I wish to also be permanently banned from Kubernetes (I've never used it, but I definitely never want to). https://fedi.rrr.sh/@pearl/113126152621767934

I am available for new contract work.I have 20+ years 😩 experience in web design and development and I’m still learning. I have written courses and books that have influenced interface design across the industry. I love prototyping, writing documentation, creative coding, and I do everything with accessibility and inclusion in mind.👋

"This AI output is highly inaccurate.""Nah, you're just prompting it wrong.""How do I go about prompting it the right way?""You really need to know the subject you're asking about. Then you can help it avoid making mistakes.""If I know the subject deeply myself, why am I asking an AI about it?""It helps to train the AI."

Just read on BBC News that the new version of ChatGPT can flirt. Who is that for? Who asked for that? Who's interested in being chatted up by an ephemeral cloud of stolen reddit posts? Told by a soulless megazord of pilfered landing pages that it wants to "smash your back doors in 🥵"? And why is the BBC, of all institutions, letting me know this radically pathetic experience is becoming available?

I write to learn. Using an LLM would entirely negate that. https://mastodon.design/@adrian/114465562685994698

People are framing Figma’s “Sites” as just a misstep. Figma Sites is what we were all building with Figma already: terrible interfaces, guided by people who don’t understand web technologies, and obsessed with visual approximation over utility or accessibility. Figma took our devign-to-dev handover bullshit and automated it. Figma Sites is a mirror.

The reason it's considered (by many) acceptable to churn/sling/vibe code using AI is, in no small part, due to how we frame development in respect to design. We consider design thinking as both innately human and a non-technical code-free occupation. We think of developers as machines who only encode design. If developers get replaced by AI, it's only because we dehumanised them already. And the development itself *will* get worse. Because the best developers actually think about their work.

If you hate the idea of your job becoming about cleaning up horrendous "vibe coded" output, spare a thought for accessibility specialists. They've been doing that all along.

The easiest way to detect an AI video is to determine if it's *worth* watching. The next time you're watching a Youtube short of a monkey escaping a zoo on a space hopper, stop asking questions like, "did his middle and index fingers switch places at 00:21?"Instead ask: "what the fuck am I doing with my life?"
