i think I'm happy having no experience in that matter!

I realised the other day that I had backed up most of my university work in EPS format. I don't have any software that can open it! 🫠

maybe it's fair to call something "useless" because to be useful it must also not have major objections or downsides e.g. asbestos is effectively "useless" (I see some utility myself, but given prompt injection / non-deterministic nature it's massively over-hyped tech)

i keep asking myself why my own website doesn't have a larger font size for blog posts i zoom my own website to proof-read 💀

that's still a lot of money for most people in the world but also, much of the discourse about AI replacing development requires an order of magnitude more token cost you're obviously not tokenmaxxing ;)

i saw an icon font in the wild a few days ago 😭 of course it was broken, I just saw generic squares

@dbushell.comOct 13, 2026, 7:13 AM

this is the point proponents are failing to see (especially if their employer is paying): very few individuals can afford this tech and a lot of companies are starting to question their ROI (and the cost isn't going down any time soon)

🙏 not sure what I was thinking when I left a comment yesterday: "I'll fix this, unless you'd like to have a go?" ...after I created a merge conflict.

oh ok!

@dbushell.comOct 12, 2026, 2:17 PM

but you're a real human? what part is automated?

@dbushell.comOct 12, 2026, 1:22 PM

hmm I'm confused, so are you a spam bot? lol

@dbushell.comOct 12, 2026, 8:29 AM

nah they'd stuff it with React divs

what are these robot icons next to account names of Bluesky, and why shouldn't I block them on sight? 🤖

@dbushell.comOct 12, 2026, 5:56 AM

it's certainly an improvement over thumbs-up emojis on GitHub

this needs to be law, maybe even a human right

Seeing all these great Interop 2027 picks from web developers! (would be a shame if browser vendors ignored them for their own interests)

maybe the author already hated cloudflare but didn't recall why it's not like they were using cloudflare until now
