You know who hates AI coding? Influencers who make videos teaching coding tricks.

Videos that are long, hard to navigate, and made to sell ads or controversy.

AI just does that part for you and you learn it in a few minutes.

Today my 2 year old looked at me and said “agape”. I don’t know what she meant at first but I realized she’d found my prized Greek dictionary and had had learned the many words for love.

I corrected her poor grammar of course but appreciated the effort.

Short answer - very different phenomena:

How is this happening:

GCP major outage; Cloudflare major outage… at the same time!

Never seen this before

Their infra is fully independent AFAIK

(The outage taking other services like Supabase with them)

How does the Apple Watch fail so horribly at being a kitchen timer?

I say “set a timer for 5 minutes and it seems to set a timer for 10:34:22. How does it come up with that number?
