<p>Be that as it may, the jurisdiction I am living in has an explicit right to refuse to testify against a spouse. It is wild to me that one can construct a crime out of that, let alone one that warrants a decade of incarceration.</p>

<p>I do not want to distract from the content of the article, which is highly relevant for folks who built UIs with frameworks that are conceptually based on signals, but the way that the reading experience is designed really great, in particular the guided reading flow through the instructive code path is something that I rarely have seen done at all, and this even works pretty well on mobile. It's a delightful reminder on how a dynamic medium can be more than the simulation of print on screens.</p>

<p>Plenty, but few of them can be solved by writing and deploying an app somewhere. Some of them are actually made worse by the latter. And how to make money is mostly orthogonal to solving the problems of the world.</p>

<p>I find this knee-jerk reaction, that everything that shows certain stylistic choices is put under the suspicion of "might be generated", to have become a tedious cliché.<p>Unless the author had live-streamed the writing process, how could we know? Humans have been exposed to LLM generated texts on nearly all channels for more than three years, so by now it would be a surprise if there had not been a reciprocal reaction. Writers imitate what they read, the tools we shaped might have started to shape us.</p>

<p>That is an argument to authority. There is a large enough segment of folks who like to be confirmed in either direction. Doesn't make the argument itself correct or incorrect. Time will tell though.</p>

<p>> It’s disappointing when you see leaders and so-called stewards of taste farming out that part of their voice.<p>The bland platitudes of corporate management were mindbogglingly boring drivel already in the era before LLMs went mainstream. What we get nowadays is just more of it. That stuff should be skipped anyways. What was not worth writing is not worth reading.</p>

<p>Ward Cunningham once, of all places in an Github issue [0], explained how the original C2 Wiki was seeded.<p>> Perhaps I should explain why wiki worked.
> I wrote a program in a weekend and then spent two hours a day for the next five years curating the content it held. For another five years a collection of people did the same work with love for what was there. But that was the end. A third cohort of curators did not appear. Content suffered.<p>A heroic amount effort of a single person, and later the collective effort of a small group, worked in the mid-90es. I'm skeptical that it will be repeatable 30 years later. Despite this, it would be the type of place, that I'd like to visit on the web. :(<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/WardCunningham/remodeling/issues/51#issuecomment-832759167" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/WardCunningham/remodeling/issues/51#issue...</a></p>
