Wrote some more about how we're using AI @_HouseofGiants
We had a massive amount of HoG history to throw at our company brain. And the very AI brained thing to do would have been to shove all of it into the system and call that memory.
I almost went that direction, because it feels productive. You have a folder full of old work, the agent can search it, and the dumb little voice in your head starts going, hell yeah, company brain.
That wasn't the case 👇

It's funny to see software you've used for a decade ship more updates in the past 6 months than they did in the previous nine and half years as they slow roll AI best practices into their teams.

SO much has happened in the past week
The Pi Updates are insane ⟡ Pull Requests are Dead ⟡ Turso Is Joining Supabase ⌁ Syntax Weekly ⌁ xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1nGnRBQYM…
Just sat down by this sick ass church that was built in 1550 and took 256 years to be completed so I can check on the clankers I tasked with all my work for the day.
Normal Sunday.
I’ve felt this too, almost to my detriment. It feels like if you’re not constantly sending an agent out to do something you’re not being productive.
Which feels dangerous in a field where we already had that whole like “if your job is also not your passion you’re not a real developer” conversation.
I used to listen to so many podcasts and books, filling in small amounts of time between different things that I'm doing.
Now that time is filled by sending quick prompts to agents to get work done. As much as it feels productive to do that, my podcast list keeps growing and I kind of miss listening to those things.
It's really hard to not prompt though.
I think we get lost in the existential aspect of all this AI shit a lot, which makes it hard to remember this.
It's so much easier than it's ever been to produce more, good code. Build things you never had time to build. Experiment, and learn. As long as you put the effort into those things.
We do live in fascinating times.
Why the fuck is everyone screeching about not having "day 1 access" to Astra....
Just keep using 5.6 like you have been for a couple more days you lunatics.
My latest bit of resistance against Al induced brain atrophy:
text-box-trim
Fonts carry invisible space above their capital letters and below the baseline. That's why text can look off center in a button even when the padding is identical on every side.
l've always fixed it with negative margins or slightly weird padding values. CSS can trim that extra space so the padding measures from the letters themselves.
Useful little property.
As always, more here 👇
