Am I the only one that has noticed the massive increase in buggy software across almost every domain? Like, EVERYTHING has so many more bugs now. Things just break constantly. AI isn’t one shotting fixing bugs, it’s one shotting making hundreds of new ones.

the amount of people that do not understand how big of an improvement passkeys are is really saddening. They think that somehow these tech companies are utilizing this in some nefarious way, rather than the very very simple explanation that ... tech companies don't want to be responsible for more breaches.

Passkeys are so simple and such a huge improvement that it's literally all upsides and no downsides. Either you use their passkey managers like you would their password managers and it's safer for them, or you use your own password manager with passkeys in it and it's still safer for them.

You have a vast misunderstanding of why passkeys aren't transferrable or usable outside of those providers. It had nothing to do with lock-in, but because every implementation was different. And no, you do not 'depend on the site' to let you use that option instead of a major provider. There's a standard now and everyone is following it. If you can use a passkey you can use your password manager to manage that passkey.

it's not subversive. it's a string, it has no effect on the code output. Only a rogue bot would interpret it as anything except a string. No human user would ever encounter an issue.

Not unique to you. Been using Github every day for over 15 years and it wasn't until I started using Refined Github that it was easy to find the releases page. Horrific design.

These were exactly the things that drew me to Svelte as well. And yes, the author is right. If they had claimed that you should use Svelte for everything I would have immediately stopped trusting them.

Svelte is very nice for backend engineers to use for a frontend framework. It makes way more sense from a mental model, and it's incredibly lightweight, at least from what I've seen in other frameworks.

It's the exact same way I feel about Ruby. You definitely shouldn't be using it for everything, even most things, but the stuff it's good at it beats Python by a mile. And it's so much more pleasant to use.

I’ve only partially read over you wrote and am heading into the mountains on vacation, but I will try to read over what you’ve written here sometime this weekend.

Scrapers yes, but the majority of AI bots hitting programming.dev do announce who they are.

AI bots will sometimes get stuck requesting the same URL over and over again for no reason. Make sure you check the user agent of the requests.

I did. Didn’t function at all. Had a ton of issues with the sound card and the nvidia graphics driver also shit the bed multiple times and many games didn’t work. Same for mint though.
