I can totally imagine a not-too-distant future where writing code by hand (and thus exposing the loophole in the tithes system) is considered an act of rebellion. And where being _able_ to write code by hand marks you out as - to a certain group of people - a dangerous person indeed.
From the counterculture, into the mainstream and now slowly back into the shadows again…
I'm excited to release Just the Browser! It helps you remove AI features, sponsored content, shopping integrations, and other annoyances from desktop web browsers.
This project includes configuration files (group policies), a simple setup script, and guides for manual installation. It supports Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Everything is open-source on GitHub.

Jared’s work on @bridgetown has been fantastic.
Brighton Ruby CFP, closes end of February.
Don't just AI splurge. Stand out with a thoughtful talk submission that only you can give.
I offer _lots_ of time in advance to help hone your talk and build confidence for the big day.
I made Lookbook when I was *very* new to Ruby and I'm super-self conscious about how bad the Ruby in it is.
So I'm really enjoying writing fresh new code... that I can hate just as much in three years time 🙄
And on a related note over Christmas I started a project to implement a new parser-analyzer engine for Lookbook:
https://github.com/lookbook-hq/booklet
Still very early days (it's very much *not* ready for public use yet) but I'm excited about its potential, both as a more flexible, extendable, sane(!) foundation for Lookbook and as something that will hopefully make building things like Murilo's visual tester tool much more straightforward.
Finally got around to taking a proper look at this visual regression tester for Lookbook:
https://github.com/muriloime/lookbook_visual_tester
It's very cool! It makes me so happy when people take time to build stuff like this that extends the capabilities of Lookbook.
And the chap that made it (Murilo) has some interesting ideas for other Lookbook-related tools too. Love it :)
Spending the holidays processing just how betrayed I feel by the software and web industry
Basically my career has been fifteen years of hope and promise—some fulfilled, some not—followed by a decade where the industry dropped all pretence and switched to just overtly looting, manipulating, and gouging.
Being a bit angry about it is probably quite reasonable
