Artificial intelligence is the pinnacle of high modernism. Can the two be untangled?

Tech workers will establish guilds in our lifetime. Plenty of firms in the midwest already have apprenticeship programs. All we need is journeyman cards and master craftsman certificates.

The nerds really dropped the ball when it comes to promotion tracks. Trying to plot out career trajectory in tech is a crapshoot when there are no industry standards for organizational hierarchy.

People are trying to build seaside network state utopias, meanwhile I live in peace alongside tradcath megafamilies and lesbian polycules in Kentucky.

Pour one out for the poor Figma engineer who went to lunch only to get called back in to fix the Styles microservice.

I don’t code much anymore but when I do I am 50% pissed at complexity of dev environments and 100% blown away with how easy it is to build and deploy websites these days.

Discovered I like farming analogies. Some day I’ll write an essay about real farming, but for now metaphors will have to do https://www.bryanking.blog/seeds-to-sow/

Thinking about extensive corporate design systems and open source ones like Tailwind. HTML and CSS are like paper and pen. You just keep buying boxes of preferred paper and a variety of pen colors and weights.

Is there a word that describes the category of things you only notice when they are absent? for example, you can never truly observe trust, but it's clear when trust is broken.

It's a real shame that my best work will eventually disappear without a trace. How much longer can I keep at this? I'm really not sure…sooner or later I'm going to have to start producing real things. Pixels never last, but atoms surely do. https://www.bryanking.blog/an-honest-days-work/

"It isn't some mystical spiritual realm where souls go after they leave the body. To the contrary, heaven is here, on Earth, within each and every one of the living. It is the memories we have of the fallen and the fingerprints they left on our stories." https://www.bryanking.blog/did-it-happen/

People love to hate on ticketmaster but I bet every Friday at 10am they are handling traffic spikes in the millions, if not tens of millions. And that's not even considering whatever sort of clearinghouse they have to match buyers with their tickets.
