Seriously, on the Firefox AI commit controversy. I don’t see the point in complaining. Anyone threatening to move to another browser over it isn’t escaping anything. Every major company is using AI heavily. Even in ways you don’t see through code. It’s just something we need to accept. AI is a tool.

A new blog. Lit is better than React. dev.to/hasanirogers...

T-Fiber (T-Mobile's new fiber home internet, where they bought up others to jump start it) has to be the most incompetent gathering of anyone working in IT and Support I've ever seen. They can't get anything right and support will leave notes in tickets that is the exact opposite of what was said.

@leviathanapp.bsky.social Bulk importing could use one key improvement. I have a text list exported from another program. Upon importing it, foils are correctly marked. But all normal cards are "Unspecified" for the finish. Tons of time would be saved if we could filter an import and mass update.

Idempotence in CI is so extremely important. Everywhere I’ve been people have just let CI run on whatever is latest. Which always leads to breaks. Treat CI like your app dependencies. Freeze as much as you can. Regularly automate updates to merge after testing. Respond to breaks to upgrade.

I can’t be lied to believe that these tariffs aren’t just market manipulation by those close to Trump. Wreck the stocks so they can buy them up, then release tariffs and gain.

You like one pizza picture… BlueSky unloads them all on you.

My favorite diff handler for MacOS right now, Juxtacode. One time payment and handles everything I've put to it so far. Good work going on here. juxtacode.app

Does "Design Unification" for an organization ever actually work? It is generally used to allow engineers to switch between teams seamlessly. Or sell more easily since everything the company has "looks the same". But, isn't the difference between old and new a selling point?
