1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everything
: Hallucinated package names fuel 'slopsquatting'

I find it interesting that everybody is talking about generative AI these days and almost nobody is questioning it

It has worried me that people use LLMs because it's trendy and fun. Most people don’t even think about the high energy usage of a single prompt.

Sometimes I delete node_modules folders out of spite and for no good reason.

Do I have to run `npm i` after? Yes... but it feels good. Don't judge me.

Getting so sick of corpo website shit
"But we NEED these cookies to FUNCTION" No you don't. I'm reading an article. Twenty five years ago that involved using html to show me words and link to other parts of your site and that was IT.

Coding is problem solving not copying an pasting. Copy and past from an AI tool all you want, you're still gonna have no fucking clue what to do when you hit points you need to actually solve a problem

the best thing about having a personal website is that you can spend hours just tweaking the spacing

light mode vs. dark mode on websites:

which would you prefer to have by default?

jeg vil lage en gratis mal for portefølje, hjelpe andre designere med å sette opp sin egen nettside, koda med next.js og kobla opp mot sanity.io

mål: unngå at folk bruker ai og dritt og såkalt "vibbekoding" :)

An unspoken truth about the design process:

The best work happens when a designer rides a flash of inspiration, and imbues all of their personal joy and curiosity into the design.

When you interact with an object made like this, you can feel the enthusiasm given to it. Joy reverberates forward.

a couple of years ago i started the habit of not having any social media apps on my phone, hoping it would help me spend less time on them. it kind of worked, until i noticed that i could also check instagram from my browser.
