Nachdem es Banksy über zwei Jahrzehnte lang gelang, seine Identität geheim zu halten, rühmen sich nun drei Reuters-Journalisten, womöglich das geschafft zu haben, woran die Presse seit Jahren gescheitert ist: den Graffiti-Künstler gegen seinen Willen zu enttarnen.

Ein Banksy-Kunstwerk zeigt einen Steinbock, der von einem Podest kackt. Dazu der Text: Er heißt _____________, ist ___ Jahre alt und kommt aus _______. Geschlecht: _______. Endlich ist das Geheimnis gelüftet, wer hinter dem Pseudonym Banksy steckt. Und jetzt?

Mobile Updates

Spent my birthday improving Inkwell’s mobile experience and it finally feels a lot closer to where it needs to be. New navigation, swipe gestures, pull-to-refresh, and better reading on small screens are all live, with a few auth issues still being worked through.…

Bug in Vscode where markdown files are being saved as .litcoffee file instead of .md file, because of a PR adding .litcoffee to the top of extensions list in the package.json file.

The fix is in now, and people have to wait for v 1.112.0, but feels like it could be avoided if we could add an inline code comment saying
`// The order actually matters, .md must be at the top of the list` so in the end I think this is a documentation issue. 🤔

Trying to wring some useful insights out of the roiling AI discourse: today I want to talk a little bit about Senior Engineer Essentialism. As with many AI Coding things, this is not a *new* problem, but it is now a *worse* problem.

According to my hazy recollection, circa 2012 we started seeing a rash of forgettable blog posts about "what it really means to be a senior software engineer".

There is no such thing as a senior software engineer. 🧵

If you want help with using Mastodon or the wider Fediverse, please feel free to reply, or mention me, or send a message! 🙂

I'm trying to provide unofficial direct tech support for using this place.

There is no such thing as a silly question, especially keen to help new or non-technical people who want answers in plain language.

If you prefer not to ask, you can find lots of help on the website at fedi.tips

seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi"

folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird
