Sliwa repeats the bullshit billionaires handout excuses about HQ2 — in truth, refusing to give them those billions of dollars was *exactly* the right call, and Amazon ended up hiring *more* people in NYC than they would have under that plan anyway! #NYCMayoralDebate

Today, I asked @anthropic.com's Claude to profile me based on my coding style and preferences, and the result was pretty amusing! 🤭

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

One of the things I'm wondering most about this is IPO'ing creating a conflict between driving more resources into AI features, but AI features kind of eating their own lunch. Automating away your employees (problematic) is very different than automating away your users (very problematic).
I wish more people built things with the end goal of helping people, rather than the end goal of getting acquired or going public.

In the pre-LLM era, I would tell junior devs to try to fix something by themselves for an hour before reaching out for help. Now I'd worry that would seem like a total waste of time, and the junior dev's productivity would be critiqued.

I’m loath to share interviews with myself, but I really had a wonderful time sitting down with Ellen McGirt over at @designobserver.com. We spoke about my (too short) time at 18F, about responsive design turning 15, and about the urgent need for collective action — and, yes, unions — in tech.
New DBBD episode: @ethanmarcotte.com talks responsive design 15 years on, why he left 18F, the ethics of AI, and how compassionate design and tech labor organizing can shape a better future. Listen to the full episode out now. 🔗
Compassionate Design, Career Advice and Leaving 18F with Designer Ethan Marcotte - DesignObserver
