Love this idea. I just hope it doesn't get abused. But less generic articles written by AI would make for much better information searching. SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search | Kagi Blog blog.kagi.com/slopstop


This is what I wish Google looked like. What are your current favourite non-ad-pocalypse / -AI-ified search engines you are using these days? I miss the days when I could search for a topic and find a decently written, well-linked, and relevant article that actually worked.

Hey @mattpocockuk it's been a while since I did your Total Typescript course, but there was a plugin you used for inspecting types that I really loved, and I can't seem to recall it or find it. You'd type // ^? and it would print out the type of an object or the value of a type

This is a nice read about how one engineer fell in love with managing state as a finite state tree. It's interesting how old patterns reemerge in new frameworks, and seeing folks learn them for the first time. My love letter to XState and statecharts ♥ buff.ly/39A3d1Y


The more I use it, the more I love @browsercompany arc. The ability to have all my tabs for a project together I can leave it for weeks come back and know exactly where I was. Today, I found out about the Pull Requests smart folder right as I was about to start a folder for PRs!

Why did Apple choose to make apps completely hidden behind the notch? There must have been some discussion about it on the ux team, and how it potentially breaks many applications if the menu item is hidden... Such a bizarre oversight that has never been addressed.


I will never understand how some UX decisions get made. I'm on a call, waiting on hold. Android offers "call assist". All I expect it to do is listen to the call and let me know when someone picks up so I don't have to listen the automated hold recording every minute. Instead,…


When I was in school, and even early in my career, questioning myself helped me keep ahead. The more I move on the more I realize questioning myself only ever hurts me. Often, I was right, and I just waited long enough to give the opportunity away. Sometimes, I was wrong, and…

Nothing has ever unnerved me like witnessing my child's first time totally ensorcelled by a glowing screen. I spent my entire life stapled to a computer and yet still struggle to manage my own vulnerability to that trance. What if we can't? If we simply haven't evolved for this?

Are there distinct benefits to using the Twitter Articles feature? Are people using it? It keeps popping up since all my tweets are long for Twitter, but I wonder whether it works as well as a regular tweet. It's more my style, though.


What tools do you use to maintain your design system? Where do you keep your source of truth? How do you ensure your finished product match your design?


I don't think I'm prepared for the amount of bullshit on social media, especially with the advent of AI. But I've dealt with more complex problems than guys who have replaced themselves with autocomplete. So I think I'll be okay.
