The README section about hot reloading did not need to go this hard
the phoenix remembered every moment of every death, and of the harrowing abyssal cold infinity between passing & resurrection.
as it turns out, hopeful retellings of the myth took the wrong message from it — it wasn't a miracle for the beast to keep returning to life: it was a curse to die forever.

This what we lose when we hand all dev over to AI. Claude can’t make this dumb little joke. ChatGPT can’t chuckle to itself.

I broke my tooth on stale bread.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

I’ve really enjoyed Pavel’s writing this year. Thoughtful, well-researched analysis of where UX is headed and where it should be headed instead. If you’re not subscribed, you ought to be.
It was my goal to enter 2026 with 2026 subscribers for my user experience design newsletter, The Product Picnic.
Currently we are only in 1969, which while a great year is somewhat short of the goal. Help me bring my newsletter into the present!

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Becoming a father and learning how to take care of my child is the single most exciting and incredible thing that’s happened to me. I can’t imagine outsourcing that to a robot.

Frosty only comes to life when he’s wearing the magical hat. And if Frosty is destroyed and rebuilt, he’s the same Frosty as before, with memories, once the hat is back on his head.
Frosty is not a snowman. Frosty is a magical hat currently possessing a snowman body.

I just realized that George Motz (not on Bluesky) and John Darnielle ( @themountaingoats.bsky.social ) have extremely similar cadences when talking about their craft and I don’t know what else to do with this information.

I love having a toddler. My toddler has no idea what’s going on in the world. My toddler knows that he just ate a raspberry, and raspberries are tasty. So I can eat a raspberry too. We can sit together and eat raspberries and we can both be happy.

All I’m saying is I once named a pear shaped lamp from IKEA “Pearold” and felt genuine sadness when its batteries died. So no, I don’t think I’ll be asking ChatGPT about anything.
