<Activity> - The most exciting React feature just came out!

Hide a React subtree and unmount its Effects while preserving its state, and keep rendering it with lower priority.

Unlocks very exciting pre-rendering patterns along the way!

More Activity modes are coming

This isn't even "UX vs UI". It's "the purpose of the fucking thing" vs "it sounded cool in a stakeholder meeting"

you don’t understand bro, if we didn’t lie, no one would buy our product 😩

Consider the implications if ChatGPT started saying "I don't know" to even 30% of queries
- a conservative estimate based on the paper's analysis of factual uncertainty in training data. Users accustomed to receiving confident answers to virtually any question would likely abandon such systems rapidly.

the more you learn about genAI, the less likely you're to use it!!!

I've repeatedly said in the past that meaningful change to the current disastrous reality is via combating big tech narrative & rhetoric and critical public awareness, which enables refusal/resistance

The Less You Know About AI, the More You Are Likely to Use It

AI can seem magical to those with low AI literacy, a new study finds. That, in turn, might make them more willing to try it.

Silence. And peace. And calm. I like it here, standing by the banks of this slow, serene river. Its tranquility fills me.

With the support for custom events, this library has finally become what I think type-safe event emitter should've always been in TypeScript.

Build. Measure. Learn.

Long ago, the three phases lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the feature factory attacked.

Only the Product Manager, master of all three phases, could stop it. But when the world needed him most, he was double-booked.

he's become a crybully basically
"if I cry everybody thinks what I say is realer"

manhood is broken, manhood is fundamentally broken.

he's literally saying nothing: he's dancing around topics and avoiding real things
he's cosplaying; he's cosplaying as meaningful

And its very tragic

Also, I appreciate the effort that a course update would take, so I'd be happy to pay an upgrade fee.

Hey @simonswiss.com, do you have any plans to update your Pro Tailwind courses for Tailwind v4? I need to upgrade a design system using v3, and I'd like to know how I should handle v4's different approach to config.
