I do with anything I read). And prompts can be interpreted/executed differently across users' own interaction with their Als so it's not truly scalable. How does the business world / leaders expect staff to adopt Al if it's not consistently dependable? It doesn't even calculate like a calculator. If the internet start claiming 2+2=5, that's what it'll answer with. I'd use it for hobbies and pet projects but I can't imagine using it for anything "mission critical".

You're so close

AI is a tool (sorry!) that people who are bad at their jobs will use badly and that people who are good at their jobs will maybe, possibly find some uses for. People who are terrible at their jobs (many executives), will tell their employees that they “need” to use AI, that their jobs depend on it, that they must become more productive, and that becoming an AI-first company is the strategy that will save them from the old failed strategy, which itself was the new strategy after other failed business models. The only journalism business strategy that works, and that will ever work in a sustainable way, is if you create something of value that people (human beings, not bots) want to read or watch or listen to, and that they cannot find anywhere else.

This is very good.

'I'm being paid to fix issues caused by AI' Businesses that rush to use AI to write content or computer code, often have to pay humans to fix it.

This will become more and more common — framework reliance-based problems were a big part of my CSS consulting — but I worry it’ll be too late for a lot of people.

I watched people jump and push to leave the plane on landing as soon as possible only for me to catch up to them in the luggage claim area 15 minutes later and wait another 10 minutes for the luggage to arrive 🤷 Every time.

Economics & labor rights in AI skepticism | Henry From Online The personal site & portfolio of creative web developer Henry from Online

put some thoughts together on the LLM trend and its implications for labor rights. there's a lot to be said about the lofty claims of pro-LLM technologists, but this presumes their promises of efficiency, etc. are true.
