introducing gistโ .mom ๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ
collaborative editor for your GitHub Gists
ever wanted to collaborate live on that postmortem or RFC?
working with gists feels like corporate back-and-forth, not fun like designing together in Figma?
links below but you can probably just write it
I find slop-comments annoying bcs the codebase doesn't require this information
zooming out from code doesn't help: I noticed AI gets confused about outdated comments or spends tokens maintaining them
seems like almost all advice we gave to new devs makes sense for AI
You might notice a similar thing when you ask AI for some specific design style, let's say brutalism, and then it also makes the text on the page *about brutalism*
just so chatty, can't stop itself
@JungleSilicon doesn't this lead to a convoluted ball of small files? like, u get smaller number of files but more connections between them
i remember Excalidraw folks had some tweets or blogs about refactoring the same file repeatedly for nodes vs edges pref
i like big files i cannot lie
@syshukus@valigo@theo teenage me would love to have a job like "troll foreigners and make them angry" ngl
they're just way better at exporting hate than we are at exporting love, unfortunate
In 2025, hundreds of Germans discovered their car exhausts stuffed with construction foam. Sticker on their cars declaring "Be greener!"
A staffer shared a DW article about the operation and reported to Zakharova: "They are writing about us."

has anybody built @tldraw auto-tiling tool/shape?
i wanna create bounds where anything tossed there gets snapped to grid next to closest other shape; for moodboards and stuff
clankers are ๐ฒ๐ท๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ช๐ฝ๐ฎ
i don't wanna talk to your clanker nor use any chat sidebar. pasting Claude's output straight to Slack is as inappropriate as posting a nude, sorry
asking people to read ai-generated text is offensive.
this is not because ai text is intrinsically bad. rather, the author has not paid a cost to write the text himself. this cost is a credible signal he finds its communication important.
so: not paying that cost is telling
back in my hometown for Easter. 2k-subs AI news YT channels are Cocomelon for boomers
Tried to recommend popular news channel to my pops. He turned it on on TV, and two minutes in, pulled out his phone to play AI slop again
My dear front-end developers (and anyone whoโs interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
the trend towards higher output with lower "excellence" predates AI
@nikitonsky wrote Software Disenchantment almost a decade ago
now we can at least have better test coverage, monitoring and automatic rollbacks, and those were usually deprioritized in favor of more features
I will say that almost all the LLM agentic code I have seen, and that includes my own, does not pass my bar. But my bar is lowering because the expectations on throughput are increasing.
@__morse@shadcn@tseslint I see the potential in the registry bcs maintaining and bumping deps in lint configs is the kind of annoying work that doesn't look useful in the kanban board
@__morse@shadcn@tseslint I like the CLI but I wonder why presets ain't good in your opinion. I tend to use the same preset whenever it's productive (i.e. don't have to pitch a big lint config change to the team) and add project-specific rules locally, often based on ts-eslint APIs.
