NEW: Peter Thiel has blinked. Yesterday, I posted an article about the "Great AI Bubble". And today, we find out that he's bailed on the market.

Has he cut & run? Or is this some 3-D chess-type voodoo? Thoughts please.

In my mind there are three kinds of feedback: criticism, indifference, and praise.

Well-run developer communities accept all three. Poorly-run communities optimize for only the latter.

Really enjoyed @reichenstein.bsky.social‘s thoughtful and entertaining talk at #smashingconf today! Amazing to see how philosophical ideas influenced the design of iA’s apps and what designers can and could learn from philosophy – and vice versa. A lot of food for thought!

You HAVE to check out @matthiasott.com's website: matthiasott.com

Extremely creative and well-built, you can even play around with customization knobs (using design tokens!) like a musical instrument!

I want all my web performance metrics described with baking analogies. Who knew that cake had "Frontend" time. Although that would mean that a cake's Time To First Bite (Backend) would come after Frontend!

honestly wild that it's just accepted that LLM's 'hallucinate' rather than calling it 'being fucking wrong because they're a markov chain covered in vajazzle'

Social media has seriously fucked up society. There's no common fabric or morals any more. The world is now divided by ideology; borders, alliances and history are not valued at all. What was fringe conspiracy stuff 30 years ago is now completely mainstream. We're all completely fucked.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and hangs out with a bunch of other ducks, and writes for a german newspaper saying vote for the alt-right duck party, and does a nazi salute like a duck... my dude, that's a duck and you should throw away your duckmobile.
