26s agoOn the one hand, I truly don't care about the House Democrats who didn't show up for the fake Hegseth impeachment vote.
On the other hand, using the no-shows as a cudgel against Jeffries' leadership is good praxis.
Anyway, we'll get Hegseth in January, and all the other crooks and idiots too. And by "get" I don't mean impeach since it will remain impossible to get a conviction in the Senate. I mean subpoena for hearings, and arrest & imprison when they ignore the subpoena.

My parents got help from my grandma (mom’s mom) on the down payment for their first house. It was 1972.
I never thought of us as being poor, but we sure didn’t have much to spare either.
This was not generational wealth. Grandma T rented her apartment in Victoria. This was her decision to distribute the bit of money she had saved up as an LPN (she got her LPN license at 59) before she retired. She wanted to see her kids enjoy their “inheritance”.
…as we as a community face this AI-driven transition, it’s never been more important.
I believe we have to be intentional about the architectural choices we make. Do agents represent the human, or is it ok for sites to block them? What rights and responsibilities should websites, users, and automated agents have? How do we preserve human agency, accessibility, privacy, and user choice as these technologies evolve?

Folks often look at me weirdly when I say to them that I don’t really think AI changes the fundamental task. Something along the lines this thread is arguing is what I mean. It’s in the solving of the problem that we find out what it is, and code generation is (at best) neutral in that process.
Nothing screams "Please use our tools to build your product" quite like taking the mask off and saying, "Thanks for using our product, you have trained our models and we now have our own products to compete directly with our soon-to-be-bankrupt former customers."
Microsoft, you just got WordPerfected and Lotus 123'd at the same time.
My hands never feel quite as dirty as when I start typing on a new Mac.

I am seeking re-election to the W3C Technical Architecture Group.
I have worked with data on the web for a long time. A decade or two ago, that meant JSON and CSV and Linked Data. Now it means things like semantics for agents and intent-driven design. The common thread is still serving human users: connecting us, informing us, giving us the tools to make life work. That’s what we had in mind in writing the Ethical Web Principles, and 1/

@gvwilson had just filed a Bram issue asking for "Willison-style PRs" with aggressive folding of LLM-written contributions. This was a dopeslap for me as I am a huge fan of HTML's summary/details pattern which is also now well supported in various Markdown contexts.
It's /so/ important, and I've extended it beyond PRs to all agent-written prose on GitHub. Everything will be a lot more scannable from now on! Thanks again for the nudge, Greg, and thank you DJ for drawing attention to GitHub's* latent support for human/machine symbiosis.

*When I say GitHub I really mean "forge" which is the generic term Bram uses for GitHub, GitLab, and other backends it could support.
