<p><a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/08/improving-our-nation-through-better-design/">Trump says</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>With this order, I am announcing “America by Design,” a national initiative to improve experiences for Americans, starting by breathing new life into the design of sites where people interface with their Government. It is time to update the Government’s design language to be both usable and beautiful. This effort will be facilitated by a new National Design Studio and by a new Chief Design Officer. The Chief Design Officer will help recruit top creative talent, coordinate with executive departments and agencies (agencies), and devise innovative solutions.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That sounds good actually, but, hey yo, <em>do you remember that you fucking already had a dream-team of people doing this exact work and <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/general-services-administration-shutters-technology-unit-trump-doge/">you fucking fired them</a>?</em></p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>GSA deputy administrator Thomas Shedd announced the elimination of 18F in an internal email that was sent early Saturday morning. In it, Shedd wrote that the team had been identified as “non-critical,” and that the cuts had been made “in alignment with the President’s Workforce Optimization EO and the recent memo from GSA per the Trump Administration requiring cutting ‘non-essential consulting’ functions.” </p>
</blockquote>
<p>Not to mention the embarrassing gutting of the United States Digital Service (USDS, which had <a href="https://medium.com/the-u-s-digital-service/our-values-1fc02b53598">real values</a>) and transformation into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE had zero values. It was the mechanism to dismantle things Trump didn’t like under the veil of saving money, which of course, did the opposite. </p>
<p><a href="https://americabydesign.gov/">They made a landing page for the order</a>. Again, on the surface, it looks good. I want our government to make excellent websites that serve the people that live here. All the people, actually.<a href="https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/a-notional-design-studio/"> Ethan has some choice words</a> on that.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>… imagine you’re one of the millions of Americans on a prepaid “pay as you go” plan, or on a home network with capped, limited data. In both cases, data overages are tremendously expensive. Now imagine you’re trying to access some critical information online — how to renew your passport, say, or to manage your Social Security — and you’re met with a web page that is literally too expensive for you to view. An overbuilt, too-heavy website isn’t exactly a rarity on today’s internet. (Sadly.) But this design is coming from the federal government, which is quite literally meant to serve every citizen — every single one of them.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The page is tacky, full of mistakes, overweight, and saturated in accessibility failures, despite having every advantage to just do it right (a one-off HTML page is usually a pretty solid starting point).</p>
<p>So yeah: <a href="https://americabydesign.fail/">LOL at this parody.</a> </p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Did you know that the people you fired have been making tremendous, quantifiable improvements to government services? When you asked when was the last time someone’s experience with the government exceeded expectations, did you even know that <a href="https://fas.org/publication/end-of-irs-direct-file/">the public gave Direct File a higher Net Promoter Score than Apple</a>?</p>
<p>Why did you even mention filing taxes? Do you remember that you were killing Direct File? Do you remember campaigning on that?</p>
</blockquote>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li></li>
</ul>
<p>Christopher Butler doesn’t like the new guy in charge, either, and I think <a href="https://www.chrbutler.com/the-national-design-studio-is-a-scam">makes some good points</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>President Trump’s appointment of AirBnB co-founder Joe Gebbia as “Chief Design Officer” of the United States is a sickening travesty. It not only proves a fundamental misunderstanding of both design and governance, but an unbound commitment to corruption.</p>
<p>Gebbia’s directive to make government services “as satisfying to use as the Apple Store” within three years might serve as an appealing soundbite, but it quickly collapses under the slightest scrutiny: why? how? with what design army? The creation of the so-called National Design Studio and Gebbia’s appointment as its chief should raise serious questions about credentials, institutional destruction, and continued corruption.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I can’t get past firing all these great people from an obviously effective organization just to start it over, do nothing, and try to sound amazing doing it. It’s the most extreme hypocrisy I can imagine. Fuck him, fuck that.</p>

<p>The 2025 PNW gathering of old-time musicians in Centralia Washington. Appalachian fiddle music and other genres of old-time and folk music being passed down by ear as originally done. The Centralia Campout occurs every year on the sheep pasture at Ray Leach’s property on the Skookumchuck river. Amateur and professional musicians gather to share and learn fiddle tunes for 10 days each year in August.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>You’ve likely heard me go on about how much I like an encourage using an RSS reader. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.citationneeded.news/curate-with-rss/">Molly White frames it nicely</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>What if you could take all your favorite newsletters, ditch the data collection, and curate your own newspaper? It could include independent journalists, bloggers, mainstream media, worker-owned media collectives, and just about anyone else who publishes online. Even podcast episodes, videos from your favorite YouTube channels, and online forum posts could slot in, too. Only the stuff you want to see, all in one place, ready to read at your convenience. No email notifications interrupting your peace (unless you want them), no pressure to read articles immediately. Wouldn’t that be nice?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Here are a few more reasons:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>It’s fun to experiment with different RSS readers. Exploring different UI/UX like a new playground. I like switching up the fonts, colors, etc in use in different readers litreally just for kicks.</li>
<li>You can heart/star/favorite things, which is a very quick way to get back to things you could tell in the moment you wanted to remember.</li>
<li>Bigger workflows can be built around RSS as it’s open technology.</li>
<li>You can visit the website directly still anyway. I often perfer to. It’s a click away.</li>
<li>Like Molly says, it’s not just certain nerds with RSS feeds, it can be newsletters, saved posts from anywhere, podcasts, etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>I could keep going listing reasons and resources and yadda yadda, but right now, I’m thinking about the pushback. Why would someone <em>not</em> do this? Tell me! I’m curious. </p>
<p>I know one pushback I’ve recently heard is that it’s easy to screw up. For instance, you’re like: <em>I like The Verge.</em> So you subscribe to The Verge RSS feed, and then only like a handful of other things. The Verge publishes<em> a lot</em> so now everytime you visit your reader, it’s all Verge stuff, and you just get sick of it in 2 days. That feels very fair. You gotta unsubscribe from that if that’s how you feel. It’s <strong>constantly work to curate your feeds</strong><em> </em>so it’s a nice pace for you an a nice collection of stuff you actually do want to read. That’s work and not everyone wants work. They don’t want another inbox to manage, which is fair.</p>
<p>If you don’t do the RSS thing, what are your reasons?</p>

