I’ve been investigating dead websites for years.

Same symptoms every time - bloated code, missing structure, too many dependencies and not enough care.

It’s not murder. It’s neglect.

And it’s everywhere.

The death of a website
The call came in after midnight. Another site down. Same pattern. Same rot. Somebody’s killing the web, and nobody’s talking.

Marketing: "Can we say we are powered by AI?"

Developer... tap tap tap...

```
import {
isEven,
} from "is-even-ai";
```

Developer: "Yes, we are powered by AI"

I love that someone made this www.npmjs.com/package/is-e... - though the issues in GitHub worry me that it's being taken seriously!

#BackBlaze really has a poor pricing indicator for API calls.

@backblaze.bsky.social I racked up $200 by accident for an open source project without realising there was a cost for API list calls... the TINY `here` link is not `clear pricing`.

I am not impressed.
