It’s being reported that Greg Bovino and 250 of his goons will be leaving Chicago. But it’s also being reported that he’ll be back, in larger numbers. But Chicago is a boxer, tired but unbowed. I wrote about how we’ll be ready. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I didn’t have a strong stance against LLMs for coding, but I can’t fit them into my workflow
for most problems, I like to plan an outline from start to finish. by the time I’ve done that, the code is basically written
for the hardest problems I have to explore, an LLM can’t help anyway

Also, if you aren't using these tools:
What made you decide against LLMs?
How have you managed to avoid them?
Are there any use cases you might see yourself needing some day?
How do you feel compared to devs who are using LLMs?

I'm taking some time, and I'll explore new paths later on, so I've left my position at Bolt. I'm very grateful they empowered me to work on Vite over the past years. Thanks a ton to everyone in the Vite ecosystem for the wonderful journey. Cheers to Vite's bright future and even more collaboration!

my favorite part of kpop demon hunters is representing our beloved tradition of 2 huge bands fighting onstage in a musical-dance setpiece that ends in one absolutely eviscerating the other and nobody asks where the losing band is after the show and their music is now banned

worked on some very minor touchups to @terrazzo.app and finally got a stupid idea out of my head—responsively “snapping” elements to a grid
was way way way easier to do than I thought thanks to CSS round! just specify 40px (or whatever) for the “snap to” param and it does all the work

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc
and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way
