Someone needs to rebuild Arc. How hard could it be to fork Zen and replace Firefox with Chromium? 🤔

Seeing a lot of hype/controversy around TOON. I’ve noticed a strong correlation between those dismissing TOON and having #opentowork on their LinkedIn. Hot take: It’s too early to evaluate the long-term utility of TOON. Those not giving it a chance now are just cosplaying as pragmatic engineers.

Cursor's Composer model really flies in agent mode and the results are pretty accurate.
This feels like a critical shift in my dev workflow. I'm now reaching for agents at least twice as often, and it's always Composer.

I don't think there's a single release from GitHub Universe that doesn't involve AI 🤖
Shoving AI into every feature seems like a waste of compute for the value gained.

I haven't seen Decorators discussed as an alternative to directives so I've drafted some thoughts here: gist.github.com/davejsdev/1e...
Might write up a more detailed blog post about it unless this is just a bad idea.

I use Tailwind on nearly every project now. Not because I like it, but because LLMs like it.

I often wonder about the bias of tech entrepreneurs towards only solving problems in tech. There’s such an over-saturation of companies building CMSs, productivity apps, DB-as-service, auth-as-service, etc. meanwhile it’s rare to find great software products for customers outside of tech.

Gleam sponsorship has dropped in the last 2 months.
We are free of any corporate control, but this means sponsorship is vital to pay the core team!
Please consider sponsoring Gleam, or any of the maintainers. Just a few dollars a month makes a difference.

Found my Gatsby socks in the back of my closet yesterday. What ever happened to tech companies making socks??
I need whimsical tech socks for modern tools! I’m very out of fashion right now.

As a tailwind hater, the biggest thing pushing me towards using @tailwindcss.com is how well AI agents are trained on it.
It’s allowed me to do so many refactors on a massive spaghetti code frontend that wouldn’t have been worth my time otherwise.

How regularly do you contemplate leaving the tech industry and living in the woods like a hermit?
For me it's about once a year. I feel like that's a healthy amount. 🙂
