I think the large amount of developers absconding to UX/Design is the due to the abundance of tech bros ruining it for everyone. Zero empathy.

As someone who has missed Gregg's iced donuts terribly, finding the raspberry Funfetti yum yums from Tesco's has absolutely made my day.

They had me with the word Funfetti tbh.

NEW: ChatGPT allows Google to index chats users share using the Share functionality - presumably misinterpreting "make this chat discoverable". The result? Frank admissions about sex lives and drug dependencies. My latest for @fastcompany.com www.fastcompany.com/91376687/goo... tip @techmeme.com
Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations, potentially exposing sensitive user data
Thousands of shared ChatGPT chats—including deeply personal details about mental health, relationships, and trauma—are appearing in Google search results, raising major privacy concerns.

Have you ever wished you could make a real-deal complex shape in CSS? The web’s had circle(), ellipse() and polygon() for years. But in order to do anything more SVG-style syntax was required.

Well, no more. Now, you can make complex shapes in CSS!
