After years of building other peoples' projects, I am now defaulting to creating for myself, following this quote I love:
“when you don't create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. your tastes only narrow & exclude people. so create.” - Why the Lucky Stiff

Someone should probably inform the White House's "AI & Crypto Czar" that no one is forcing AI companies to train their models on Wikipedia

So many technology companies that people revere seem to either be ran by bullies, pedophiles, anarcho-capitalists with fascist tendencies, or straight up genocide enablers.
We were supposed to be better than that, and our work was to make the world a better place right? 🤷♂️ Guess money always wins.

We have a choice to fight back against companies who seem to be led by people deprived of moral and ethical values.
We have a choice other than being complacent with their attitude and leadership.
We can & must to better!

How about instead of focusing on an egotistical CEO's blog, you direct that energy to go upvote @joemasilotti.com's post in Hacker News about his awesome new book on Hotwire Native instead?
More eyes = more sales = more time he can focus on teaching us how to build cool stuff. 🙌

Ruby friends, I know times are confusing, but trust me: being chronically online reacting to every random comment doesn't do you any good. Some of you really need to go touch some grass, pet a dog, plan your Halloween decorations, or something else that is far away from the computer. It'll help. 🖤

I really liked this blog post: thomasorus.com/i-tried-codi... by @thomasorus.com.
I feel the same way: by giving control to the AI or relying too much on it I lose the sense of joy I get with coding and it just makes me feel useless. I still use it daily, but mostly as a StackOverflow alternative.

I tried coding with AI, I became lazy and stupid
Robots won't replace me, but another human probably will.

You know, nothing screams "DHH is not racist" more than having MAGA and Tim Pool fans defending him by invoking semantics and trying to pretend he didn't mean that UK "natives" are only the "White British" as per Wikipedia's page on Ethnic groups in London stats for the years he mentioned. 🤷♂️

Last week I went to @euruko.org in Viana and I left with my heart full having seen firsthand that "Matz is nice and so we're nice" is alive and well.
I am so happy I found Ruby 10 years ago and discovered the joy of programming which completely changed my life. ✌️
See you in Brno next year! 🇨🇿

I joined the 10k steps a day in September for the Irish Heart Foundation (donate if you can! ❤️) and oh boy, I didn't account for how long it takes to walk close to 8km a day. And with @euruko.org I have close to 24km to catch up in a week 🥲 fundraise.irishheart.ie/fundraisers/...

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

It's kinda sad seeing how so many creators are trying to squeeze the hype train of AI as much as they can, screw ethics. Posting fake MRR numbers for apps that already shut down and presenting them as viable apps to build, then deleting comments when people show the numbers are fake. Be better. 🫠

Working with computers is exhausting. In gamedev you see teams pretending they are actually just one person and it being used as an excuse to fire people. And in webdev being told AI is going to replace everyone soon™️ but you don't see anything new being created with this "awesome productivity".

Apparently I grind my teeth also when I'm working, not just when asleep, so now every time I put on my mouth guard to work (code) I always remember this amazing scene from Johnny Mnemonic.

Whatever you feel about AI one thing is clear, how unimaginative "tech" really is. Just saw a "viral" video for 5 AI ideas with 200k+ views where the ideas were:
- AI powered dating app
- Two niche landing page creators
- A health dashboard
- Directory company with a GPT layer
Booooring 😪

The YouTube to Steam pipeline works. My 6yo kid saw his favourite YouTuber playing a game he liked so used all his "tooth fairy money" to buy it on Steam. So proud of this moment, the first game he bought with his own money. 🥹

Not something I would listen everyday, but it's a masterpiece and hits harder than a white Monster on an empty stomach.

Something I still struggle with 5+ years later is the balance of "research and document" and exploration through code. Sometimes it's just easier for me to code to learn how things could work, but oftentimes it's much harder to share the research with others through a pull request. 🤔

So many advances in AI and productivity, yet I work part-time for a bit because I am sick and I can't get anything done due to timezones, meetings, and code reviews that don't get done in time for me to advance in the few hours I have. It's a really tricky balance having speed and mature processes.

It's sad, but I see very little alternative to the fact almost every internet space was consolidated into US centric platforms, so there is no way to actively avoid the discourse, except removing yourself from those spaces, but at the cost of robbing you of the good things of said spaces. 🥲
