We would do away with most of our problems, if we simply banned algorithmic timelines.

Incredible. Also, incredibly dumb. 😅
I love it.

BritCSS fixes #CSS to use "non-bastardised" spellings using English (traditional) spellings for CSS properties, rather than English (simplified).

I would love to work with a designer who understands the web.

API documentation as MS Word document. I had almost forgotten that this part of the internet also existed.

AI will stagnate software development if there are no more humans feeding it innovative and creative new ideas.

The main drawback of @generatepress.com is the mouse-first nature. When I'm coding, I rarely touch my mouse. In the block editor with GP, I constantly have to move between keyboard and mouse.

I wish @jetbrains.com would either offer a community version of Qodana for PHP or remove the three-contributor-limit from the Ultimate edition.

BBC just released damning research on AI assistants' news accuracy.

Results: 51% of AI responses had significant issues. 19% introduced errors when citing BBC. 13% misquoted or made up BBC content entirely. 🤐🤐

This is not surprising at all: When the AI generates language loaded with confidence and implying deep knowledge, it's easy to fall into trust and start assuming it's doing good work. Less effort in doing something means you spend less energy paying attention.

Maybe it's age, maybe it's the times, but it definitely resonates.
What’s it called when you don’t have Impostor Syndrome, but you’re worried that maybe there just isn’t a place for you anymore?

I know full-well what I’m capable of, the value I have brought and can bring, but maybe it doesn’t matter.

The researchers also found that “users with access to GenAI tools produce a less diverse set of outcomes for the same task [...] and thus can be interpreted as a deterioration of critical thinking.”

I have experienced this to some level and I think it's only going to get worse.

The domain market is totally messed up. Are there any .com domains left that don't have a minimum bid of $50.000 for a parked domain that never had content?

The free market has never solved anything.

@jetbrains.com are there plans to introduce branching in AI chats? I regularly find myself wanting to have a little aside in without losing nor amending the context.
