We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.
Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

If news outlets are gonna report that a third of the people ICE kidnapped in LA this past week had criminal records, the least they can do is add the context that 1 in 3 of ALL American adults have a criminal record. It's the number you'd expect if ICE was NOT targeting people with criminal records.

I like this term "Agentic Engineering" so much more, and their definition and approach to using AI in coding. "Vibe Coding" just reminds me way too much of Stack Overflow copy pasta method of "coding"

I really enjoyed this thoughtful piece on why there are so many JavaScript frameworks. Yes it's a pain, but there is a good look at how and why we got here, and why we still stick with React vs Vue, or Next.js all the things.

The new frameworks will continue until morale improves.

If I had to start over learning to code in 2025 do you know what I would start with?
The same thing I started with in the beginning.
- HTML
- CSS

Do you know why even in this world of AI headlines?

Good news: Twitter is collapsing.
And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history.
There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social.
If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.

Okay ONE MORE TIME:
"Kamala Harris" is a *perfect* rhyme for "Anomalocaris," the predatory arthropod that roamed the oceans 500 million years ago—in case anyone wants to start working on that campaign song.
Guaranteed hit!
C'mon, People!!