<p>Boy do I.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><a href="https://syntax.fm/show/922/pre-commit-hooks-requestanimationframe-code-reviews-and-more#t=25:16">Wes on Syntax</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>I write content. That content is consumed by people. But a lot of it has been used to train AIs for people to get a very quick answer. You can see the amount of bots visiting websites has been going up significantly. You ask a question about JavaScript and they go suck in 40 pages and it distills it down. From a user perspective I love it. I don’t want to read your life story, I want to get straight to the answer. How often do you just read the Google Summary and just close the tab?</p>
<p>For those people that [create content] for money, that business is going to be significantly disrupted. What happens to the people that rely on that money? There’s no shortage of people putting content on the internet right now. Will that stop? I don’t know.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It’ll stop when there is no longer any incentive to do so. Those incentives are various! Money is one. That was a <em>partial</em> motivator for me. Being able to support myself and my family partially through advertising on content was important. But I also found it to be fun and mentally rewarding, like it gave my life purpose. Even if the money wanes, those incentives may endure for many. </p>
<p>Promoting other things can be another incentive. If you can still manage to get eyes on you, the value doesn’t have to come from traditional advertising. It could be because you’re working for a company, and there is value in the DevRel. You could be taking pre-orders for your next book. You could offer a training course for sale. Your superfans can pay for superchats and supermemberships on your Twitch or whatever.</p>
<p>As long as there are incentives left to create technical content, people will. And AIs will continue to train on it. That does frame it as an adversarial relationship, which is a bummer (something something capitalism). </p>
<p>Wes <a href="https://syntax.fm/show/922/pre-commit-hooks-requestanimationframe-code-reviews-and-more#t=27:20">specifically wondered about me!</a></p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>He spent a good chunk of his life. His legacy was putting out very helpful information. CSS-Tricks is a huge swath of information. He was able to that because he was able to make money. The next CSS-Tricks isn’t going to be able to make that much money. The AIs are just going to gobble it up and contribute to our brain rot. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>I certainly wrote a lot of content for that site. And so did a <em>ton</em> of <a href="https://css-tricks.com/authors/">other authors</a>, who still do to this day. And AIs have slurped and increasing reslurp it up. My main concerns with the AI-slurp-age are:</p>
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>It’s <a href="https://chriscoyier.net/2023/04/21/the-secret-list-of-websites/">rude</a>. Nobody asked me (or the other authors) if that’s OK. Now that’s the bar and they never will.</li>
<li>The business model is akin to <a href="https://chriscoyier.net/2024/10/21/a-penny/">stealing pennies</a>.</li>
<li>AI interfaces are incentivized to <em>not</em> credit sources or link out. They want you to think that they are the brain, and you need not go anywhere else. </li>
</ol>
<p>I’m <em>slightly</em> less concerned that AI slurpage will disincentivize all content creation. Humans love other humans, and we’ll always want to connect with each other. We want to learn together and laugh together and play together, and, as weird as it is, sharing technical content with each other is a niche in there. </p>
<p>Wes wondered if I “got out” at the right time. I sorta think I did. It was not premeditated, though. At the time, I was much more focused on advertising. For years leading up to the sale, I invested more and more money into the site with the goal of growth, only to see traffic stay flat. It wasn’t perfectly correlated, but flat traffic doesn’t help advertising revenue. Ramping up the amount of work for the same traffic and same money wasn’t feeling great. At the time, I assumed it was just a temporary slump, but now with enough distance, it kinda wasn’t. Fortunately, Digital Ocean didn’t really need the advertising, which is why I thought it was a perfect buyer. They had other incentives. I have no idea what they think of the purchase now, but I would hope it’s quite positive. There was a weird slump, but with <a href="https://geoffgraham.me/">Geoff</a> still over there, I think they are doing awesome.</p>
<p>I feel compelled to mention that my content creation career is far from over and takes many forms:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>This</em> site has loads of blog posts.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://blog.codepen.io/">CodePen blog</a> has loads of blog posts, and the <a href="https://blog.codepen.io/radio/">PODCAST IS BACK</a>! Not to mention: THE ENTIRE CODEPEN is a massive trove of content, by far the biggest I’ve been a part of building. I’ve written a ton of public code there, which is like 0.000001% of what is there.</li>
<li>CSS-Tricks had lots of writing, but also video content. </li>
<li>I’ve guest-posted all over the place.</li>
<li>I’ve got GitHub repos. </li>
<li>I <a href="https://frontendmasters.com/blog/author/chriscoyier/">write at Frontend Masters</a>, which is my CSS-Tricks energy replacement, and whose business model around content is perfect.</li>
<li><a href="https://shoptalkshow.com/">ShopTalk Show</a> has over 10 years of weekly podcasts.</li>
<li>I’ve always been at least moderately active on the most appropriate social media platforms throughout my entire career.</li>
</ul>
<p>So. Much. Content. </p>
<p>I still think it’s fun and has value and plan to continue doing it, even if the incentives around doing it are constantly being battered down. I’ll need to continue to evolve how I get value out of it. I do enjoy it so much I’ll probably be explaining <code>border-radius</code> tricks into the dirt with a stick after the apocalypse. </p>
<p>Wes also said of AI:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>As a user, I love it.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I feel that, too. </p>
<p>AI companies do slimy shit, and <em>they know it</em>. But I don’t wanna just take my ball and go home. </p>
<p>There is some real user benefit coming out of AI products right now. It’s fun to be a part of. I’m experiencing genuine productivity boosts from using AI for coding work. The evolution of user interfaces around it is fascinating.</p>
<p>Perhaps ironically, there is an awful lot of user content <em>about</em> AI — lolz.</p>

<p>I saw that <a href="https://screencasting.com/">screencasting.com</a> launched recently. It’s training courses all about building high-quality screencasts. Seemed like a great idea to me with the perfect domain name. There is <em>so much</em> video lately in today’s media and plenty of it involves editing together camera footage, stock clips, screen recordings, etc. The learning curve on doing all this well is decently high, so seems like a good target market.</p>
<p>I bought the course on <a href="https://screencasting.com/products/screenflow-for-screencasters">Screencasting with Screenflow</a> as I use <a href="https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm">Screenflow</a> a decent amount and have for many years but never got any proper training on it. It makes me nervous <a href="https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/versions.htm?accordion=new">it hasn’t been touched in years</a>. I’d like to see an update just to know someone’s hands are on the wheel.</p>
<p>Then I saw that the makers <a href="https://share.transistor.fm/s/9f0963fa">considered the launch of screencasting.com an utter failure</a>. In that podcast episode, Ian Landsman and Aaron Francis talk about it and speculate on what to do about it. I think it’s a little surprising to call something like this a failure so soon. Perhaps with courses if you don’t get a huge initial bump, it’s known that the chances of it ever doing well are slim? I know indie games kinda work that way.</p>
<p>Me, I’d just long-haul the thing. Pluck away at marketing it, finding new customers. Let it just earn what it earns while making it better and building the next thing.</p>

