I click. I see an anime girlie bot challenge screen. I hear zoomer pop in ~32k 16-bit stereo. I see JavaScript animations and a seizure-inducing vibecoded layout. I close the tab. "Miss the old web?" The author wasn't even bo

It really does boil down to 'just read the source code bro' but with more of a sense of direction to it. Don't worry about understanding the entire codebase just yet. Instead, try to understand some specific parts of it to be

The 'DEAN' and his goons in this story is a classic example of a psychopath. > The moment I entered the room, the Dean just started shouting at me. > while we were leaving, the Security Officer saw my phone was recording. an

It is literally forced upon you. If you are a fully grown adult, you have every right to use a device you own as you wish. But Apple and the ever-increasingly Orwellian UK government disagree. Your device is crippled until you consent to su

The AI model is likely trained on Stack Overflow posts, or otherwise related content from wherever off the internet, so most likely it will have ripped off enough hand-written posts or articles on how to quit Vim. So of course it can regurg

Any time you want to sign up for any "open social" platform, you have to rush to claim your domain name. If someone else got there first, too bad. And that domain name applies to every app using this protocol. So no chance to cl

The designer wants huge amounts of screen space wasted on unnnecessary padding, massive Fisher-Price rounded corners, and fancy fading and sliding animations that get in the way and slow things down. (Moreover, the designer just happens to

Be honest. How much of this article did you write, and how much did ChatGPT write?

> GPTBot et al. will probably do the same, as more people use AI to replace search. It really won’t. It will steal your website’s content and regurgitate it back out in a mangled form to any lazy prompt that gets prodded into it. GPT bot
