binning my Apple Watch and only using it during exercise to make people feel safe talking to me because wtf was that

I've worked on a number of different CLI tools over the years — finally got around to build me a helper design tool to handoff those specs ✌️

my super power is knowing whether a thot piece was written by AI by the first paragraph alone

"Load bearing," "I keep coming back to," "Not just X, but Y" A curse of using AI a lot is that you realize how much of the writing around you is just AI, now People who don't use AI have historically been unable to identify AI prose on sight, but those who use it a lot can spot the tells easily

I’ve posted it before, but it feels evergreen The two hardest problems in Computer Science are 1. Human communication 2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

I think we need an inverse thread where we talk about things that normal intelligent people universally agree upon that are for some reason hot takes within your profession

"there's no xenophobia in this country" babe I just got asked what country I was born in to get a 2-year car lease (they thought I was brazilian)

there was a time not too long ago that celebrating international woman's day felt empowering and significant to me, but unfortunately I don't feel like celebrating anymore. I feel like fighting.

my livejournal turned 18 years old and I don't know how to tell past me how much better and much worse the world turned out to be.

heavy on not being an elder millennial in tech in 2026 because you'll have nostalgia for both your 2006 teenage years tech AND 2016 twitter/bay area tech

I'm going to be brutally honest and say that if someone thinks that AI is alive or will have a conscious in the future, they need to touch a more powerful type of grass and go back to school to educate themselves

2026 tech is looking very much like 2016 tech - hustle culture is back - cult of personality > impact - minorities? what are those? - accessibility? not a priority

markup and specifically markdown turning out to be most influential language of all time is almost poetic, in a way

using "thinking" "pondering" "reasoning" et al. for ai tooling loading states is a dark pattern. discuss.

Turns out an asteroid didn't kill the dinosaurs. They just invented capitalism and house prices got higher and higher until they stopped having babies altogether.

just quickly passing by to inform everyone that I have the same big 3 astrological sign as Kendrick, take it as you will 💅

definitely seeing an uptick in hate comments there as well in only day one, another app that's been rotten 😔

Consider this if you're thinking of going back to TikTok.

if you haven't lived through censorship you have no idea what this means

Adam Ellis@adamtots.bsky.social

Folks trying to act cool and aloof about the TikTok ban sound genuinely idiotic. If you don’t get why it’s a devastating and dangerous precedent, that says way more about you than the people lamenting its loss. I learned so much on that app. I saw the funniest shit of my life there. Shit sucks.