<p>John Allsopp has a new platform <a href="https://conffab.com/">Conffab</a> that is for livestreaming conferences as well as providing on-demand access to past recorded conference presentations. Some of which are behind a paywall. </p>
<p>He’s got good reason to productize this. It boils down to incentives. If it all works, it’s a better place for all: presenters, organizers, and the audience. <a href="https://conffab.com/about-conffab/">He lays it all out here.</a> Just chucking videos on YouTube doesn’t build the right incentives and doesn’t make anybody but Google money.</p>
<p>It’s early days I think. CSS Day talks are on there, and John has provided me a “gift link” for my talk on there, and assured me that sharing it publicly like this is totally cool. So here we go:</p>
<div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex">
<div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://conffab.com/presentation/scope-in-css/?gl=uFWAXqB645Sv">My CSS Day talk on Scope on Conffab</a></div>
</div>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>
<p>I should also mention that Frontend Masters has <a href="https://frontendmasters.com/tutorials/?code=coyier&utm_source=coyier">a whole new area of the site</a> where they publish isolated videos (not part of a whole course). </p>
<p>I took my learnings on CSS <code>@scope</code> and recorded three fresh videos on interesting things <code>@scope</code> could do. I haven’t and don’t plan to publish them anywhere else, so if you’re a member there, you might enjoy these focused nuggets on all that!</p>

<p>Benchmarked against real-world case records published each week in the New England Journal of Medicine, we show that the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) correctly diagnoses up to 85% of NEJM case proceedings, a rate <strong>more than four times higher than a group of experienced physicians.</strong> MAI-DxO also gets to the correct diagnosis more cost-effectively than physicians.</p>
<cite><a href="https://microsoft.ai/new/the-path-to-medical-superintelligence/">The Path to Medical Superintelligence</a>, <strong>Dominic King & Harsha Nori</strong><br><br></cite></blockquote>
<p>I got hit by a van one time while I was riding my bike. I ended up going to urgent care and getting an x-ray of my foot, which was obviously hurt. The doctor currently at the urgent care took at look at the x-ray and was like: <em>hard to say but looks fine to me</em>. The clinic called back the next day, as another doctor took a look at the x-ray, and was like: <em>actually your foot is broken.</em></p>
<p>That was nice of them to call back. I definitely want doctors that know what they are doing in the world, let’s keep training doctors. </p>
<p>But also x-rays seem like perfect fodder for AI. Shouldn’t we have like 20 million x-rays of feet along with diagnosis sitting around somewhere? I want my foot x-ray in there. Feels like there should be medical imaging “models” that are <em>pretty damn accurate.</em> Shouldn’t there be 20 million cat scans? 20 million ultrasound videos?</p>
<p>We don’t have to, nor should we, put 100% of our trust in the machines, but it seems like it would be an awfully useful tool in medicine. </p>
<p>And likewise, anything with lots of similar video that you can attach to measured outcomes. 20 million videos of swim meets. 20 million security videos of blackjack tables. 20 million birdfeeders. Tell us about the patterns. Tell us about the anomolies. Tell us things that computers can see that we can’t. </p>

<p>Offerwall lets sites provide potentially <em>a few</em> ways to monetize content, and for users to choose the one that they prefer. For example, a publisher can set up to allow reading their site in exchange for watching an ad (similar to YouTube’s model). That’s pretty interesting, but far more interesting to me, is that it integrates with a third-party service called <a href="https://www.supertab.co/faq">Supertab</a>. Supertab lets people provide their own subscriptions – including a tiny fee for this page, or access to the site for some timed pass – 4 hours, 24 hours, a week, etc. It does this with pretty friction-less wallet integration and by ‘pooling’ the funds until it makes sense to do a real, regular transaction.</p>
<cite>Brian Kardell, <a href="https://bkardell.com/blog/WebBucks.html">Web Bucks</a></cite></blockquote>
<p>For ages, in publishing: <em>Are we gonna do ads or are we going to do memberships?</em> You can kinda mix and match and sell t-shirts and stuff, but all that decision making is on the publisher side. </p>
<p>Interesting to flip the tables and let the readers decide. </p>

<p>And if we really got the <a href="https://webmonetization.org/">Web Monetization API</a>, and clicking those payment buttons was quick and chill because the browser <> wallet connection was a normal, known, easy thing, that would be great.</p>

<p>Somebody emailed me out of the blue offering to sell me <code>coyier.com</code>. </p>
<p>Usually I’m not interested in domains. I have this one, it’s fine. <a href="https://chriscoyier.net/2023/09/21/use-subdomains/">Subdomains are cool</a>. You can put dashes in domains and get them cheap (see: <code>css-tricks.com</code>). There are a billion TLDs now and you don’t really need the dot-com. </p>
<p>But I thought about it, and my brain told me I’d spend a grand on it and absolutely no more. So I wrote them back and said exactly that. Then they emailed back a lower offer, and I said “no”. Then they wrote back with another lower offer, and I said “no”. Then they emailed back and said fine a grand, and I said “ok”. </p>
<p>Part of the reason I did it is that they sent a URL on <code>godaddy.com</code> where the transaction actually happens. I use GoDaddy anyway — I like them for <a href="https://css-tricks.com/this-sites-domain-is-now-safe/">reasons</a>.</p>
<p>All it does is redirect to this site for now. But it opens the idea of using it for family members who might want a site off it. <code>ruby.coyier.com</code> is kinda neat. </p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>With this order, I am announcing “America by Design,” a national initiative to improve experiences for Americans, starting by breathing new life into the design of sites where people interface with their Government. It is time to update the Government’s design language to be both usable and beautiful. This effort will be facilitated by a new National Design Studio and by a new Chief Design Officer. The Chief Design Officer will help recruit top creative talent, coordinate with executive departments and agencies (agencies), and devise innovative solutions.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That sounds good actually, but, hey yo, <em>do you remember that you fucking already had a dream-team of people doing this exact work and <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/general-services-administration-shutters-technology-unit-trump-doge/">you fucking fired them</a>?</em></p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>GSA deputy administrator Thomas Shedd announced the elimination of 18F in an internal email that was sent early Saturday morning. In it, Shedd wrote that the team had been identified as “non-critical,” and that the cuts had been made “in alignment with the President’s Workforce Optimization EO and the recent memo from GSA per the Trump Administration requiring cutting ‘non-essential consulting’ functions.” </p>
</blockquote>
<p>Not to mention the embarrassing gutting of the United States Digital Service (USDS, which had <a href="https://medium.com/the-u-s-digital-service/our-values-1fc02b53598">real values</a>) and transformation into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE had zero values. It was the mechanism to dismantle things Trump didn’t like under the veil of saving money, which of course, did the opposite. </p>
<p><a href="https://americabydesign.gov/">They made a landing page for the order</a>. Again, on the surface, it looks good. I want our government to make excellent websites that serve the people that live here. All the people, actually.<a href="https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/a-notional-design-studio/"> Ethan has some choice words</a> on that.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>… imagine you’re one of the millions of Americans on a prepaid “pay as you go” plan, or on a home network with capped, limited data. In both cases, data overages are tremendously expensive. Now imagine you’re trying to access some critical information online — how to renew your passport, say, or to manage your Social Security — and you’re met with a web page that is literally too expensive for you to view. An overbuilt, too-heavy website isn’t exactly a rarity on today’s internet. (Sadly.) But this design is coming from the federal government, which is quite literally meant to serve every citizen — every single one of them.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The page is tacky, full of mistakes, overweight, and saturated in accessibility failures, despite having every advantage to just do it right (a one-off HTML page is usually a pretty solid starting point).</p>
<p>So yeah: <a href="https://americabydesign.fail/">LOL at this parody.</a> </p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Did you know that the people you fired have been making tremendous, quantifiable improvements to government services? When you asked when was the last time someone’s experience with the government exceeded expectations, did you even know that <a href="https://fas.org/publication/end-of-irs-direct-file/">the public gave Direct File a higher Net Promoter Score than Apple</a>?</p>
<p>Why did you even mention filing taxes? Do you remember that you were killing Direct File? Do you remember campaigning on that?</p>
</blockquote>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li></li>
</ul>
<p>Christopher Butler doesn’t like the new guy in charge, either, and I think <a href="https://www.chrbutler.com/the-national-design-studio-is-a-scam">makes some good points</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>President Trump’s appointment of AirBnB co-founder Joe Gebbia as “Chief Design Officer” of the United States is a sickening travesty. It not only proves a fundamental misunderstanding of both design and governance, but an unbound commitment to corruption.</p>
<p>Gebbia’s directive to make government services “as satisfying to use as the Apple Store” within three years might serve as an appealing soundbite, but it quickly collapses under the slightest scrutiny: why? how? with what design army? The creation of the so-called National Design Studio and Gebbia’s appointment as its chief should raise serious questions about credentials, institutional destruction, and continued corruption.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I can’t get past firing all these great people from an obviously effective organization just to start it over, do nothing, and try to sound amazing doing it. It’s the most extreme hypocrisy I can imagine. Fuck him, fuck that.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>You’ve likely heard me go on about how much I like an encourage using an RSS reader. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.citationneeded.news/curate-with-rss/">Molly White frames it nicely</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>What if you could take all your favorite newsletters, ditch the data collection, and curate your own newspaper? It could include independent journalists, bloggers, mainstream media, worker-owned media collectives, and just about anyone else who publishes online. Even podcast episodes, videos from your favorite YouTube channels, and online forum posts could slot in, too. Only the stuff you want to see, all in one place, ready to read at your convenience. No email notifications interrupting your peace (unless you want them), no pressure to read articles immediately. Wouldn’t that be nice?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Here are a few more reasons:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>It’s fun to experiment with different RSS readers. Exploring different UI/UX like a new playground. I like switching up the fonts, colors, etc in use in different readers litreally just for kicks.</li>
<li>You can heart/star/favorite things, which is a very quick way to get back to things you could tell in the moment you wanted to remember.</li>
<li>Bigger workflows can be built around RSS as it’s open technology.</li>
<li>You can visit the website directly still anyway. I often perfer to. It’s a click away.</li>
<li>Like Molly says, it’s not just certain nerds with RSS feeds, it can be newsletters, saved posts from anywhere, podcasts, etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>I could keep going listing reasons and resources and yadda yadda, but right now, I’m thinking about the pushback. Why would someone <em>not</em> do this? Tell me! I’m curious. </p>
<p>I know one pushback I’ve recently heard is that it’s easy to screw up. For instance, you’re like: <em>I like The Verge.</em> So you subscribe to The Verge RSS feed, and then only like a handful of other things. The Verge publishes<em> a lot</em> so now everytime you visit your reader, it’s all Verge stuff, and you just get sick of it in 2 days. That feels very fair. You gotta unsubscribe from that if that’s how you feel. It’s <strong>constantly work to curate your feeds</strong><em> </em>so it’s a nice pace for you an a nice collection of stuff you actually do want to read. That’s work and not everyone wants work. They don’t want another inbox to manage, which is fair.</p>
<p>If you don’t do the RSS thing, what are your reasons?</p>

