Not All Browser APIs Are "Web" APIs
There's JS APIs in your browser that are little more than facades for cloud services. You might be sending your users' data to them.

The story of Europe’s economic decline while US is 'soaring' is everywhere.
But it is wrong. It is a myth.
Europe delivers more leisure, longer life expectancy, less inequality than the US.

Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe
There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true

Personally, I’m pretty sure the core skills in software dev are perishable.
This would explain why many senior devs see diminishing returns from LLMs over time. The skills necessary to spot when LLMs fuck up might be deteriorating over time.

Beyond being simply unproductive, we are already seeing how AI tools agreeing and encouraging you to keep spiralling in the same thought patterns lead to real-world deaths.
Advertising them as an alternative to therapy is beyond irresponsible.

Spent last two days recovering and rediscovering LAN in @diversight.ai office. Cables cut and rerouted to the new 10" rack. Fished new cable to the EdgeRouter. Also labeled most of the cables with socket number so it will be easier in the future to do something with it.

When I worked at IBM, at one point I was working on a feature to optimise AIX using dynamic cacheing. The feature did the literal opposite of what it was meant to -- slowed things down.
It still got shipped, because that was the target. It was just turned off and undocumented.

I see it everywhere in my current company. People are pushed to deliver more and more, especially productivity tools that don't go to production that no one actually cares about. 99% of those are vibe coded bullshit that doesn't work, but ticks off a task on a goal sheet for when bonuses are paid.

i know a lot of the javascript community thinks that people who complain about frontend complexity are just being cynical but it turns out that caking on layer upon layer of abstractions can have real-world consequences
Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week.
These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

”What’s wrong with build tools? Other languages are compiled!”
Yes, but their compiler is official and always there.
The #JS ecosystem has devolved into a state where abstraction, the most fundamental software engineering concept, has been outsourced to third party tooling.
*That’s* the problem.

We need to stop referring to AI as a tool. A tool is something that helps you solve a problem or complete a task. AI creates more problems than it solves. It’s more virus than tool. Every time we call it a tool we’re insulting hammers and guillotines, which actually solve problems.
