Programming as Theory Building - Peter Naur · GitHub
https://gist.github.com/onlurking/fc5c81d18cfce9ff81bc968a7f342fb1

Interesting: programming is not about finishing a product, it is about making, understanding and working with the thing. So programming is not about the end result, it is about the experience. Reminds me of chronos vs kairos.

Beyond Bézier

Very interesting research into the effect of the common tools used in type design. Pretty much focused on type design, but should be translatable to web design as well.

E.W.Dijkstra Archive: On IPW's (EWD 867)
https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/EWD867.html

The question is just as relevant and just as meaningful as the question whether submarines can swim.

In retrospect, this accident of history has been a disaster, since almost all the opinions pushed by the commercial propaganda were false, and, in addition, the propaganda has been so effective that for many those opinions have become dogmata that can no longer be challenged without committing heresy.

Design Beyond Barriers
https://designbeyondbarriers.com/

I don’t agree with this quote, as someone who uses code as a design tool, but …

But readable type, intuitive navigation, and smart color choices start in design, not in code. Developers build the product, but we set the foundation. It’s time to own that responsibility.

… but I really like the website and I think it is a great idea for a book.

The Terror of Total Dasein | Hito Steyerl - DIS MagazineDIS Magazine
https://dismagazine.com/discussion/78352/the-terror-of-total-dasein-hito-steyerl/

The author writes about junktime, which I think is an even higher step from kairos -> chronos -> junktime. Who was it again who said that Kairos is village life, Chronos is city life, controlled by the clock, and then Junktime might be online life, controlled by ever presence.

Contra Ptacek's Terrible Article On AI — Ludicity
https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/contra-ptaceks-terrible-article-on-ai/?1

A few extra arguments against LLMs. Mostly a personal answer/rant to an earlier article, and mostly pointing out flaws in the argumentation. For instance, that something was bad 6 months ago doesn't mean it’s good now. The same argument was used 6 months ago by the same people. Comparing people to large organisations when it comes to copyright Anonymous examples The fact that something gets attention doesn’t mean it’s as good as stated: see apps, crypto, etc. The fact that CEOs want us to use it, same thing, and even worse, because CEOs etc

Taste at speed - by Carly Ayres and marc - Good Graf!

When anyone can produce something that looks good, the question becomes not “Can you make this?” but “Can you tell if it’s any good?” Or: “Can you make it better?”
