My piece The Echosystem has been on display at the #DataObscura exhibition. By scraping online news and twitter feeds this visualisation captures a real-time slice of the online echo chambers and puts that into a digital “fish tank” suitable for observation. More info soon :)

Basically no one in my life other than people who were already coding are using LLMs to code. Some minor exceptions but they were already engineering adjacent or highly interested in app development already. Classic thing where software people think everyone sees the world they do. Grow up and get back to work.

The more time I spend working with coding agents, the more convinced I am that they make software engineering even harder

We can do amazing things with them, but unlocking their full potential requires extraordinary discipline and knowledge

Let me explain how this works. The model is Putin's model.

1. Trump nationalizes shares.
2. Later, shares are gifted to Trump cronies.
3. Repeat with every large US corporation until the wealth of the nation is in the hands of the new Royal Family.

Please don’t.

This is coined, "Theme Park Urbanism", where vacation destinations, like Disney World, provide the average American with a walkable environment they can only associate with vacation, and never with their own neighborhood.

Actually, I think we have seen it before when a right-wing Germany combines with a right-wing Italy to unite Europe.

Geschrokken net van een zorgwekkende aanvaring met Kamervoorzitter Bosma.

De PVV is een extreemrechtse partij. Punt. Martin Bosma mag dat vervelend vinden. Maar ik zal het blijven zeggen. Want in tegenstelling tot VVD en NSC zal ik blijven vechten voor de rechtsstaat die door de PVV ondermijnt wordt.

One of my greatest current fears around AI is that people will start making bad life decisions right now - like giving up on learning software development - because they panic that future AI is going to make their current effort pointless

@gordonnl I've made something similar (https://t.co/S5WlDuNtw4), so totally agree on the usefulness of a tool like this. Really interested where this is going, especially on how you're designing your API!

Been working on a small project that allows users to quickly visualise, inspect and edit GLTF/GLB files online using @threejs. A first version for testing can be found here https://t.co/1VZ4yTxvIe

George Monbiot absolutely shredding this govt and their sadistic, pure distraction, Rwanda policy.

A reminder to progressives everywhere - the continued threat of the far-right is real and on our doorstep.

The next year is going to be pivotal for standing up for and defending our values - in London, in Europe and across the world.

Far-right leader Geert Wilders wins Dutch election: Exit poll https://t.co/fVB9APLs81 This is very bad news. Worry.

The way I see creative coding is like this...

It has nothing to do with 3D... or even 2D. Creative coder is someone who can solve a problem in a creative way.

Creative problem solving skills I believe it is something this new generation coders are lacking probably due to all these sophisticated toolsets and frameworks out there these days.

While people who uses Spline, Webflow and Framer can do pretty much 90% of the web design projects out there, there are still limitations on making something specific which requires a creative solve.

The gap for sure will get closer in time but creative coders can jump to another tech area easily if they want to adapt something new. They can go become an "artist", switch to do some installation work, mograph, game dev, machine learning, etc... So creative coders shouldn't really need to panic about their future.
