In other words: I do maps on websites, maintaining the Leaflet JS library when I can, but working on Gleo (my own JS+WebGL library) otherwise.

Github is now a subsidiary of the MICROS~1 Spicy Autocomplete division, so I guess it's time to re-up my "LOL Github" I-told-you-so post from 2018, since in those intervening 7 years you have all learned nothing.
Anyway, good luck with that! I hope your migrations go really well.

Several people sent me this: Github is no longer an independent company; rather as of today Github is *under* the AI team. As far as I'm concerned, this is an open admission the function of Github is not to host source code, but rather as an intake for Microsoft to *harvest* source code to train their AI.
I guess it always seemed unlikely MS would've paid all that money to altruistically host the open source community. "Oh, I didn't get rich by writing a lot of checks…"
> If I lose my job due to AI, it will be because I used it so much it made me lazy and stupid to the point where another human has to replace me and I become unemployable. I shouldn't invest time in AI. I should invest more time studying new things that interest me.

Frontend devs. Sweeties. Let's talk.
Do you remember the Web in the 90s? I do. My computer today has more RAM than my computer in the 90s had hard disk. My cable modem today can download that amount of data several times over every second.
The web today feels as slow today as it did in the 90s. On a 56k modem.
It's not your fault. I get it. Business demands, shifting frameworks. But engineer to engineer here, I'm really gonna need you to start telling them no. It's getting embarrassing.
Bueno, a riesgo de cabrearme estando de vacaciones, van unos comentarios sobre la IA cuando uno es un fisioterapeuta de tres al cuarto como un servidor.
¿Opinión? No, señora, casos reales de los últimos meses. Me los quitan de las manos.
Reflexión sobre esas cosas que la gente llama IAs*:
Son el comodín del público del 50x15.
Te van a dar una respuesta, y te van a dar lo más estadísticamente probable, y nunca te van a decir "no sé". Que para cosas sencillas puede estar bien, pero para cosas complicadas no te deberías fiar un pelo.