<p>Boy do I. I own a $5,000 guitar (what I originally paid for straight-grain Brazilian Rosewood Martin replica by Dennis Overton) and <a href="https://chriscoyier.net/2020/01/03/the-case-of-the-missing-guitar-and-the-idiot-who-didnt-even-realize-it-was-missing/">I didn’t even notice it was gone for <em>years</em></a><em>.</em> Now that’s mostly me being an idiot and not playing guitar as my primary instrument, but still, it’s very telling a cheap ass Yamaha was to me an un-noticable difference. I wrote then:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>I still feel like an idiot for not realizing for so long. Honestly, that little $150 Yamaha sounds pretty damn good if you ask me.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><a href="https://syntax.fm/show/922/pre-commit-hooks-requestanimationframe-code-reviews-and-more#t=25:16">Wes on Syntax</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>I write content. That content is consumed by people. But a lot of it has been used to train AIs for people to get a very quick answer. You can see the amount of bots visiting websites has been going up significantly. You ask a question about JavaScript and they go suck in 40 pages and it distills it down. From a user perspective I love it. I don’t want to read your life story, I want to get straight to the answer. How often do you just read the Google Summary and just close the tab?</p>
<p>For those people that [create content] for money, that business is going to be significantly disrupted. What happens to the people that rely on that money? There’s no shortage of people putting content on the internet right now. Will that stop? I don’t know.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It’ll stop when there is no longer any incentive to do so. Those incentives are various! Money is one. That was a <em>partial</em> motivator for me. Being able to support myself and my family partially through advertising on content was important. But I also found it to be fun and mentally rewarding, like it gave my life purpose. Even if the money wanes, those incentives may endure for many. </p>
<p>Promoting other things can be another incentive. If you can still manage to get eyes on you, the value doesn’t have to come from traditional advertising. It could be because you’re working for a company, and there is value in the DevRel. You could be taking pre-orders for your next book. You could offer a training course for sale. Your superfans can pay for superchats and supermemberships on your Twitch or whatever.</p>
<p>As long as there are incentives left to create technical content, people will. And AIs will continue to train on it. That does frame it as an adversarial relationship, which is a bummer (something something capitalism). </p>
<p>Wes <a href="https://syntax.fm/show/922/pre-commit-hooks-requestanimationframe-code-reviews-and-more#t=27:20">specifically wondered about me!</a></p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>He spent a good chunk of his life. His legacy was putting out very helpful information. CSS-Tricks is a huge swath of information. He was able to that because he was able to make money. The next CSS-Tricks isn’t going to be able to make that much money. The AIs are just going to gobble it up and contribute to our brain rot. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>I certainly wrote a lot of content for that site. And so did a <em>ton</em> of <a href="https://css-tricks.com/authors/">other authors</a>, who still do to this day. And AIs have slurped and increasing reslurp it up. My main concerns with the AI-slurp-age are:</p>
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>It’s <a href="https://chriscoyier.net/2023/04/21/the-secret-list-of-websites/">rude</a>. Nobody asked me (or the other authors) if that’s OK. Now that’s the bar and they never will.</li>
<li>The business model is akin to <a href="https://chriscoyier.net/2024/10/21/a-penny/">stealing pennies</a>.</li>
<li>AI interfaces are incentivized to <em>not</em> credit sources or link out. They want you to think that they are the brain, and you need not go anywhere else. </li>
</ol>
<p>I’m <em>slightly</em> less concerned that AI slurpage will disincentivize all content creation. Humans love other humans, and we’ll always want to connect with each other. We want to learn together and laugh together and play together, and, as weird as it is, sharing technical content with each other is a niche in there. </p>
<p>Wes wondered if I “got out” at the right time. I sorta think I did. It was not premeditated, though. At the time, I was much more focused on advertising. For years leading up to the sale, I invested more and more money into the site with the goal of growth, only to see traffic stay flat. It wasn’t perfectly correlated, but flat traffic doesn’t help advertising revenue. Ramping up the amount of work for the same traffic and same money wasn’t feeling great. At the time, I assumed it was just a temporary slump, but now with enough distance, it kinda wasn’t. Fortunately, Digital Ocean didn’t really need the advertising, which is why I thought it was a perfect buyer. They had other incentives. I have no idea what they think of the purchase now, but I would hope it’s quite positive. There was a weird slump, but with <a href="https://geoffgraham.me/">Geoff</a> still over there, I think they are doing awesome.</p>
<p>I feel compelled to mention that my content creation career is far from over and takes many forms:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>This</em> site has loads of blog posts.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://blog.codepen.io/">CodePen blog</a> has loads of blog posts, and the <a href="https://blog.codepen.io/radio/">PODCAST IS BACK</a>! Not to mention: THE ENTIRE CODEPEN is a massive trove of content, by far the biggest I’ve been a part of building. I’ve written a ton of public code there, which is like 0.000001% of what is there.</li>
<li>CSS-Tricks had lots of writing, but also video content. </li>
<li>I’ve guest-posted all over the place.</li>
<li>I’ve got GitHub repos. </li>
<li>I <a href="https://frontendmasters.com/blog/author/chriscoyier/">write at Frontend Masters</a>, which is my CSS-Tricks energy replacement, and whose business model around content is perfect.</li>
<li><a href="https://shoptalkshow.com/">ShopTalk Show</a> has over 10 years of weekly podcasts.</li>
<li>I’ve always been at least moderately active on the most appropriate social media platforms throughout my entire career.</li>
</ul>
<p>So. Much. Content. </p>
<p>I still think it’s fun and has value and plan to continue doing it, even if the incentives around doing it are constantly being battered down. I’ll need to continue to evolve how I get value out of it. I do enjoy it so much I’ll probably be explaining <code>border-radius</code> tricks into the dirt with a stick after the apocalypse. </p>
<p>Wes also said of AI:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>As a user, I love it.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I feel that, too. </p>
<p>AI companies do slimy shit, and <em>they know it</em>. But I don’t wanna just take my ball and go home. </p>
<p>There is some real user benefit coming out of AI products right now. It’s fun to be a part of. I’m experiencing genuine productivity boosts from using AI for coding work. The evolution of user interfaces around it is fascinating.</p>
<p>Perhaps ironically, there is an awful lot of user content <em>about</em> AI — lolz.</p>

<p>I saw that <a href="https://screencasting.com/">screencasting.com</a> launched recently. It’s training courses all about building high-quality screencasts. Seemed like a great idea to me with the perfect domain name. There is <em>so much</em> video lately in today’s media and plenty of it involves editing together camera footage, stock clips, screen recordings, etc. The learning curve on doing all this well is decently high, so seems like a good target market.</p>
<p>I bought the course on <a href="https://screencasting.com/products/screenflow-for-screencasters">Screencasting with Screenflow</a> as I use <a href="https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm">Screenflow</a> a decent amount and have for many years but never got any proper training on it. It makes me nervous <a href="https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/versions.htm?accordion=new">it hasn’t been touched in years</a>. I’d like to see an update just to know someone’s hands are on the wheel.</p>
<p>Then I saw that the makers <a href="https://share.transistor.fm/s/9f0963fa">considered the launch of screencasting.com an utter failure</a>. In that podcast episode, Ian Landsman and Aaron Francis talk about it and speculate on what to do about it. I think it’s a little surprising to call something like this a failure so soon. Perhaps with courses if you don’t get a huge initial bump, it’s known that the chances of it ever doing well are slim? I know indie games kinda work that way.</p>
<p>Me, I’d just long-haul the thing. Pluck away at marketing it, finding new customers. Let it just earn what it earns while making it better and building the next thing.</p>

