Working in iterations

I’m redesigning this site bit by bit, which you can read about. This is just a temporary UI. Sorry for any jank!

  • I spoke with a few developers about their experience of AI tools being effectively mandated and learned some horrors in the process.

    I do give some advice on how to navigate this for people experiencing the same as these contributors though.

    We can see a lot of the conversations because the company shares a single ChatGPT account

  • if you're starting a sentence with "ethics aside" then:

    1. don't type the rest
    2. turn off your device
    3. never Log On again

  • I’ve got this little apple shortcut that dumps a note in obsidian to stop me posting from the hip as much

    I might have to turn it into a @strange.website / @robbowen.digital style site

    An obsidian note, titled 2025-08-25 19-22-23 The note reads: “~~crypto~~ ~~NFTs~~ AI will fix this”

  • This healed me and infuriated me in equal measure. Regardless of what you think of AI (derogatory for me), GPT 5 really is a piss-poor release https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/better-offline/id1730587238?i=1000723042058.

  • Like a parent encouraging their child to eat more veg, I like to "hide" other stuff in my writing.

    For example, Complete CSS is a soft skills course, but I hide a lot of that in a really nice build-along project.

    I'm drafting an article that does very similar about a hover effect technique.

  • We asked if you wanted to see short courses on @piccalil.li and you said yes.

    I'd better get cracking then

    An Obsidian note, titled "navigation patterns short course" It just has headings: - What is it I'm trying to teach? - What problems are we solving for people? - What's the over-arching context(s)? - Patterns I want to cover in the course - Patterns people want to see in the course - Module and lesson structure - Studio production requirements - Launch day target and high level estimation At the end it says January 2026

  • Having time to actually sit and make demos for an article again is good. I'm focusing on nice touches recently, but this one I'm working on is all about avoiding jolty/glitchy hover states
