Sajal ChoudharyWhat do coders do after AI
Compared to those who see this just as a job, are not passionate about it, and seem like people who will be replaced by AI.

Walled CultureWikipedia at 25 grapples with new challenges arising from generative AI
Wikipedia celebrated its 25th birthday this month. Given the centrality of Wikipedia to so much activity online, it is hard to remember (or to imagine, for those who are younger) a time without Wikipedia. The latest statistics are impressive:
Wikipedia is viewed nearly 15 billion times every month.
Wikipedia contains over 65 million articles across more than 300 languages.
Wikipedia is […]

Khürt WilliamsSunday Paper: Markdown’s Quiet Power, Systems, AWS’s Reality Check, Apple’s Creator Studio
Sunday Paper is where I jot down links and ideas that caught my attention this week, with a few personal reactions along the way.https://islandinthenet.com/sunday-paper-markdown-systems-power-and-platforms/
synlogic4242A great new piece by Anil Dash (@anildash) on the *shitshow* (my words) that is OpenAI's Atlas, and the dangers of anti-web technology in general:
https://www.anildash.com//2025/10/22/atlas-anti-web-browser/
I disagree with him, however, and fundamentally, about CLIs, but that is the *only* part of his piece I feel he gets wrong. I think he either doesn't like them (ie. a subjective taste thing) or simply doesn't understand their capabilities and culture enough. That is not uncommon, and its perfectly ok. He's a brilliant thinker and writer and we're lucky to have him crafting and sharing his essays with us so often!
On a related note, I've been privately sketching out some pieces about the power and pleasure and idealism of CLIs for several years, mostly as private WIPs. Seeing Mr. Dash get CLIs so wrong (cue the obligatory XKCD about seeing someone being wrong on the Internet -- the worst sin to a hyper-geek) has pushed me over the edge into deciding I should polish something up and share it too. About Terminals, CLIs, shells, REPLs, APIs and TUIs in general. I've been using them daily -- and building things out of them, and shipping -- for several decades. Ditto on GUIs. So... I have *thoughts* on it. :-) Backed by loads of observation and hands-on experiences.
moongoldChatGPT's Atlas: The Browser That's Anti-Web - @AnilDash

"ChatGPT may give you inaccurate information", but nobody is going to think that means "sometimes this tool completely fabricates content, gives me a box that looks like a search box, and shows me the fabricated content in a display that looks like a web page when I type in the fake search box".
Well worth your reading time.

ResearchBuzz: FirehoseAnil Dash: The Internet of Consent. “Nobody asks for anything, they just take it. There’s not even an acknowledgement, that any of this stuff is happening let alone a conversation about it. Meanwhile, we’ve been telling our kids that the standard for decent people is enthusiastic consent. That’s very evidently not the case for the tycoons running the technology industry.”

JWcph, Radicalized By DecencyIf you have access to a billionaire [...] most are very easy to program by simply playing to their insecurity and desire for acknowledgement of exceptionalism, and so they push each other further and further into extreme ideas because their entire careers have been predicated on the idea that they're genius outliers who can see things others can't, and that their wealth is a reward for that imagined merit.