<p>John Allsopp has a new platform <a href="https://conffab.com/">Conffab</a> that is for livestreaming conferences as well as providing on-demand access to past recorded conference presentations. Some of which are behind a paywall. </p>
<p>He’s got good reason to productize this. It boils down to incentives. If it all works, it’s a better place for all: presenters, organizers, and the audience. <a href="https://conffab.com/about-conffab/">He lays it all out here.</a> Just chucking videos on YouTube doesn’t build the right incentives and doesn’t make anybody but Google money.</p>
<p>It’s early days I think. CSS Day talks are on there, and John has provided me a “gift link” for my talk on there, and assured me that sharing it publicly like this is totally cool. So here we go:</p>
<div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex">
<div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="https://conffab.com/presentation/scope-in-css/?gl=uFWAXqB645Sv">My CSS Day talk on Scope on Conffab</a></div>
</div>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>
<p>I should also mention that Frontend Masters has <a href="https://frontendmasters.com/tutorials/?code=coyier&utm_source=coyier">a whole new area of the site</a> where they publish isolated videos (not part of a whole course). </p>
<p>I took my learnings on CSS <code>@scope</code> and recorded three fresh videos on interesting things <code>@scope</code> could do. I haven’t and don’t plan to publish them anywhere else, so if you’re a member there, you might enjoy these focused nuggets on all that!</p>

<p>Benchmarked against real-world case records published each week in the New England Journal of Medicine, we show that the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) correctly diagnoses up to 85% of NEJM case proceedings, a rate <strong>more than four times higher than a group of experienced physicians.</strong> MAI-DxO also gets to the correct diagnosis more cost-effectively than physicians.</p>
<cite><a href="https://microsoft.ai/new/the-path-to-medical-superintelligence/">The Path to Medical Superintelligence</a>, <strong>Dominic King & Harsha Nori</strong><br><br></cite></blockquote>
<p>I got hit by a van one time while I was riding my bike. I ended up going to urgent care and getting an x-ray of my foot, which was obviously hurt. The doctor currently at the urgent care took at look at the x-ray and was like: <em>hard to say but looks fine to me</em>. The clinic called back the next day, as another doctor took a look at the x-ray, and was like: <em>actually your foot is broken.</em></p>
<p>That was nice of them to call back. I definitely want doctors that know what they are doing in the world, let’s keep training doctors. </p>
<p>But also x-rays seem like perfect fodder for AI. Shouldn’t we have like 20 million x-rays of feet along with diagnosis sitting around somewhere? I want my foot x-ray in there. Feels like there should be medical imaging “models” that are <em>pretty damn accurate.</em> Shouldn’t there be 20 million cat scans? 20 million ultrasound videos?</p>
<p>We don’t have to, nor should we, put 100% of our trust in the machines, but it seems like it would be an awfully useful tool in medicine. </p>
<p>And likewise, anything with lots of similar video that you can attach to measured outcomes. 20 million videos of swim meets. 20 million security videos of blackjack tables. 20 million birdfeeders. Tell us about the patterns. Tell us about the anomolies. Tell us things that computers can see that we can’t. </p>

<p>Offerwall lets sites provide potentially <em>a few</em> ways to monetize content, and for users to choose the one that they prefer. For example, a publisher can set up to allow reading their site in exchange for watching an ad (similar to YouTube’s model). That’s pretty interesting, but far more interesting to me, is that it integrates with a third-party service called <a href="https://www.supertab.co/faq">Supertab</a>. Supertab lets people provide their own subscriptions – including a tiny fee for this page, or access to the site for some timed pass – 4 hours, 24 hours, a week, etc. It does this with pretty friction-less wallet integration and by ‘pooling’ the funds until it makes sense to do a real, regular transaction.</p>

<p>For ages, in publishing: <em>Are we gonna do ads or are we going to do memberships?</em> You can kinda mix and match and sell t-shirts and stuff, but all that decision making is on the publisher side. </p>
<p>Interesting to flip the tables and let the readers decide. </p>

<p>Jenn Schiffer, in what was surely a bummer post to write because of all the time and heart she put into Glitch, lists out what’s she’s doing to move her glitch.com projects elsewhere post-<a href="https://blog.glitch.com/post/changes-are-coming-to-glitch/">shutdown</a>.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>i’ve been using codepen since the beginning. i just found this <a href="https://codepen.io/jennschiffer/pen/nMdRmo">“in progress” live horse birth in css</a> that was last saved 11 years ago. i would say this is my biggest recommendation for educators and students who are working with static projects. i’m pretty sure you don’t need a credit card to sign up, but they have a pro subscription tailored for power users and teachers.</p>
<p>anyone who doesn’t think codepen is the blueprint for developer communities is out of their mind and/or element. they curate, create content, <a href="https://codepen.io/challenges">run challenges</a>, etc. the people who run it are great.</p>
<p><a href="https://codepen.io/">check out codepen here</a> and perhaps <a href="https://codepen.io/jennschiffer">follow me for updates on that horse birth</a>.</p>
<cite><a href="https://livelaugh.blog/posts/glitch-alternatives/">my official list of post-glitch.com hosting options</a></cite></blockquote>
<p>💜. Thanks Jenn.</p>
<p>Glitch could spin up a Node server for you, which CodePen doesn’t do, so check out Jenn’s post for plenty of other options. </p>

