Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it.
Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments
Freelancers/contractors: get in comments
Everyone else: boosts appreciated

The famous green owl app Duolingo is going even harder into AI made by stolen content. It's not curated by native speakers so you have no idea if what you're learning is correct. Their algorithm overall tries to hit the happy brain juices instead of helping you learn. So here are some alternatives!

After spending the last couple of nights trying vibe coding a side project. I really don’t trust anyone who says they’ve built a fully working product with AI, without knowing how to code. The project I’m building isn’t even complex and AI is just fucking it up

When people question why WordPress doesn't simply include responsive controls, this highlights the complexity involved
So, how do we think Gutenberg responsive controls should work?
Does every attribute become an object with a key value pair for the current preview device; desktop, tablet, mobile, so on? So would a current text attribute really become an object with 3 properties therein?
