I'll let this video I have saved to my hard drive speak for itself.

Looking for a way to support a musician directly? Like a way to buy their music or kofi or patreon or anything other than streaming?
This app someone made shows places you can do that. Search for an artist, find their platforms, give them love.
Really dig this.

Maybe I'm too European and/or too autistic, but why would you measure vegetables in recipes by volume and not by weight?!

Senior developers who extol the benefits of LLMs sometimes feel like high functioning alcoholics to me.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

It’s so important to teach young people how to do this, too.
We’re here to help them hold and process emotions, instead of pushing their feelings down to make their adults more comfortable

Trying to “positive think” your way out of season of darkness will fucking kill you.
You do yourself a disservice by not honoring your feelings… and now on top of being in the darkness, you’re fucking up your relationship with yourself.
SOME shit, you just have to sit in
Only way out… is through

I expected Tim Walz to Hold Steady, but I guess now we have to figure out The Replacements. Worried that Minnesota could become a Soul Asylum.

Past events exist, after all, only in memory, which is a form of imagination. The event is real now, but once it’s then, its continuing reality is entirely up to us, dependent on our energy and honesty.

i'm still not sure which part of generating yaml or copy pasting example code from github at speed requires ddosing the internet, or extended roleplay sessions with a markov chain, or tacitly ignoring the deaths of vulnerable teenagers, but as ever, i guess i am simply too european for this

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Part of what bugs me about all of the discussion around programmers potentially losing jobs due to LLMs is that many people seem to be operating under the flawed assumption that the primary function of programmers is to type code into a keyboard. The product is the software, and not the code.

Alongside the Ruby 4.0 release last week, I published charm-ruby over Christmas, bringing @charm.land's excellent terminal UI libraries to Ruby.
A full TUI framework, reusable components, styled output, forms, markdown rendering, spinners, charts, and a lot more!
