I worked the HTML mines in the 90’s so I’ve seen some shit.
I develop .NET web apps for a living. Blazor, SSR, and HTMX are my current favourites.

I have discovered I can report the authors as AI and block them.
They may be legit, but authors signing up in the last 9 months pumping out an article every day since? I don’t think so.

The cost, the amount that leaves a dev’s bank account, is strangely never mentioned by all the AI proponents.
They are either not paying the bill themselves or they are hiding an unpalatable truth.

I signed up for a Medium account to read a bunch of articles on a given topic (@htmx.org) and I’m pretty sure the vast majority are AI output.
They all follow similar story arcs (“I replaced React with HTMX and everyone cheered”)
Super, super, disappointing.

“One Battle After Another” was a great watch.
The cold open is pretty full-on, even disorienting, but stick with it. The cat chase scenes in the desert are awesome.
Sean Penn’s character is just so loathsome and sad in equal measure.
Very contemporary with what is going on the USA right now.

Every time I read an opinion piece by convicted fraudster Damian Grant, I regret it e.g.
“Covid, like our first schoolyard crush, never happened. Move on.”

For years we’d been doing the complexity approach to points and it was always converted to time by mangwment at some point.
So, I convinced our team to just start estimating in time - .5, 1, 2, 3, 5 days etc.
It instantly removed ambiguity between the layers.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I was largely unmoved by the F1 movie. Drive To Survive has more drama and intrigue. The movie just felt like Top Gun on wheels.
