There should be a German word for the psychological hell of 2FA signings and recovery codes and third party logins that we have to go through.

Peak ONA was definitely a vibe. Early in my career - the folks I met via ONA were the closest thing I had to "colleagues."
w/0 ONA I wouldn't be where I am today.
I won't dedicate a @NiemanLab 2027 prediction to this - but I think/hope smaller niche orgs will fill the void

If you know, you know.
AI has become amazing. I vibe coded this little adventure in 20 minutes and it’s completely original.
You arrive on a foggy island with a dock, a library, and these enormous interlocking gears. There are books that drop you into entirely different worlds. Mechanical puzzles, sound frequencies, mixing light.
Will publish a link soon.

Breaking: Chuck Norris has died… but reports confirm he immediately found the Grim Reaper and beat him unconscious. Death is currently in critical condition.

I just claimed "Digidave" on the new Digg. I was 1% hoping my old stats would be there. At one time I was ranked 48th in the world on Digg. @kevinrose I still believe you were the user Pacino in the EARLIEST of days. Can't hurt now to let me know if I was right.

This is now my first thought when I talk to vendors......
had dinner with engineer lead at a startup last night
told us their saas vendor tried to double the price from $70k a year to $170k a year
CTO was like in slack on the call "i think we can have claude write this"
3 week sprint
cloned and replaced vendor
told sales org trying to gouge them they done
sales freaks out "how do we solve this"
this is going to happen so much in 2026

Now imagine watching Braveheart during one of the battle scenes. Imagine everyone in the theater has a VR headset on and can walk around. Other real life people are denoted on your heads up display (to avoid bumps), but otherwise you're free to roam.

Had to explain to my kids that I came from an era when the HumVee was the most obnoxious looking car on the road.
