AI research:
Researcher: Claude, please eat ten hamburgers.
Claude: Done! I have eaten ten hamburgers. The first two were delicious, but after that I began to experience bloating and the meat sweats.

A broken, blue heart
With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.
I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.
I am not worried for me. I am worried for people who are being told that learning is redundant and prompting is the only skill needed.
I don't think it takes a lot of time or skill to learn how to tell something how to do a thing.
I do think it takes a lot of time to be able to evaluate if it is doing it correctly.
One of the things I find fascinating about the "you need to learn to use AI or you'll be left behind" crowd is that everyone I know who has been forced to use it has said that the only way to use it in a way that actually results in time savings is to know the field extremely well.

The 3D printed shell of a hand-held gaming system, with no screen or internals. It is styled to resemble the NES color palette, with a "retro platinum" off-white body, cherry red action buttons, and a black d-pad.
You know I had to Mk. II it to ’em.

a fun thing about me is that i calculate my rates with a codepen i made which means that every single time i have an opportunity to pay my mortgage for a little while i am immediately and uncontrollably distracted by the temptation to make said codepen “look nice” for absolutely nobody but me
A series of three Achewood panels. Roast Beef stands at microphone, with an 80s haircut and mustache, glasses, and a short-sleeved shirt and tie. The first panel reads: "Excuse me" The second panel: "I would like to announce" then "That if," and the remainder of this second bubble is hastily edited to read "I hear one more thing about 'AI' today." The third panel: "I am gonna take four shits and die."
now then
I wrote about some things I'm struggling with in the technology industry, preceded by an appreciation for folk music.

JavaScript Iterator․zip landed in Firefox 148, making it simple to loop over multiple things at the same time. Here's how it works:
But it looked a lot more something like this:

To celebrate the launch of the @npmx.dev alpha, I wrote up a guide on how to make your first contribution to an open-source project.
Let me know if this helps you make your first contribution (and it doesn't have to be code)!

that's the good stuff right there
Fully forgot I posted this while walking Zero this morning and was briefly VERY confused by my replies upon logging in.
`3` is itself an expression — a **primary expression**. In the same way the first rule of Tautology Club is Tautology Club's first rule, the number literal `3` is an expression that resolves in a very predictable value (psst, it's three).
In this free lesson from JavaScript for Everyone, @wil.to throws himself upon the sword of "well *technically*..." to explore the relationship between expressions and the values that result from them.

what’s npm
Jack Dorsey is copying the 2023 leadership framework:
- overhire
- lay everyone off
- pretend it's because of AI productivity gains
- stock go up
The layoff victims were some of the most productive, AI-pilled people in the company, but it didn't save them, because that's not what it was about.
The inside of a DIY handheld gaming system based on a Raspberry Pi. It is an absolute snarl of multicolor wires and circuit boards, some of which are loose and draped in electrical tape.
Alright, just gotta find the short in the ol’ Super Wiltondo Entertainment System and I can finish replaying Secret of Mana. Easy-peasy.
