During the pandemic, I worked on a side project to help parents create lessons for their kids, but it was too time-consuming. Now, with smarter AIs like GPT, I wanted to revisit the idea.

Imagine inputting the text and letting GPT generate questions for your kids to study. Plus, I could expand it with vocabulary lessons, programming syntax practice, and more. I wrote about it here and love hear your thoughts!

How to use AI to create personalized learning experiences

Ready for the new week with my new Dingbats notebook. 😍

After two years my old Leuchtturm was full. Always exciting to start with a fresh new notebook!

It’s wild that so many trackers were added to the Shopify website in the first place. They’re bad for privacy, performance, user experience and security.

Glad to see a CEO step in to remove them. Ordinary web developers on the work floor are generally quite powerless to prevent this.

Good morning #caturday
So much snow right now! Was not expecting that.

Someone asked ChatGPT to write an interesting anecdote about my home town Bilthoven. It tells about how one of Holland most famous writers decided to move to Bilthoven to write one of his novels there.

Super interesting.... but totally made up.

I think we can add ChatGPT to the already long list of things on the internet you cannot trust, even though it seems trustworthy. Very worrying if you ask me.

Pretty impressed by the fluidity of the interactions of the Netflix app. I mean, look at this!

It seems that Twitter is cutting off access to third party apps. Unsurprising maybe, but still shocking.

If You Needed Any More Confirmation, Internal Slack Messages at Twitter Show That Cutting Off Third-Party Clients Was ‘Intentional’

Proof that server side rendering is one of the hardest things to get right in a React frontend: I just encountered an SSR error on the ChatGPT website, even though the team behind it has built the smartest AI in the world. 🤔
