Me: Our current crop of IDEs are like single use tools which we apply to all sorts of different situations. They don't adapt. It's like a builder who has a hammer and tries to solve every problem with one.
dX: AI?
Me: The AI hammer? Oh, it is going to get so much worse.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? X does! However it looks like I can no longer post, at least in the iOS client, without special subterfuges. It’s #RealTwitterSuicide #MyXAnniversary

@plaindocs Next time I will try that HUMAN trick, but talking to a human never seemed to be an option. I mean, the chatbot knows everything, right? Right?

[Joaquim Baptista @pxquim]

@plaindocs Same here.

[Joaquim Baptista @pxquim]

@plaindocs Have you ever found a useful chatbot? One where the chat part is better than obvious alternatives?

I really want everyone to pivot back from video. I fucking hate video. Do not ever make me watch a video just to obtain information. Making me watch a video instead of giving me text I can read is an act of violence against me specifically. When will it end.

@mojavelinux I really agree that it is a problem worth solving!

@BrunoFigueiredo A história do “mimo”, claro. Tornando a culinária numa amostra da cultura…

@BrunoFigueiredo Pastéis de Tentúgal. Mas tem cuidado de contar a história de cada coisa…

@BrunoFigueiredo Protected tweet? Can’t share with myself through email, as usual.

@rcarmo @MEOpt Podes precisar de pedir a um vizinho que seja cliente @MEOpt que reclame em teu nome. Been there.
