Took my first stab at photogrammetry. The good news is it's feasible. Just made it harder on myself scanning a small object with some reflective surfaces, no lighting setup, and iPhone Xr camera. Embrace the jank.

Read the whole thread. On top of this, at least for now, the programmers deskilling themselves in this way are offloading the duty of paying attention to whoever gets stuck with the code review and maintenance, meanwhile collecting the kudos from management for "being so productive with AI".
It's funny that everyone who has *ever* programmed, knows how important attention to detail is. Hours wasted because you made a typo, forgot to add a character, etc.
The tiniest thing you literally don't notice is wrong, and your program screams at you and dies.
This is a universal experience.

I wonder how many billions of human hours are wasted because of interfaces trying to be friendly instead of effective?
Because some designer only thought of initial users and not long-term users?
Users who would like to accomplish effective work in as few clicks and presses as rapidly as possible?

The other day @davatron5000.bsky.social shared a link to the new `stretch` keyword in CSS – and I saw a lot of questions about how it's different from 100% (or 100vh when doing full-screen layouts). So I made a quick video to show how these all work! #CSS

They did it. A framework bult on the top of Tailwind to avoid the "ugly" HTML and the endless class names. Looks quite familiar to what we can already do with a "style.css" file.
At least they acknowledge that the HTML is ugly.

Personally, I find an exceptionally well executed foundation much more attractive than "build fast and break things".
Because I'm building a business that should last, is maintainable and a joy to run.
Having to put out fires every 2 hrs isn't the way I want this to be.

Consider a programmer looking at code they themselves wrote a year ago, now having to identify and fix a bug. They have to rebuild the mental model of what is going on, which is easier if they have already had a mental model of what is going on.

I think I may have to figure out a long term plan to get away from coding, because I definitely don’t have 25+ more years of “Why tf is this thing that should just work not working?” in me.

the use case for every LLM is producing a slop that someone then has to spend hours editing into something usable. as many hours as they would have spent doing it from scratch, if not more. it's a scam aimed at owners & managers who don't know how to do the work and won't listen to their workers.

Programmers report that their skills are atrophying with too much use of LLMs.
The problem with generating code, text, etc. is that you don't exercise the necessary repetitions to develop or maintain an intuition, awareness or taste for doing “the thing”.
Without care, anything gets worse.

Does it bug you that Flexbox always ends up with a very few items in the last row, stretched out extra wide?
What if the layout was balanced kinda like `text-wrap`, using:
item-pack: balance;
Learn more about this idea, and much more:

Management: We created a new biweekly "Autonomy Day" where engineers can work on whatever they want. Make sure you don't use this day to continue your existing work; you have to put that down and do something more autonomous. Also, you have to stop when the day is over even if you're not finished
