    getting VC money for what will basically be a tmux replacement is crazy enough but that list of investors is just sooo yikesy. Guillermo Rauch? Lenny Pruss? Tobi Lütke??? Mitchell Hashimoto just continues to disappoint lmao https://www.superlogical.com

    Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name. https://davidcel.is/articles/rails-needs-new-governance

    RE: https://xoxo.zone/@davidcelis/115232432583137819 since he&#39;s making the rounds again, it&#39;s probably a good time to re-share my post that shows how DHH has been a racist shitbag (and, yes, actual fascist) for a long time now

    i posted this extremely recently, but i guess it just became even more relevant: just stop using Google. it’s already awful, it’s about to get even worse, and better alternatives exist. after 20+ years of Googling for free, i never thought i’d pay for search, but i like Kagi enough to do it. https://aftermath.site/google-search-ai-changes/

    this is your regular reminder that you shouldn’t trust most influencers about food. unless you love food that looks beautiful and tastes bland. in which case,

    i always use the same recipe for my sourdough pizza, but i tried a tweak this time and subbed out 20% of the 00 flour for Cairnspring Mills&amp;#39; Trailblazer bread flour and got really good results!! not only was the bread itself way tastier, but i got my first consistently puffy crust

    OH: “This guy was in a pub in Ireland and actually asked the bartender, ‘Can I get two irish car bombs?’ and the bartender just locks eyes with him and says ‘No, but I can get you twin towers’”

    i get that it would never make it through the House, but i’m still surprised that i haven’t seen any new calls for impeachment given the massively corrupt slush fund that we all get to pay for with our taxes

    some recent VSCode update seems to have started generating a `.devcontainer/devcontainer-lock.json` lockfile, but is it supposed to get checked into version control? i have no idea if it&amp;#39;s supposed to be personal or team-wide

    I became a software engineer because writing code is fun. Thinking through hard problems, designing elegant solutions, seeing the things you’ve built working for the first time… these moments are all deeply satisfying, so why in the world would I ever surrender them to AI? https://davidcel.is/articles/writing-code-is-fun

    i started a collection on TikTok to track laughably bad AI Overviews now that they’re forcing them on every video… and i almost immediately had to give up because almost all of them are wrong. i’m not even just talking details; they’re _completely_ wrong in at least 90% of cases!
