I did not expect to find a reference to Adobe Flash in 2025. But here we are.
I wonder how much Adobe Flash might still be out in the wild if AWS S3 documentation still mentions it.

It's 2030. There is a massive demand for human senior developers to fix garbage made by Vibe coders. 🙃

This, but applied to tech workplaces.
When I started, the senior folks seemed to have knowledge that was way out of reach.

But then I realised they were just some guy with a debugger and a ton of war stories about the time the thing caught fire in prod.

It is well worth reading the Font Story for APN Chora here: www.alphabetspatricknell.com/article/font... and I celebrate @patricknell.works for writing it!

All designers should do this. #typography

APN Chora now available via Monotype and alphabetspatricknell.com: a rationalized humanist typeface optimized for legibility in extended reading. Available in just two styles—roman and italic—yet fully equipped for all needs of refined typography.

I LOVE upgrading dependencies. Finding out that there's a new version of something and then checking the release notes… It's the exact same feeling I get on birthdays and xmas.
Sadly, my workflow here is kind of clunky 1/3

New year, new blog post: I had a random question, what happens when LLMs are prompted to write better code, again and again? Do they actually write better code? The answer is yes*! minimaxir.com/2025/01/writ...
Can LLMs write better code if you keep asking them to “write better code”?
Most coders want AI to write code faster: I want AI to write FASTER CODE.
