the obvious solution to this problem: build my own RSS reader
(and never implement the unread count)
I was laid-off and am looking for a new role.
Working where design meets code is my jam. I am skilled at building accessible design system components, working with Web Components APIs, and creating scalable CSS architecture.
I work remotely from my home in Manitoba, Canada. 🇨🇦

my ISP, who i fortunately never need to interact with, emailed me about a "new enhanced experience" in their customer service portal.
they've probably added an LLM chatbot, haven't they? (i don't plan on finding out)
@heydon i had a similar experience when i switched to netlify, but sticking with it so far. this thread has some responses: https://front-end.social/@mayank/113437507042733085
if you just want something very simple, maybe https://yay.boo/ is worth looking at, though it's a bit too limiting for me (i need CI)

Does Jira exist for AI? Does it write its own tickets?
Jira has AI now that helps write JQL. lol.
Nailed it.
LOL! Oops! Silly auto correct in iOS always thinking it knows more than me. Fixed. Thank you for the heads up!
Hehehe. So true!
There’s a bit of a narrative though.
In Waterfall, you tend to build the pieces, then build up, but may not have anything functional until the end.
In Agile, you focus on building something basic & working first, then iterate, improving it but keeping it functional through your iterations.
The last one (AI) is a non-sequitur pile of unrelated nonsense.
I think that’s a big part of the tech joke.
Waterfall & Agile 👍
I think the AI iterations are not unrelated, but are meant to show the deterioration in the process of prompting. Like:
Prompt 1: Build me a car.
-> AI produces the car lookalike.
P2: That doesn't look like a cat¹ and it should have one more wheel.
-> AI produces a cat tricycle.
P3: Damn, not a cat, btw. animals don't have wheels.
-> AI produces a duckling (not a cat) w/o wheels.
¹ typo intended (via ALT hint by @raphaelmorgan)
Hehe. I noticed that too.
@mookie the thing is: With waterfall you may end up with the car as planned but than you realize, you needed a truck instead.
And with agile you actually end up with a car that has teeny tiny skateboard wheels and a wooden frame because that's how you started and replacing it would be to expensive.
So AI is the only approach that is consistent all the way. You start with crap, the in-between is crap and the end result is crap.

You can have a versatile car in a year.
A golf cart in a month.
Or a duck in a day.

Attached: 1 image Because fuck AI and those using it, here's my version of this meme which is about how we create things, with a car as an example. It took me 20min, I added some personnality and even added my special intererests into the mix. This is what the internet should be.
