The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed. I see plenty of developers insisting AI coding tools are overhyped and error-prone. But I’m also starting to see the opposite, people who’ve fully embraced them and now find they’re so good it’s triggering a real crisis of confidence.

Yeah, I'd be pretty furious if I got spam email from some "AI agent" thanking me for my contributions too I dug into what happened here, turns out it's an experiment called "AI Village" which unleashes all sorts of other junk emails on the world: simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/26/...

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Thinking more about the 11ty phenomena… why am I seeing a giant profile photo grid of their 300+ contributors? who is andy bell and why am I supposed to care that he says Jekyll is dead to him? and then there are a dozen+ other testimonials from people I’ve never heard of

Anyway this is what I gleaned from their home pages Pelican & Nikola - these are ssgs and have the features ssgs have Hugo - is 1. fast and 2. popular and 3. actively developed 11ty - affirms your identity as a web dev

the best I can figure is this is some sort of postmodern extension of “nobody ever got fired for buying IBM”… -> “nobody ever got dunked on, on twitter, for picking 11ty” ?
