AI is creating a generation of illiterate programmers 1 year ago

It's all in how you use it. Copy/paste driven development has long been a meme in the programming community.

For me, AI is like pairing with a very knowledgeable and experienced developer that has infinite time, infinite patience, and zero judgements about my stupid questions or knowledge gaps. Together, we tackle roadblocks, dive deep into concepts, and as a result, I accept less compromises in my work. Hell, I've managed to learn and become productive in Vim for the first time in my career with the help of AI.

Maybe Bluesky has "won" 2 years ago

I loved Twitter. It was this magic place where I could connect with both friends and legends in my field (programmers). That’s not what it is anymore and it’s impossible to ignore how political it’s become.

Bluesky feels like Twitter used to and it’s shockingly refreshing to hear about industry news and friendly updates rather than some “pick-up artist” explaining how women are too privileged these days.

1Password: Standalone / Local Vault Option Gone? 7 years ago

I find the product division between 1Password 7 and 1PasswordX confusing. I've been a standalone user since the start, and it's hard not to feel like I'm on the unblessed path. Clearly AgileBits wants reoccurring revenue, so it's in their best interest to push everyone over to that model. I find myself periodically feeling anxious that one day I'll wake up and they'll have just removed the option to sync with other providers like iCloud or Dropbox.