<p>Somebody emailed me out of the blue offering to sell me <code>coyier.com</code>. </p>
<p>Usually I’m not interested in domains. I have this one, it’s fine. <a href="https://chriscoyier.net/2023/09/21/use-subdomains/">Subdomains are cool</a>. You can put dashes in domains and get them cheap (see: <code>css-tricks.com</code>). There are a billion TLDs now and you don’t really need the dot-com. </p>
<p>But I thought about it, and my brain told me I’d spend a grand on it and absolutely no more. So I wrote them back and said exactly that. Then they emailed back a lower offer, and I said “no”. Then they wrote back with another lower offer, and I said “no”. Then they emailed back and said fine a grand, and I said “ok”. </p>
<p>Part of the reason I did it is that they sent a URL on <code>godaddy.com</code> where the transaction actually happens. I use GoDaddy anyway — I like them for <a href="https://css-tricks.com/this-sites-domain-is-now-safe/">reasons</a>.</p>
<p>All it does is redirect to this site for now. But it opens the idea of using it for family members who might want a site off it. <code>ruby.coyier.com</code> is kinda neat. </p>

It is time to update the Government’s design language to be both usable and beautiful. This effort will be facilitated by a new National Design Studio and by a new Chief Design Officer. The Chief Design Officer will help recruit top creative talent, coordinate with executive departments and agencies (agencies), and devise innovative solutions.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>That sounds good actually, but, hey yo, <em>do you remember that you fucking already had a dream-team of people doing this exact work and <a href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/general-services-administration-shutters-technology-unit-trump-doge/\">you fucking fired them</a>?</em></p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>GSA deputy administrator Thomas Shedd announced the elimination of 18F in an internal email that was sent early Saturday morning. In it, Shedd wrote that the team had been identified as “non-critical,” and that the cuts had been made “in alignment with the President’s Workforce Optimization EO and the recent memo from GSA per the Trump Administration requiring cutting ‘non-essential consulting’ functions.” </p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to mention the embarrassing gutting of the United States Digital Service (USDS, which had <a href=\"https://medium.com/the-u-s-digital-service/our-values-1fc02b53598\">real values</a>) and transformation into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE had zero values. It was the mechanism to dismantle things Trump didn’t like under the veil of saving money, which of course, did the opposite. </p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https://americabydesign.gov/\">They made a landing page for the order</a>. Again, on the surface, it looks good. I want our government to make excellent websites that serve the people that live here. All the people, actually.<a href=\"https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/a-notional-design-studio/\"> Ethan has some choice words</a> on that.</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>… imagine you’re one of the millions of Americans on a prepaid “pay as you go” plan, or on a home network with capped, limited data. In both cases, data overages are tremendously expensive. Now imagine you’re trying to access some critical information online — how to renew your passport, say, or to manage your Social Security — and you’re met with a web page that is literally too expensive for you to view. An overbuilt, too-heavy website isn’t exactly a rarity on today’s internet. (Sadly.) But this design is coming from the federal government, which is quite literally meant to serve every citizen — every single one of them.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The page is tacky, full of mistakes, overweight, and saturated in accessibility failures, despite having every advantage to just do it right (a one-off HTML page is usually a pretty solid starting point).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yeah: <a href=\"https://americabydesign.fail/\">LOL at this parody.</a> </p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Did you know that the people you fired have been making tremendous, quantifiable improvements to government services? When you asked when was the last time someone’s experience with the government exceeded expectations, did you even know that <a href=\"https://fas.org/publication/end-of-irs-direct-file/\">the public gave Direct File a higher Net Promoter Score than Apple</a>?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why did you even mention filing taxes? Do you remember that you were killing Direct File? Do you remember campaigning on that?</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li></li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Christopher Butler doesn’t like the new guy in charge, either, and I think <a href=\"https://www.chrbutler.com/the-national-design-studio-is-a-scam\">makes some good points</a>:</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>President Trump’s appointment of AirBnB co-founder Joe Gebbia as “Chief Design Officer” of the United States is a sickening travesty. It not only proves a fundamental misunderstanding of both design and governance, but an unbound commitment to corruption.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gebbia’s directive to make government services “as satisfying to use as the Apple Store” within three years might serve as an appealing soundbite, but it quickly collapses under the slightest scrutiny: why? how? with what design army? The creation of the so-called National Design Studio and Gebbia’s appointment as its chief should raise serious questions about credentials, institutional destruction, and continued corruption.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I can’t get past firing all these great people from an obviously effective organization just to start it over, do nothing, and try to sound amazing doing it. It’s the most extreme hypocrisy I can imagine. Fuck him, fuck that.</p>",

It could include independent journalists, bloggers, mainstream media, worker-owned media collectives, and just about anyone else who publishes online. Even podcast episodes, videos from your favorite YouTube channels, and online forum posts could slot in, too. Only the stuff you want to see, all in one place, ready to read at your convenience. No email notifications interrupting your peace (unless you want them), no pressure to read articles immediately. Wouldn’t that be nice?</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few more reasons:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It’s fun to experiment with different RSS readers. Exploring different UI/UX like a new playground. I like switching up the fonts, colors, etc in use in different readers litreally just for kicks.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can heart/star/favorite things, which is a very quick way to get back to things you could tell in the moment you wanted to remember.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bigger workflows can be built around RSS as it’s open technology.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can visit the website directly still anyway. I often perfer to. It’s a click away.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Like Molly says, it’s not just certain nerds with RSS feeds, it can be newsletters, saved posts from anywhere, podcasts, etc.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I could keep going listing reasons and resources and yadda yadda, but right now, I’m thinking about the pushback. Why would someone <em>not</em> do this? Tell me! I’m curious. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know one pushback I’ve recently heard is that it’s easy to screw up. For instance, you’re like: <em>I like The Verge.</em> So you subscribe to The Verge RSS feed, and then only like a handful of other things. The Verge publishes<em> a lot</em> so now everytime you visit your reader, it’s all Verge stuff, and you just get sick of it in 2 days. That feels very fair. You gotta unsubscribe from that if that’s how you feel. It’s <strong>constantly work to curate your feeds</strong><em> </em>so it’s a nice pace for you an a nice collection of stuff you actually do want to read. That’s work and not everyone wants work. They don’t want another inbox to manage, which is fair.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don’t do the RSS thing, what are your reasons?</p>",

