Has someone made an “ai-free” jobs board yet?
As in: jobs at places that don’t use / refuse to use AI?
Your local queer programmer.
Work- and coding-related things, probably some anger at techbros, etc.

Lincoln RussellPHP's drop in "popularity" mirrors the post-2010 enshittification of the Web.
The longer I am in this industry, the more I believe the monopolists spread FUD about it because there is nothing more dangerous to them than a dominant Web stack that cannot have its value captured & extracted by one of them, yet is capable of spinning up competitors overnight by a labor market they haven't homogenized & deskilled.
#PHP might be the most dangerous Web tech for capital.
Incredibly lukewarm take; try {..} catch {..} is the literal worst pattern to have spread this widely.

I would love to know how that math works out. Like, legitimately I’m curious. Because they are raising the prices for all _existing_ instances. Is that just a clever way to distribute the increased costs across the user base so that new instances don’t get obscenely expensive? Or are they actually also giving themselves a neat lil profit rise with this?

I don't know who I blame more for this, Apple or Docker, but the fact that I can't open Docker Desktop on my MacBook because you can only do that through a menubar icon, which the MacBook cuts off those items wayyy too early because of its silly camera island, is driving me up the wall 🙃
