I got malaise for days, my guy
I used to be able to smell the difference between a Drupal site, an Expression Engine site, a WordPress site...
I could smell the difference between a Bootstrap or Foundation site...
I could smell React or Tailwind on a site...
I tell you, dear reader, none of those compare to the curse of being able to smell the Claude Code design skill. It's ruining the web for me.

Oh sweet! My print’s done. Let me go check it—

🚀 I made a smol ~2kb syntax highlighter that uses the CSS `::highlight()` API.
- About 2 KiB compressed
- No runtime dependencies
- Uses `::highlight()` not `<span>`
- Languages loaded on-demand
- Human readable CSS themes + light-dark()
- Editable code block support
- And a custom element for more features!

Now I just assume anytime I read the word “quietly” in a headline it was written with AI.
@nprofile1q... Last week I've notied that my youtube algorithm hit a notable tipping point towards recommending slop.
Which is great because I need to kick that habit.

A neighborhood in Phoenix did some guerilla permaculture by cutting curbs and capturing rainwater instead of letting the water flow into a sewer. Now the streets are thiving with local plant life. Very solarpunk.

Yard Project Standup: Fucked up my yard real good with the tiller. Mixed in some good topsoil. Soil is much happier and less compacted. Laying out some unearthed limestone rocks for a cute path to my office. And then a previous owner decided to put in about a foot of river rock around the patio to ensure nothing would ever grow.

@nprofile1q... Nice! I have a "Deadpool" status in my Obsidian where ideas can go to die. It can feel bad to discard all that work but like you said, not all drafts need to be published and sometimes it's more about getting that mix of emotion and words out of my brain and stored somewhere else.
I've got 114 draft posts in the hopper and nearly every day I say "I should finish one!" but can't muster the dopamine. Some of that is I'm putting the bar too high for myself, but it's also something else. Even my daily deluge of tech videos is getting boring as shit. Social media... also dumb, offensive even.
Burnout, tech hype malaise... who knows. Space manga is good tho.

It's fun to have friends that make fonts because when my wife is using the Cricut for a little project and needs some font inspo, I look like a goddam hero.

Random Thoughts:
- I think the case could be made that billionaires and venture capital are inflationary and need to be regulated.
- I think the incentives are off for AI. If AI companies charge per-token, the AI company has every incentive to use as many input/output tokens as possible (or that their infra can support).
- If AI makes you 10x more productive, then that's 10wks worth of work per week. On a team of 10ppl, that's 100wks (2 man-yrs) of work per week. No org is setup to handle that.
