    I’m pretty sure the Gen Z stare is just a new version of the Gen X “da fuc?”, though we would add it to a shit post thread in AIM or Jabber rather than communicate it directly. It’s possible Gen Z is are better at transparent business communication.

    Just read a thing about how the song “Home” is the prime example of what GenZ calls “Millennial Cringe” and… fair

    I can’t believe in all of this time we still haven’t found a better way to market on the internet than blocking the thing you came to see with something else a moment after you load the page.

    Violence is never acceptable, but bullying has a way of summoning it. So tired of people don’t see the connection between “owning the libs” and political violence. Take some responsibility.

    I’d say Ricky Gervais is more of a nihilism advocate than a comedian at this point

    I&amp;#39;ve automated my dev workflow with a zsh function that ties together git worktrees + Linear + Claude Code. One command now: parses Linear ticket from branch name → creates worktree → auto-claims ticket via GraphQL → copies dev assets (node_modules, .env, etc) → opens Claude Code and Zed. I can tackle 1-3 bug fix, prototype, or otherwise simple tasks concurrently (sometimes up to 5 for straightforward work). 🧵

    Crazy idea, but hear me out: What if this technology is amazing but not in the way some thought and it was a mistake to stop hiring entry level talent for the last few years.

    We’ve come to a point where the only thing in the premise of Fallout that’s hard to believe is the zombies and their ability to find and access their wonder-drug

    This issue of GarbageDay made me start to consider the possibility that NOFX &amp;quot;You can&amp;#39;t play this song on the radio&amp;quot; is a blueprint for art in the AI age. Add poison pills to your art. https://www.garbageday.email/p/the-only-taboo-left-is-copyright-infringement

    Kevin Roose on The Daily: AI co workers at top AI companies now &amp;quot;supervise agents, set them off toward tasks, go get lunch and come back and the work is done.&amp;quot; True for people making prototypes and hobby projects. Not the signal to use when staffing teams or planning careers today.

    I wrote a bit on rolling my own 🦞bot because I have trust issues when it comes to root access on my machine https://standardpixel.com/blog/2026/02/26/rolling-my-own-bot.html

    The new Zed Editor terms of service include “You must be 18 or older to use Zed”. I assume this is because of the chat-bot. Teenagers would have to technically lie about their age to use this editor. I wonder how that would have changed my vibes around coding when first started at 14.

    A well documented design system is the unsung hero of the agentic code era

    XFinity sent me a 1-10 “how likely are you to recommend us” survey in response to my 🙃 cancellation call. I’d consider an honest 0, but I bet they’d translate that to a poor job by the agent who did a great job.
