PSA: if you’re in Georgia (the US state, not the country), there’s an important election happening now that you probably don’t know about!

French President Emmanuel Macron called President Trump after being blocked from crossing a New York street due to a VIP motorcade, the AP reported.

Macron told police he was attempting to walk to France’s diplomatic mission following his speech at the United Nations.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits β€” the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

chezmoi - chezmoi Manage your dotfiles across multiple machines, securely.

I have been using www.chezmoi.io to help with this.
It will manage your dotfiles for you. You can also have scripts during initialization, to install a `brew` bundle, and a `mas` bundle too.

With all that, I can have my full setup (apps, plugins, configs) all installed and setup with one cli line.

If news outlets are gonna report that a third of the people ICE kidnapped in LA this past week had criminal records, the least they can do is add the context that 1 in 3 of ALL American adults have a criminal record. It's the number you'd expect if ICE was NOT targeting people with criminal records.

I like this term "Agentic Engineering" so much more, and their definition and approach to using AI in coding. "Vibe Coding" just reminds me way too much of Stack Overflow copy pasta method of "coding"

I really enjoyed this thoughtful piece on why there are so many JavaScript frameworks. Yes it's a pain, but there is a good look at how and why we got here, and why we still stick with React vs Vue, or Next.js all the things.

This is the exact reason why I would defend this pattern. I agree that you should make things easy to understand, but if people are not willing to do the bare minimum investigation they should be re-trained or let go. I never like the idea of "lowering the bar", it just leads to overall bad habits.

Oof I understand your concern. What are your thoughts on doing something like:

```
import { specialRender as render} from 'myTestStuff';
```

If I had to start over learning to code in 2025 do you know what I would start with?

The same thing I started with in the beginning.

- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript

Do you know why even in this world of AI headlines?

I have seen one good use is autocompleting code. It recognizes what I am trying to do, and generates the rest for me. I still need to edit and correct the code, but it does save me time.
AI for first drafts, AND ONLY first drafts, of art, writing, code etc is a good use case in my mind.

In general, I think the mass implementation of AI (spotify, google, etc) has made services absolutely terrible and worse. People think AI is much more powerful than it really is. I equate it to asking a toddler to do something for you... Yes you'll get an answer but not a good or reliable one.

Honestly, this has been my obsession for the last 2 days. Its just so much more pleasant. The customization alone makes the experience so much nicer.
