None of the "code generation" stuff is new by the way.

The tech industry has tried to speed up coding and increase software output for the last 3 to 4 decades, by various means; e.g. Rapid Application Development, Expert Systems, Object-Oriented Programming, thousands of different frameworks all the way to trying to off-shore development and exploit third-world labor.

The problem with this is: there is no software scarcity. Pretending that "we can't make software fast enough" is a red herring to hide the fact that making (good) software is 90% painstaking research, design, planning, marketing and talking to and supporting customers.

And 10% writing the actual code—the C-suite is doing ye olde "trying to find a technical solution to a social problem".

Important South Seattle PSA: someone at Rainier Beach High School has been diagnosed with Tuberculosis 😬 (hopefully this isn't like the time that casino lady had it and kept dodging treatment!)

The document-wide in-scrollbar thumbnail / minimap has been around for a while. Most people are familiar with it from RockScroll (2008) or Sublime Text (2012) or VSCode (2015).

github.com/coveragepy/coverage has a slick implementation (scroll_markers) contributed by Dmitry Shishov in 2016. Super useful when jumping between several places reviewing coverage misses, and super subtle!

indie web people, video essayists who either don't make money OR make it mostly not on YouTube, other interested parties:

do you post your videos somewhere that isn't YouTube or tiktok or Instagram? do you feel like you get the reach you want doing it or you've just taken the L there?

Thanks in advance

말인즉슨, 존재론적 위기 앞에서 존재론적 배제가 정치의 기능부전이라고 이야기하면 안 될 것 같음. 이 존재론적 위기를 불러온 이유가 정치의 기능부전에 있다고 하면 그나마 말이 되겠지만. 지금의 intolerance / impasse 를 두고 해결해야할 증상(정치의 소멸)이라고 호명하는 것은 위험한 어폐를 내포 : 타협과 용납을 현 행정부가 받아서 만들어낼 결과는 정치성의 회복이라기보다는, 소멸된 정치의 normalization일 것이기 때문.
