Meanwhile in the real world, I think I’m going to downgrade from my partly broken iPhone 17 back to my partly broken iPhone mini. It’s not any slower and I’m sick of carrying big phones.

particularly fond of this CTA. Figured I&#39;d lean into the kind of things VC funded companies can&#39;t say/do

Just like I did with my personal blog, adding a little email newsletter sign up to the Kinopio blog so you don&#39;t have to rely on social media to know when there&#39;s something new to read

Congrats to https://neal.fun for winning the tiny web awards with Cursor Camp. As a bonus, open the browser console and inspect WS traffic for a nice peek at how the real time collaboration and syncing is set up https://tinyawards.net/2026/

in the kinopio blog header I wanted to mention that all the articles are completely written by a person (me) with zero AI. So I added the phrase &#39;Completely hand-written&#39;. to the blurb. Does that convey the idea, or should I be more explicit? suggestions? My philosophy is that if the author didn&#39;t bother to write it, I don&#39;t want to bother to read it.

Even though I fall into the trap sometimes , I think it’s a bad idea to generalize whole generations. Like all “gen-z kids are lonely and only live in their phones” , but I see teens working at restaurants and stores both talking to and rizzing up their coworkers all the time

Found this online and couldn&#39;t not share it. Companies never needed AI to make software development miserable, the pain was inside them all along.

Are you distrustful by default of trying new web software because you&#39;ve been burned by tools you rely on getting sunset or enshittifying?

The side-benefit of promoting new features using screencaptures with no editing is that if something doesn&#39;t work smoothly enough to demo then I&#39;m compelled to fix it for real, rather than hide the seams with fancy video editing tricks

No one likes C3PO more than R2D2. But for some reason big tech is obsessed with C3PO-style computers that speak and act like humans you can love (and make love to) – instead of R2D2-style charming machines that beep, bloop and are joyfully and obviously machines.