"content": "<p><a href=\"https://syntax.fm/show/922/pre-commit-hooks-requestanimationframe-code-reviews-and-more#t=25:16\">Wes on Syntax</a>:</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I write content. That content is consumed by people. But a lot of it has been used to train AIs for people to get a very quick answer. You can see the amount of bots visiting websites has been going up significantly. You ask a question about JavaScript and they go suck in 40 pages and it distills it down. From a user perspective I love it. I don’t want to read your life story, I want to get straight to the answer. How often do you just read the Google Summary and just close the tab?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those people that [create content] for money, that business is going to be significantly disrupted. What happens to the people that rely on that money? There’s no shortage of people putting content on the internet right now. Will that stop? I don’t know.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It’ll stop when there is no longer any incentive to do so. Those incentives are various! Money is one. That was a <em>partial</em> motivator for me. Being able to support myself and my family partially through advertising on content was important. But I also found it to be fun and mentally rewarding, like it gave my life purpose. Even if the money wanes, those incentives may endure for many. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Promoting other things can be another incentive. If you can still manage to get eyes on you, the value doesn’t have to come from traditional advertising. It could be because you’re working for a company, and there is value in the DevRel. You could be taking pre-orders for your next book. You could offer a training course for sale. Your superfans can pay for superchats and supermemberships on your Twitch or whatever.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as there are incentives left to create technical content, people will. And AIs will continue to train on it. That does frame it as an adversarial relationship, which is a bummer (something something capitalism). </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wes <a href=\"https://syntax.fm/show/922/pre-commit-hooks-requestanimationframe-code-reviews-and-more#t=27:20\">specifically wondered about me!</a></p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>He spent a good chunk of his life. His legacy was putting out very helpful information. CSS-Tricks is a huge swath of information. He was able to that because he was able to make money. The next CSS-Tricks isn’t going to be able to make that much money. The AIs are just going to gobble it up and contribute to our brain rot. </p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I certainly wrote a lot of content for that site. And so did a <em>ton</em> of <a href=\"https://css-tricks.com/authors/\">other authors</a>, who still do to this day. And AIs have slurped and increasing reslurp it up. My main concerns with the AI-slurp-age are:</p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It’s <a href=\"https://chriscoyier.net/2023/04/21/the-secret-list-of-websites/\">rude</a>. Nobody asked me (or the other authors) if that’s OK. Now that’s the bar and they never will.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>The business model is akin to <a href=\"https://chriscoyier.net/2024/10/21/a-penny/\">stealing pennies</a>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI interfaces are incentivized to <em>not</em> credit sources or link out. They want you to think that they are the brain, and you need not go anywhere else. </li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<p>I’m <em>slightly</em> less concerned that AI slurpage will disincentivize all content creation. Humans love other humans, and we’ll always want to connect with each other. We want to learn together and laugh together and play together, and, as weird as it is, sharing technical content with each other is a niche in there. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wes wondered if I “got out” at the right time. I sorta think I did. It was not premeditated, though. At the time, I was much more focused on advertising. For years leading up to the sale, I invested more and more money into the site with the goal of growth, only to see traffic stay flat. It wasn’t perfectly correlated, but flat traffic doesn’t help advertising revenue. Ramping up the amount of work for the same traffic and same money wasn’t feeling great. At the time, I assumed it was just a temporary slump, but now with enough distance, it kinda wasn’t. Fortunately, Digital Ocean didn’t really need the advertising, which is why I thought it was a perfect buyer. They had other incentives. I have no idea what they think of the purchase now, but I would hope it’s quite positive. There was a weird slump, but with <a href=\"https://geoffgraham.me/\">Geoff</a> still over there, I think they are doing awesome.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel compelled to mention that my content creation career is far from over and takes many forms:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>This</em> site has loads of blog posts.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <a href=\"https://blog.codepen.io/\">CodePen blog</a> has loads of blog posts, and the <a href=\"https://blog.codepen.io/radio/\">PODCAST IS BACK</a>! Not to mention: THE ENTIRE CODEPEN is a massive trove of content, by far the biggest I’ve been a part of building. I’ve written a ton of public code there, which is like 0.000001% of what is there.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>CSS-Tricks had lots of writing, but also video content. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>I’ve guest-posted all over the place.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>I’ve got GitHub repos. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>I <a href=\"https://frontendmasters.com/blog/author/chriscoyier/\">write at Frontend Masters</a>, which is my CSS-Tricks energy replacement, and whose business model around content is perfect.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://shoptalkshow.com/\">ShopTalk Show</a> has over 10 years of weekly podcasts.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>I’ve always been at least moderately active on the most appropriate social media platforms throughout my entire career.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So. Much. Content. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still think it’s fun and has value and plan to continue doing it, even if the incentives around doing it are constantly being battered down. I’ll need to continue to evolve how I get value out of it. I do enjoy it so much I’ll probably be explaining <code>border-radius</code> tricks into the dirt with a stick after the apocalypse. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wes also said of AI:</p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>As a user, I love it.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel that, too. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI companies do slimy shit, and <em>they know it</em>. But I don’t wanna just take my ball and go home. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is some real user benefit coming out of AI products right now. It’s fun to be a part of. I’m experiencing genuine productivity boosts from using AI for coding work. The evolution of user interfaces around it is fascinating.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps ironically, there is an awful lot of user content <em>about</em> AI — lolz.</p>",

In that podcast episode, Ian Landsman and Aaron Francis talk about it and speculate on what to do about it. I think it’s a little surprising to call something like this a failure so soon. Perhaps with courses if you don’t get a huge initial bump, it’s known that the chances of it ever doing well are slim? I know indie games kinda work that way.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Me, I’d just long-haul the thing. Pluck away at marketing it, finding new customers.

I ended up going to urgent care and getting an x-ray of my foot, which was obviously hurt. The doctor currently at the urgent care took at look at the x-ray and was like: <em>hard to say but looks fine to me</em>. The clinic called back the next day, as another doctor took a look at the x-ray, and was like: <em>actually your foot is broken.</em></p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was nice of them to call back. I definitely want doctors that know what they are doing in the world, let’s keep training doctors. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>But also x-rays seem like perfect fodder for AI. Shouldn’t we have like 20 million x-rays of feet along with diagnosis sitting around somewhere? I want my foot x-ray in there. Feels like there should be medical imaging “models” that are <em>pretty damn accurate.</em> Shouldn’t there be 20 million cat scans? 20 million ultrasound videos?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don’t have to, nor should we, put 100% of our trust in the machines, but it seems like it would be an awfully useful tool in medicine. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>And likewise, anything with lots of similar video that you can attach to measured outcomes. 20 million videos of swim meets. 20 million security videos of blackjack tables. 20 million birdfeeders. Tell us about the patterns. Tell us about the anomolies. Tell us things that computers can see that we can’t. </p>",
