Sometimes you end up typing gail.com (typo) instead of gmail.com and you get this nice little website. Hah!

On m'a coupé le courant vendredi, et donc Internet, pendant 2h. L'occasion de finir cet article sur la tendance actuelle à ne jurer que par la productivité… au détriment de la qualité.

Une tendance exacerbée par les IA, mais qui ne date pas d'hier.

A couple of months ago a family friend had a very serious health issue and he couldn't move or speak much. So I put together a web app with a set of phrases, connected to a game controller, in a way that he could just select phrases from the list to communicate. Luckily this person got better quickly, and this app was no longer needed, but I decided to improve this experiment and publish it as an Open Source project.

So, this is VoxEase. It can be operated with a mouse, a touch screen, a computer keyboard, a game controller using a single hand, or you can set it to scan the list of phrases automatically so you only need to press one button to pick your phrase.
It only requires a modern browser and once downloaded it works offline.
It supports multiple languages and it can also be used by people with sight impairments (it works with screen readers).

Any suggestions on how to make it better are welcome!

“I wanted the blue checkmark on LinkedIn. The one that says “this person is real.” In a sea of fake recruiters, bot accounts, and AI-generated headshots, it seemed like a smart thing to do.

So I tapped “verify.” I scanned my passport. I took a selfie. Three minutes later — done. Badge acquired. I felt a tiny dopamine hit of legitimacy.

Then I did what apparently nobody does. I went and read the privacy policy and terms of service.

Not LinkedIn’s. The other company’s”

Fin 2021, L'Équipe faisait partie des sites que j'avais utilisé pour comparer la performance d'une navigation MPA et d'une navigation SPA dans ma présentation "Encore plus rapide que les SPA ?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px3NTHZb0S0 à @WeLoveSpeed.

En ce début 2026, L'Équipe a changé d'architecture pour passer en MPA. https://medium.com/lequipe-tech/de-spa-à-mpa-reprendre-en-main-la-performance-500c506d2983

Comme ma comparaison était expérimentale (en labo), je suis ravi que l'on constate effectivement les bienfaits en production (via du real user monitoring).

AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.
PR gets rejected.
AI agent *writes and publishes blog to shame the maintainer*.

What a time to be alive.

Some anti anti-AI arguments are really bordering on ignorant stupidity and show a lack of historical and political awareness.

It is possible to recognize that LLMs work well enough for the average company for software these days AND still not use them for many ethical, political or personal reasons.

I can also see that a car would ease my life and bring me faster from A to B and still not own one for plenty of good reasons.

I can also choose where/when I take a stand and follow my conscience

La milice fasciste de Trump cherche à utiliser les données de tracking publicitaire pour ses investigations.

On avait prévenu. Ce n'est plus un futur hypothétique, c'est maintenant.

Bloquez la pub. Et si vous bossez dans l'informatique, soyez à la hauteur. Et syndiquez-vous.
