You'd be a fool to spend more than 30 seconds on it if you'd played an actual MMO anytime in the last five years. It's immediately apparent how poor quality AI-generated games like this are.

Hey. This is a total nightmare in my opinion. The dark mirror of something that I know and love and represents one of the highlights of human digital authorship.

If you'd like to play the actual game with other SWEs I'd invite you to help me start a guild for SWEs: https://unplanned-downtime.com/

This effect is likely be excarcebated in teams which are suffering layoffs this year. Even less people to clear the in-flight queue of partially complete tasks

That's about $200 a koku at Costco

Seriously. Very Claude-y vibes from this post. I guess the value of human effort doesn’t extend to writing your own blog posts

A few years ago I traded my huge Google Pixel 6 for a 3 inch Uniherz Jelly.

It's not perfect, as I still spend a lot of time on Reddit and HN on the tiny screen while commuting, but it's moved the needle for me.

Hmm, it seems that time spent with children has actually been increasing

This is cool! However I think the page is not interacting with the back button functionality correctly, at least on mobile.

Yeah. Unclear after reading this whether anything meeting their definition of GenUI actually exists or whether this is just speculation

I think they're sincere, though? I can't tell and I'm a little concerned

Indeed, the one upside of Cul-de-sac suburbs!

But really, kids should be able to do that in a park instead of having to scramble whenever a car pulls up.

Lovely article. I wish the author would have spent more words explaining why he is so against laneway houses, though.

There was a rather compelling pathway proposed years ago: skeletal muscle activation leads to the secretion of a protein in the blood called Irisin. This protein then crosses the blood-brain barrier and upregulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
