i think the labrys symbol is sick but the new flag is just better aesthetically

i want to make a landing page that is neither completely useless on desktop nor ridiculously cluttered on mobile but that would require
1) redoing the entire DOM
2) redoing the subpages as well
aaaaaaa

like a specific race or age group within?
when someone stops thinking of sex as a fixed, "natural" category, and instead as a categorisation invented by humans, these questions make sense to ask and answer and can be very instructive about how the world actually works

when someone sees "sex: F" on a document, what comes to mind for them? is that preconception accurate? how did that preconception come to be? why is it that people's understanding of "male"/"female" characteristics are often not shared by most people in that category, or apply only to subgroups,

2) socially constructing a category is also about when and where it's relevant. should my sex appear on the documents I show the train conductor? is it *actually* true that a fuzzy abstraction like that appearing on my records helps doctors, or would it be more useful to deconstruct it?

there are multiple angles to this.
1) something being a social construct ≠ something not "mattering" or "being real". the underlying characteristics we call "sex" exist, but we have to understand their malleability and the fact that it's humans sorting them into 2+ broad categories, not nature.

If LLM coding tools are to be widely adopted in the profession we seriously need to reckon with how addictive they seem to be. not sure if they're inherently Like That or if they're designed to be that way to juice usage but it's deeply concerning either way

There's also a subset of software engineers who seem to have completely gone of the deep end (thinking of Yegge et al here)

ATosphere would be an interesting compromise. maybe ATProsphere? i dont know

neither tbqh. "atmosphere" is unsearchable. "fediverse" works because it's not identically shaped to another, mich more common word

i admittedly don't know enough about nor have the money to properly try out "agentic" coding but the vibes around the whole thing are undescribably rancid. bluntly, a lot of the people in this subculture seriously need to take a break and come fown to reality

the line about "only" using 2 or 3 agents at once counting as "conservative" ai usage just makes the author sound like they have a highly distorted circle of professional association
