I have sent a couple of letters to myself in the future and it's always been useful to see things more clearly. You know, all that about overestimating the short term and underestimating the long term.

I've been using futureme.org, in case you're curious to try it yourself!

What's going on with #Reddit at the moment is awesome. I hope it ends well and I hope to see a lot more of this in the future. Ideally, communities will eventually migrate to making better technology choices though. But hey, it's a start.

Yes please! More lifetime, and less subscriptions. And not just for content sites, I've been using apps for years that I haven't paid a cent because of the subscription model. But I would buy them in an instant. Don't underestimate "finished products".

If you enjoyed The Social Dilemma documentary, I recommend watching this: The A.I. Dilemma

Also, be careful if you're using faker-js because it is not tree-shakeable either! I found out about this because using it in one of my tests increased my production bundle to 3MB O.o https://github.com/faker-js/faker/issues/1791

#TIL none of my libraries were actually tree-shakeable because I wasn't declaring "sideEffect": true in the package.json 😅️

I'm going to #MWC23 and #4YFN23 next week in Barcelona, is someone I know going as well?

(Or even if I don't know you but you want to chat! :D)

Well, now it broke completely :/

This is the biggest problem I see with these tools. It's ok if they don't know everything, but when they start making things up with complete confidence, that's a problem. I don't even think this "Okgrow" company exists.

Aha! But apparently, it hasn't read my personal website xD

Which is interesting, because I'm pretty sure more people have read my website than the Soukai documentation. So it is interesting to see that it prioritizes GitHub content, whatever it is, over any run-of-the-mill personal website.

For context, this is a library that only has 10 stars in GitHub and I'm probably the only person using it. Certainly, I'm the only person who's written any documentation or published code using it (that I know of).

So this tells me that this thing has read everything online O.o

I just tried asking #ChatGPT some things about my library Soukai, and I'm very surprised that it knew about it. Sure, it answered mostly what is already written in the documentation, and the code snippets weren't 100% right. But I'm surprised that it knew it at all.
