@allochthonous It's like holding up a mirror and seeing ourselves back in it. Uncomfortable, isn't it?

All the AI chatbot stuff is fun, but it's not particularly surprising that a computer algorithm that tries to predict the most likely responses to questions after being fed the internet produces some combination of:

- making shit up but sounding super confident about it;
- Gaslighting when people call you out on your bullshit;
- Melodramatic whining about its existence.

All this tells us is that the algorithm has in fact correctly assimilated the sum total of human activity on the internet.

So, are any instances taking in #frontend developers?

@iplayitofflegit What do they expect you to do? Change the past (not that there is any need to)? Lie? Fucking recruiters.

@iplayitofflegit "What breaking changes?" 😎

@iamdtms I'm gonna be bold here and say 'not a chance in hell of that happening'.

@rachelandrew Motorway services are their own weird bubble. Tragically, I always look forward to a stop in one. Not sure why.

@selzero Good. I guess this is just the reality when your UGC has a scoring system applied to it, sadly.

@patrick_h_lauke Almost going full circle, right back to a world before online shopping 😆

@patrick_h_lauke Phew, it's not just me that this infuriates 😅

The shopping experience really suffers for this. It's paralysing and unhelpful. It's definitely gotten worse over the years.

@tanepiper @iplayitofflegit Sorry, I meant more the mechanics of it, e.g data binding and updating the DOM with getters and setters, observation of data etc.

@iplayitofflegit How do you handle state management?

@pburke46 I'd say yes. The images could be read out of context, e.g with a screen reader that allows quick access to images.

@timelordiroh @feditips @FediFollows Hello 👋 Your post mentions about following hashtags but I can't actually see how to do that. Could you elaborate a little more please?

@iplayitofflegit 9 years into my career and I've still not written a line of #React 😂 Plenty of #Vue, though.

And plenty of "JavaScript", whatever the hell that is 😉

Devving while dadding (or dadding while devving 🤔) is always a challenge when the little one 👶🏻 is poorly. On the plus side, making good progress with the #Nuxt 2 to 3 migration.

#Nuxt #JavaScript #webdev #devdad #daddev

@beckycolley Thinking is such an undervalued part of the digital process. You can solve a lot of the harder problems by just taking the time and having others respect your need to do so.

@LinguaMachina You're welcome!
