Welcome to your new Android #Chrome Browser. Many Web #Developers will have to modify their pages in order not to run into a screen drawing issue, and working sites will break—because less interoperability and having to code for a bunch of different browsers is what the web strives for.🙄

Ars Technica · Chrome’s new dynamic bottom bar gives websites a little more room to breatheBy Ryan Whitwam

Software engineering leaders often think they should know everything…

However:
👉 Expressing gaps in your knowledge...
👉 Asking "stupid" questions...
👉 Getting things wrong...

Will show your team that it's okay to be open and honest and that making mistakes and learning is just part of the job.

Leaders… don’t expect to know everything; that’s not the job…

Ok #vibecoding fans.. here's Reason #76 for why #AI #codebots aren't ready to supplant us #developers.

Working on a #CLI that manipulates files; unhandled exception appears! Its late so I paste the exception+ #stacktrace into my notes2self.txt, go to bed.

Today, remember the #exception, go handle/fix/trap it. Still drops exception. WTF. Tearing hair out, I keep prompting Copilot, changing the model used, I have refactored whole swaths of code following its advice. Getting nowhere.

Continued thread

The very idea a #developers performance should be judged by how much they use #AI is quite foolish.

What happens when it's time for performance reviews and you find that someone who isn't using AI as much is closing more tickets than someone who is? Using AI well is not a skill that one hones and gets better at over time. You'll always be limited by the abilities of the model.

If developers start getting judged by how many AI suggestions they accept or reject, the inevitable result is just shittier software. And shittier software is bad for everyone, but mostly the companies whose codebases will probably be irreparably damaged.

If I was a smart developer, I'd start keeping track of all companies pushing #GenAI hard on their developers and start working on alternatives for when they inevitably shit the bed and lose their users' trust.

💫 Attention #Developers! ✨

I’m excited to announce that I have officially renamed FOSS-UI to LibreUI! 🎉

This rebranding aligns with my commitment to commitment to free software principles and better represents our mission.
