I wanna say this out loud. A few months ago, I told Evan that @voidzero.dev should stop sponsoring me. I burned out, and I couldn't help Vite as before. But they decided to continue supporting me while I was down. And by doing so, they helped me get back on my feet sooner. Thank y'all ❤️
Just doubled @voidzero.dev 's sponsorship to @patak.dev to $2k/mo. Excited to have you back, and proud to be supporting your work of improving the JS ecosystem.
We have a unique opportunity with npmx. We're building something very special together. I want to give myself the chance to focus on helping steward the project. I'm going to be working as an independent open source developer this year. Support my work and help me focus on npmx long-term 🙏

my best code is written in a two-step process:
1. kludge a working prototype together, don’t worry about the code AT ALL. the point is understanding how the requirements function in reality
2. destroy the prototype completely. build the app for real using my better mental model

the main thing that makes me uneasy about llms is the cultural backdrop of global war on knowledge. the war on knowledge isn’t new but now it’s cheered on from tech too. tools for thought pivoted to slot machines because that’s what people want. “how things work” is buried under opaque indirections

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future.
But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

Most times, talking about roles and responsibilities when teamwork is hard is the wrong move.
When you’re outcome-driven, people can set aside their egos and collaborate. When it’s turf-driven, the best ideas can’t surface because people have to stay in their lanes.
