Hoping that AI mimics the way humans are intelligent is misguided. Artificial Intelligence is a different kind of intelligence, that probably should not be measured against ours. And it should not behave like ours.

Adding “?” to the end of a query in Kagi gives a GPT summary of the top results. As annoying as AI-hype is, combining lenses and GPT summaries is really powerful. I have a lens for tool documentation and can get fairly accurate answers really quickly. e.g. “!doclens BigQuery materialized views?”

What I'm seeing is that these two platforms, 🦋 and 𝕏, are each becoming an eco-chamber of different sides of the political spectrum. What good will it come from that?

If you’re not following Kurt already, you really should. Not only is he an incredible person, his story is incredible, too.
5 years ago, he shared it with me for my (long defunct) podcast. Went and found the link for y’all.

🌠 For years, the #1 most requested feature in CSS was Container Queries. We wanted them so badly!
Well, they’ve arrived… and none of us are using them. 😂
I think I know why, and I just published a new blog post that will hopefully change that!

The way twitter did subscriptions was basically a blueprint for how bluesky shouldnt do them
"Pay to win" features like getting visibility or having a bluecheck because youre a subscriber is just wrong, and ruins the network for everyone

This place is great, and I hope it gains more traction. But it also needs some keyboard shortcuts support and love. It is painfully difficult to use this web app right now, for those of use used to using the keyboard more than most.

I created a Bluesky Starter Pack! 🎉
It includes ~75 wonderful people in the web dev community who are doing inspiring work. I know I’ve missed some folks; I plan on adding to it over time.
Starter packs are such a great idea. Immediately makes Bluesky feel less lonely for newcomers. 😄

Checking the GitHub desktop app, and I just realized that its purpose is entirely different from what I want from a GitHub app.
I want a GitHub app to manage my GH notifications. See them listed, filter them, open them, add comments, make reviews, etc.
