Funny story: I made this because despite having the global no-attribution setting turned on, Claude still regularly tags itself. I'm sure it's a context thing — but boy is it annoying.

Thanks for the mobile heads up! The manifesto is me. The website is not — and I'd like to argue that's very non-ironic! Here's the making of, linked at the bottom. https://no-ai-coauthors.dev/making-of.html

I'm the author ('author'?), and I'll push back: it's solidly non-ironic! Here's a link from the bottom of the page. https://no-ai-coauthors.dev/making-of.html

AI Co-authors are impressive marketing, but deleterious to dev work. This manifesto website includes a git commit-msg hook for your favorite hook manager, and a GitHub Action for preventing contributions containing them from landing in your

If you write your library in typescript, not JS, do you still have any of these problems? If not, it sounds like one core issue is 'adding types to an existing untyped codebase is hard'. This checks out. :)

(And of course FRP setups have to iterate! They're refining the model to declaratively represent 20 years worth of UI convention!)

I spent a while trying to approach this post with an open mind. In the end I was disappointed. rel/to title: yes. (just say scroll position. fine.) But also I think this is pretty well understood! (No?) - In declarative UI / FRP &

There’s a pretty good argument for functional monopolies facilitating innovation! We like our transistors and all that.

The argument’s about societal wastefulness, not FB’s business acumen. I.e. It’s nontrivial to be more wasteful than it would be to have multiple teams duplicating the same product. (Strong disagree on your suggestion that the centralisation

FWIW State granted monopolies are a common pattern for infrastructure. Strong +1 on the ensuing twisted incentives.

I'd love any pointers to precedent for how this plays out from here. 1. The acquisition was >1 year ago. (And there's some question of whether FB followed the correct process.) 2. The antitrust concern is in one major market wi

This is the newly-normal software subscription package or a stipend to bootstrap a project. Both feel pretty normal! Even if it is the former, updates & improvements take work. And they seem likely to be necessary here.

I could never set up my own radio station :). The point of spotify moving into podcasts is to make a netflix-like channel that 1) attracts user and so 2) attracts more publishers. In turn, Spotify can do dynamically targeted and unskippable

Just like how the blog-web died with walled gardens. TV shows were always centrally distributed.

"Airbnb announced today that Silver Lake and Sixth Street Partners will invest $1 billion in Airbnb in a combination of debt and equity securities." What does this mean relative to a private stock purchase?

I resent the length of my time the author spent, verbosely and banally, telling me that he resents the length of his time Wallace spent through banal verbosity in Infinite Jest.
