Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Day 5 of the 100 days of code.
It was another hectic day today (seriously, don't adopt kittens unless you have copious amounts of free time), so about all I managed was to read through the Asynchronous Javascript module from @wil.to's Javascript for Everyone course.

This module has so far been one of the most useful to people taking JavaScript for Everyone, so we made it free so you can get an idea of how good Mat is at teaching JavaScript. Maybe it’ll convince you to get the whole course 👀

Pretty clear which jobs generative AI can replace…
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
