I decided to write my own 🦞bot rather than get hacked. Please don't hack me. standardpixel.com/blog/2026/02...

Kevin Roose on The Daily: AI co workers at top AI companies now "supervise agents, set them off toward tasks, go get lunch and come back and the work is done." True for people making prototypes and hobby projects. Not the signal to use when staffing teams or planning careers today.

The only taboo left is copyright infringement Read to the end for a magical sounding supermarket freezer aisle

This issue of GarbageDay made me start to consider the possibility that NOFX "You can't play this song on the radio" is a blueprint for art in the AI age. Add poison pills to your art. www.garbageday.email/p/the-only-t...

We’ve come to a point where the only thing in the premise of Fallout that’s hard to believe is the zombies and their ability to find and access their wonder-drug

We’re in the golden era of writing personal tool code

Crazy idea, but hear me out: What if this technology is amazing but not in the way some thought and it was a mistake to stop hiring entry level talent for the last few years.

I’d say Ricky Gervais is more of a nihilism advocate than a comedian at this point

Violence is never acceptable, but bullying has a way of summoning it. So tired of people don’t see the connection between “owning the libs” and political violence. Take some responsibility.

I can’t believe in all of this time we still haven’t found a better way to market on the internet than blocking the thing you came to see with something else a moment after you load the page.

Just read a thing about how the song “Home” is the prime example of what GenZ calls “Millennial Cringe” and… fair

We so often mistake confidence for genius

I need to start remembering to plan summer around the second, third, and fourth weeks being destroyed by what ever is going around summer camp

The IRS has digital and paper paths to the same record for you. It could take months or days for information to get reconciled. Your on-time payment might be flagged late, triggering interest and penalties, scary letters. They’ll eventually catch their mistake and refund you. But oof.

Remember LA? What ever happened there?

As gas prices go up, wouldn’t it be nice if your car used a fuel which could be generated by what ever is cheap and available at any given time?

Sending a cold email to someone with over 20 years of experience, who is clear about their lack of a degree on LinkedIn and their CV, expressing your interest in talking to them, but stating that a BS degree is a requirement, should be a crime

Back in my day summer vacation meant staying up to watch Tales from the Dark side until KTLA went off the air. Not this Ticky tok nonsense

It’s depressing to see how many people are falling for this nonsense. This was the moment we were all warned about

Over a long enough timespan, every successful ego-maniacal entrepreneur will tank their previous success building an “everything app.”

Mozilla: We are buying Pocket
Also Mozilla: We’ve decided to shut down Pocket

The electoral college is a DEI program

They want to stop immigration, but are worried about population collapse. They have stopped allowing all refugees, except for white South Africans. Can they say it any clearer?

The guy who just said tarrif policies will mean your kids will have fewer dolls this year used the same tariff negotiations to get himself a “palace in the sky” as a “gift”. If Democrats can’t use this to their advantage, I don’t know what to do with them.

ClaudeCode is a much better interface than any of the built-in editor agent interfaces I’ve used

It’s amazing to see all of the GDP charts aiming down next to the quote “I’ve just gotten started”

I had one of those moments in making software where nothing worked. I had a deadline. Then at 1am, I got it. I love my job, but those nights age you, It’s worth it for the creative days where things come together. As pay and autonomy erode, I wonder how many people would choose to do this job
