Exceptionally good article on UI design, using Tahoe's regressions as examples of what not to do. Lots of side-by-side examples making the abstract obvious. tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/ Via @daringfireball.

Viktor Tsoi is the major musical influence on my work that the most readers will never have heard of, let alone heard.

Remember the internet .com bubble? During the bubble companies hired programmers with reckless abandon in a futile attempt to get ahead of the curve. When the bubble popped they found they had over-invested in programmers and had to freeze hiring and lay them off. That lasted for a year or so. Now we are in the AI bubble. That it _is_ a bubble is evident by the "stupid money" being paid as recruiting bonuses to AI "experts". (e.g. Meta agreed to pay a 24 year old "expert" $250M) The effect of this bubble is a hiring freeze for programmers. Executives hope/fear that AI will allow them to lay off lots of programmers so they don't dare hire any right now. When this bubble pops (and it will, probably within a year or so) these companies will find that they are _under_-invested in programmers and will have to start hiring them with reckless abandon. History repeats itself; but sometime in the mirror.

Как программист, я больше всего люблю: - Протирать стол перед работой - Когда буквы по экрану бегут буп-пуп-пуп - Придумывать названия библиотек - Все старое и ничего нового - Низкий лейтенси

"Simplicity is hard work. But, there's a huge payoff. The person who has a genuinely simpler system - a system made out of genuinely simple parts, is going to be able to affect the greatest change with the least work..." @richhickey Amen to that. 👆 #Clojure
