My friend Jeremy (who made the most useful extension for Tumblr back in the day) commented on my tweet about Reddit/Apollo and it was a very good reminder that companies changing the rules on their APIs and fucking over devs is sadly not at all a new story. It’s really easy to want to knee-jerk blame it on Elon — but recall that three previous Twitter regimes (Ev, Dick, Jack) all did shit like this to various extents.

No random open source application, I do not want to join your Discord channel for support. There's this really cool technology called hypertext markup language, and if you use it for your documentation another piece of amazing technology called a search engine can help me find the answer I'm looking for And the real magic is you only have to answer it once and the answer helps anyone. You don't have to answer the same question every day. This frees you up for more fun development

Just got (unsolicited!) an email of an essay from Marc Andreessen that is clearly meant to be his definitive statement on AI, akin to his "software eating the world" polemic, and it is so _stupid_, so willfully intellectually dishonest, that anyone who reports on it, or reacts to it, with anything other than dismissal is either a fool or complicit in his explicitly authoritarian agenda. The guy who is explicitly in favor of colonialism is... still in favor of colonialism. Fuck that.

Lessons, living with parents with dementia: when an app on their phone spontaneously changes it's icon, it's a fucking disaster. Some Google engineer launched a feature that got them a promotion and now my mom can't use her phone anymore. Silicon Valley is incapable of imagining a user who isn't a 27 year old white man.
