This feels like MORE WORK
FOR MOTHER by Ruth Schwartz Cowan, which explored the irony that many of the technical advances in housework and the kitchen did nothing to ease the burden on women but instead increased it.
myth: LLM-assisted coding means everyone is forced to use The Popular Framework forever
reality: agents will happily migrate your entire app to The Good Framework
inertia is a powerful drug but we are entering a world without moats, plan accordingly

"Junior and mid-level engineers will now require more senior engineers to sign off any AI-assisted changes”
This is the part that turns me into the Joker. They have outages, they're making more engineers spend time on reviews and STILL nobody's asking "is this actually a net productivity gain?"
I've spent the past couple months hand crafting a new B-tree map implementation for Go. It's fast. Faster than Rust's BTreeMap. Faster than the fastest C++ (frozenca/btree). And about 2x faster than my current Go btree (tidwall/btree).
i really don't care about using AI to ship more stuff
it's really hard to come up with stuff worth shipping
i want to ship the same amount of stuff with higher quality both in product and code
my ideal future is not one where tech makes everyone go faster but one where everyone has the freedom to slow down
hearing “thanks to AI we now have way bigger PRs, so we need to start using AI to review them” does not fill me with confidence
A developer on Blind says coworkers now ship in an hour what used to take days (3 or 5 story points) thanks to Claude Code.
There’s pressure to move so fast you barely understand the code and feel like the bottleneck versus the AI.
This is going to create an interesting fallout across the industry
One of my favourite @neovim.io features just got better. The incremental selection doesn't need third-party plugins anymore, and it is based on Treesitter first, and only falls back to LSP when needed. This is going to land soon as part of the 0.12 release.

JavaScript code snippet lists an inventory of items with names, types, and quantities, demonstrating `Object.groupBy()` functionality.
Stop writing reduce() just to group an array ✋
`Object.groupBy()` works on all major browsers, helping you group array elements by any key in one line.
Clean, readable, no dependencies.

I was fixing debouncing problems in a global search component. AI couldn't figure it out, multiple tries, attempting weird hacks.
Jumped in, debugged rendering cycles, found an unmemoized component at the top of the tree, causing full page re-renders. One-line fix.
Take that, LLMs.
Wondering what LLMs you can actually run on your hardware? 🤔

Quote from Dave Rapin, Foundar at Curling IO: “BEAM was the killer feature. None of these other options came close to what the BEAM VM offers: rock-solid concurrency, fault tolerance, and proven scalability. Gleam gives us BEAM on the backend with familiar functional patterns on the frontend, all in a single language.
They were looking for:
- Type safety
- Massive concurrency
- Functional patterns
- Shared types
- Proven at scale
And Gleam checked every box!

I've genuinely lost count of the media layoffs since my own just a month and a half ago. Probably the worst I've ever seen this job market in my entire life. Dozens upon dozens of freelancers, staff writers stretched to the brink, and more and more independent sites struggling to scrape by.

With Google starting to close Android more and more, this is something to keep an eye on
we'd be so screwed if the companies replacing software engineers could build software
LLMs are conditioning an entire generation of programmers to sell themselves short; to make themselves believe they're not capable of a doing better and faster job than the LLM when in fact it's actually very achievable to work better/faster than an LLM if you're willing to wean yourself off of it
I hope it all go es well
AI seems to not know about the nullish operators.
Which means humans don't know about the assignment operators 😱
Lemme save you all so much typing:
The best thing you can do in light of the Ellison takeover of Warner Brothers invest your time, energy, and money in supporting independent creators and independent distribution networks and independent venues. It is absolutely crucial to make independence a viable option.
I've been a big fan of SQLite for a long, long time. It's an incredibly useful and powerful database that fits wonderfully for so many things (many of them outside of traditional DB uses). This excellent article by @antonz.org just reminded me of how powerful it is. #SQLite #Database #DB #OpenSource
"We don't actually view AI investment as strongly growth positive," said Goldman Sachs chief economist, Jan Hatzius, during a recent interview. "We think there's been a lot of misreporting of the impact that AI investment had on GDP growth in 2025, and it's much smaller than it's often perceived."
The Sanitizer API landed in Firefox 148, along with element.setHTML().
This lets you fully configure how HTML strings are cleaned as they're parsed.

those tech people who do advocate for slowing down, being critical, or refusing to adopt it are routinely misrepresented as wanting to stick their head in the sand, it's not good
