America is speedrunning dystopia…

Today (25 years later!) you can put a thing in your pocket that can access your entire music collection that's stored in a datacenter the size of several city blocks and you must pay rent to your cell phone provider and to your music datacenter landlord to access it!

Now that's called progress!

I just re-read your OP and realised that I confused exception for (validation) error. So yeah, I agree you should always be able to call `.new.valid?` without getting an exception. Sorry for stirring 😅

It’s tempting, I certainly had similar thoughts over the years but in the end I always come to the same conclusion that it’s ultimately more trouble than it’s worth.

“It’s not a tax. It’s a levy.”

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

As soon as Trump’s friends bought controlling stakes in TikTok, censorship against mentions of “Epstein” was immediately introduced for U.S. users.

Another example of the “free speech” of the “right”.

This is 2010 technology.

In 2025, instead, we get a popup that takes up 1/3 of the screen and says "this website looks better on the app."

Tech bro

Spotify on Linux (installed via Flatpak) is such a bad experience. It drains your battery and makes the fans spin constantly. As a paying customer for, dunno, 10y or so it’s so disappointing that despite all their millions of $ they just don’t care. Some AAA games run better via Proton, FFS.

The GraphQL Asterisk Problem: When Benefits Come with Caveats An exploration of the trade-offs and considerations when using GraphQL and its alternatives.

Spent 7 years in the GraphQL ecosystem. Here's what we got wrong:

❌ POST'ing documents as default
❌ Selling "versionless" APIs as realistic
❌ Ignoring HTTP caching entirely
❌ Making it complex for beginners

✅ The tech is solid. The guidance needs work.

The Hovercar Framework for Deliberate Product Design • Lea Verou Many teams start with the MVP. But what if the key to shipping great products wasn’t starting small — but starting big? Could great products start at the finish line?

@lea.verou.me Was skimming your post lea.verou.me/blog/2025/ho... and opened dev tools by accident. Noticed that there’s a long comment starting with ### CSS Conic Gradients and now I’m wondering whether that’s a bug with your SSG or CMS of choice?

The persistent myth that Steve Jobs just had genius ideas emerge out of his genius brain without incrementally building on prior work or observing humans or learning from huge mistakes continues to make people stupid.

Hey, if the media is interested in a cover-up of a senile president who's not really in control of his White House, there's one going on right now?

Quality is never an accident.

Yeah, that’s what I mean.

Note, I’m not making a value judgement but trying to clarify (financial) expectations as I’d like to add editing features to various client products using gems/packages that build on top of TipTap.

If you use ProseMirror in your paid products there’s a social expectation that you fund its development. But that message is totally lost with TipTap unless I’m missing something.

I wonder, if there’s a social expectation to fund ProseMirror if you use it in your paid products one way or another then that message should probably be carried forward as well by TipTap et al., dunno.

Would love to hear your thoughts @afomera.dev and @konnorrogers.com.

ProseMirror In-browser structured text editing component

More and more I see rich text editors built on top of TipTap which itself is built on top of prosemirror.net. However, I see little mention of funding ProseMirror. It’s only a social expectation if the business that makes money (s. link). TipTap does mention that at all. Thoughts?
