"AI" coding assistants slow developers down. But they think they've become faster. Dunning-Kruger at work :) (Clarification: Dunning-Kruger has been debunked, but the term is generic enough to be used in this case: describing how we often overestimate our capacities and stay ignorant, even when objective results show we guessed wrong)

Now I need to stick with posting these every week…

"But I like programming. I like writing. I like making things and then being able to sit back and look at them and think, holy fuck, I made that. There is no joy for me in typing a vague description into a computer and refreshing my way through a parade of Whatever until something is good enough."

Incidentally, I read the article with this energy: https://youtu.be/Xz7_3n7xyDg

At this point, the terribly confusingly named product "Drupal CMS" should be renamed to "Drupal AiCMS" or "Drupal AI/XP" or something.

Placate marketeers, warn potential users, and further distance the infernal contraption from Drupal Core in one fell swoop.

Hello Fedi friends!

My child and I arrived in Italy yesterday to spend all of July at my parents' 🇮🇹

What's the first thing I did this morning? Following @milano to have weather forecasts here in my feed.

Special thanks to @stefano for creating this incredible project.

For those of you not familiar with #FediMeteo, it covers 2893 cities in 38 countries. All powered by a 4€/month VPS with #snac and #freeBSD:

Grazie Stefano! 🙏✨🏆

Today I was reminded that old online chats offered context awareness for the people online: you knew you won't be a bother to a friend who has a smiley flower as a status; and you knew you might not be getting a quick reply from someone who's Away.

Today I don't even know if my friends are online or not. The messenger apps make the assumption that everyone is online, and if not, they will receive a push notification, and will reply to you as soon as possible. But this assumption is barely true. I bet it makes lives harder, especially for ND people
