Propositions LL and MM passed here in Colorado which means free school meals for all kids regardless of financial need and it allows for any excess to be used to support SNAP
Supporters of Propositions MM and LL declare victory
The two measures increase funding for Colorado’s universal free school meals program and could bolster SNAP, too.

One of the toughest transitions from mid to senior dev was that I know I *can* do a bunch of stuff I probably *shouldn't* do, but there are fewer people to say hey that's a terrible idea.

This! LLMs are not systems thinkers, the humans who are systems thinkers are more valuable than ever
Your ability to understand complex systems and describe nuanced problems is at an all-time premium. Deeply understand your context, communicate the details clearly, and drive toward good solutions.
That’s always been the job for designers, engineers, and PMs. But now it’s much more important.

Avoid forcing users to memorize information. For example, use field labels instead of placeholder text. Placeholder text disappears when users begin typing. This forces them to memorize placeholder text or delete information so they can see placeholders again.
