Why do I feel like the old man yelling at clouds that programmers refuse to use their brains anymore?

All the AI-brained people are acting like the very AIs they celebrate.

That's horrifying.

Nice to see the Zenph recording get some love. It's such a fascinating process they had to do. It's way better than the original Gould recordings with all his singing along.

I spent a long time on a Bach project that didn't really sell well, but I was very impressed with the final result.

What's the purpose of using the fiber? To avoid radio signals?

Yeah I thought that too. Then they laid me off anyway.

Those 3D icons were always ugly, we just didn't have the maturity to realize it at the time. :)

I was laid off about a month ago. I worked as a software designer and one of the top experts in the world on the software and its subject matter. Didn't matter, they broomed me anyway.

Broken trust, indeed.

Author, be the change you want to see in the world. Stop whining and do something.

Maybe the city has a million of them sitting in a warehouse from some previous administration and they don't want to buy new ones.

Just this week I needed to completely revamp my personal website. I went with Squarespace because it's quick to spin up and I don't have to fiddle with tons of plugins and a complicated theme ecosystem. I just need a website that works. I used to use Wordpress for all my previous iterations, but now, it's done. Sad to see it become obsolete by not fixing them broader business and user-friendliness problems.

Holy moly that was an incredible experience. Well done!

The increasingly-dark Duolingo bird has to be my favorite part. Maybe I didn't get all the easter eggs there, but I almost wish the whole game just turned into an elaborate plot for vengeance for the owls.

Big oof, but a salient point. Copyright is what keeps the system going.
