To Live In A World Without AI | Nic Payne

pype.dev [1]
We f&#ing said @pype.dev, well f&#ing said. I think a lot of us are feeling this, we’ve pitched our brain into a bucket and we are no longer stretching it in the same way. We still work in similar ways of old, with new ways of turning off and saying yes a bunch of times. the best thing I can hope for is that as things get better we have fewer yes loops, and more architectural design debates and deep thoughts. But I fear deep thoughts are gone to the way of “research the leading 10 frameworks and pick the best one for this project.” and letting the clankers do the deep thinking. Its signing us up for a weird distopia.
I think a lot of us wish we could undo what has happened and go back to actually understanding what we are doing, but the world has changed, and if you are building average shit, like the average person, using models trained on average people doing average shit you cant keep up anymore.

I love the level of thought that Jim has put into these changes and making sure that urls don’t change. I’ve got a big change in flight to my main site and this is one of the reasons that I’ve been sitting on it so long. I want to make sure urls arent broken, redirects work as they should, and there are no 404’s from existing urls. Currently the new version only exists on a separate deployement https://go.waylonwalker.com/
I also added the ability to “shuffle” between posts. This is mostly for myself. I like to randomly jump through notes I’ve published in the past for reoccurring inspiration
Love this idea and have it on my new site already as well, and have really enjoyed using it by pressing it a dozen or so times over the course of a few sessions.

Does anyone think fast-code will continue to pay the same salary? The answer isn’t to switch your brain off during your McCode shift and write a poem after work. Your job will be replaced by a Banglasdeshi slop-shop if AI improves (which is inevitable, apparently). Possibly the same sweatshop that loomed my £3 T-shirt. The Luddites didn’t accept their fate so easily.
David has some good points here, but I’m feeling the opposite direction a bit. Execs have always liked keeping the PM’s and the people steering the ship close by and were willing to farm out more and more grunt work. It feels like we are in a weird phase where there used to be a big group of people paid to write code. A few of them are exceptionally good at it and will remain. There will be a need for these people everywhere. Somehow we still need people hand editing assembly code optimizations, fortran, and cobol today. Those industries largely moved on, but a few great ones remain. I think this fast-code slop factory is going to be a short forgotten time in history, but no one yet knows what’s next. We are all waiting t...
Dreaming of a ten-year computer – alexwlchan
alexwlchan.net [1]
Great gusto here from someone looking to fill landfills less. Get more use from what they paid for. Dodge some tough times in the hardware industry. I’m going to argue that the 10 year computer is not one bit crazy right now. No idea what the future entails, if local llms get good enough to really get so useful they feel required this could easily change. One issue I had with the post as they are looking to get a machine for the next 10 years is they were so focused on themself that they missed the point. They were so focused on buying something that would work for them for 10 years that they bought something brand new rather than thinking about the bigger issue of how do we get hardware to last 10+ years. Some factor of this involves giving our devices a second life. Two things went wrong here. First it appears they they have a perfectly good imac with a broken screen. I know nothing about apple/imac, assuming that the screen is toast and unrepairable, I know you can ssh into a mac this feels like good potential for server hardware. Next they purchased a brand new mac mini. Hardware has been good for a long time,...

Very interesting takes from @thdxr in this interview. A lot has been hashed out by others all over the place, but a hot take here is that code quality is higher than ever right now. Codebases are becoming more consistent than ever. If you are not starting with a good consistent base from the start you are poising your context and doomed to fail and have all the common failures of ai written code. He still reads almost every PR, and will read all of the code eventually. There are a few cases where reading the PR is not worthwhile only when its low stakes, knows that good patterns have been established and followed. He argues that someone needs to be the expert of the code and of the product still and fears that too many people not looking at prs will fail companies.

Pluralistic: The web is bearable with RSS (07 Mar 2026) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow
pluralistic.net [1]
It’s wild how much of a hit Google took from killing reader, almost any time I hear about killedbygoogle, reader is the top of the list. Its the thing that we all remember being really good and the incumbants just did not match up. Somehow we are here 13 years later still bitching about it, despite it only having a 6 year run. You should probably get an rss reader, and follow some incredible people that make feeds. Most sites that produce content have the ability to subscribe over rss. Unlike @pluralistic.net, I dont read in my reader. My reader is just a list of links out to the web and I typically read it how the author intended on their site. I nod a long to Cory’s enshitified internet just as much as the next guy, I love text based interfaces, I despise the bloat that js has brought on. But I don’t believe all js is bad, I don’t turn it off, even though he has me questioning this now. News sites kinda suck, we can agree there, but its rare that a small indie web creator has fully enshitified their site with js. I don’t buy that. Sub to the feeds.

Learned about this one from the @stipete interview [2] @scotthanselman did on YouTube. This is proof that the internet is alive. It’s such web 1.0 nostalgia to see that people can just build things! Did you know that you can literally just build things and make them exist? You don’t need users, You don’t need a big platform, you can just make something into existance. It seems like something we have forgotten through web 2.0 where everything as become 4 major apps all linking to each other and trying to hoard all of the attention. Scroll through tehre are some really cool apps, probably nothing that has the polish you want, or is going to change your world. What these apps have more than anything you’ve probably used in the recent years, is inspiration. Its xyz, but the way I wanted, or with my little twist. And no one else has to like it but me because I’m the user.

The answer is I do it habitually. If there’s a big enough idea I’ve had floating around in my head and I think others might find it useful / interesting then I usually think it’s worth logging it somewhere. If I don’t, I’ll likely just keep thinking about it so might as well get it out of my head and on the internet where people can find it.

This is how you do it. If you want to do something, you need to make it a habit. Something you crave, something you need. I need to write my ideas down in this blog, it helps me index ideas for later, but more importantly it helps me flesh them out and think through real things.

Never believe in absolutes, see what I did there. The hype bros will take you to the extremes, ai will take your jobs in six months or be burned to the ground in six months. How about its useful now and will be more useful in six months. If you turned off the hype bro feed for six months you would probably be fine, in fact you would probably be better off for not capturing so much noise along the way. AI has gone the way of next js framework, it churns fast, hype bros are always an expert that know exactly whats best for everyone. It changes fast, what was the best last week might be dead next week. In fact getting to know what works well for you and knowing that tool really well for a longer period will take you farther.
