A huge screen in a stadium, showing a VAR decision check. The word "Hard Drive" has been superimposed over what I imagine is "off side" or "goal"
A lovely move from Austria results in a chance for Marko Arnautovic. A cross-cum-shot from him takes a deflection off a Jordan defender and almost loops in. Eventually going for a corner.
Zelda Ocarina of Time gameplay. The Deku tree has opened their mouth door and the caption reads “then enter, brave Link, and thou too, Navi”
The live version of Tokyo Concierge and our work in progress version of a redesign, being toggled over and over.

Here’s what I’m asking people to do to take the “shine” off LLMs in the tech industry: - Constantly and consistently post when it goes wrong. This could be on your blog or social media. Post anyway. - When people (especially people who are paid to peddle this technology) post claims: challenge them to provide evidence and prove their claims. It might sound harsh, but it’s long overdue that “thought leaders” in our industry are held to account for the effects of their influence. - Create a culture of shame for AI boosting. - Never forgive and especially never forget those who have boosted and vocally supported this technology. Unless there are consequences, we’ll continue to have hype cycles like crypto, NFTs and now, LLMs. We have the power to break the cycle of cycles in our vast numbers. - Stop paying for AI services.
In any case, nowhere are the subsidies higher than those of Anthropic and OpenAI, who use their tens of billions of dollars of funding to allow users to burn anywhere from $3 to $13 per every dollar of subscription revenue to outpace their competition.
My desk with an Apple keyboard, HomePods, trackpad and remarkable e-ink note taking thing. Some WIP client work is on the screen.

A very happy man with a *very* oversized bottle of olive oil, literally drenching a salad. He is labelled developers, the oil is labelled JavaScript and the salad is labelled website
The google meet join meeting controls. There's a couple of icon fonts missing and instead, text like "pen_spark" is visible. On one of the buttons, that replacement text overflows and overlays actual text too, turning it into the biggest pile of shit UI
Following up Andy - curious how you’re currently structuring outbound for clients, or planning to? Most agencies we see either depend heavily on manual outreach or run generic automation that underperforms. We sit in the middle - structured, AI-driven outreach that’s consistent enough to productise, but still personalised enough to actually drive replies. Let me know if it’s worth a look. Best, PS If this isn't relevant, just reply "pineapple" and I'll close the loop

The notifications view on Bluesky cropped so you can only see the title and the tabs. Under is an error message that I've doctored to read "Warning: vibe PR(s) merged"
Steve Carell, acting in The Big Short, looking stressed
Holding it all the way down makes it jump all of the way off the screen, but just before they jump, it looks at you and the caption "really?" shows up
The domino effect meme. The smallest domino is described as "Sora gets shuttered" and the largest domino is described as "Entire AI bubble pops"

On the left, is some normal CSS with a white box under, labelled "DLSS 5 Off" On the right is some Tailwind slop, attached to a div with an onClick event which triggers an alert saying "Built with Claude". Under that, a white box which has a green line under it, captioned "DLSS 5 On"

A design system, titled "Set.studio: Pattern Library" with a sidebar of navigation, broken into design tokens, CSS, components and regions. The open pattern is the "BrandSlide", which shows a red slide, titled "Ready, set, go!". In the footer of the slide, it says "Design and development partnership proposal, February 2026", followed by next and previous slide links.
The good news: It doesn’t have to be this way. Read the full story on how a GitHub team is staying ahead of the curve by using AI to continuously burn down technical debt.
An AI generated image for Chery of 2 rulers, captioned "Platinum lasts longer. Over 200km longer." "We didn't test for the brochure, we tested for the real world." The problem is, the ruler's measurements are a hodge-podge of random numbers.
A screen cap of me using my new CLI utility to create a new album in my music collection. It allows me to grab the data from the open scrobbler listing, which I show bit by bit.
