      AI exists and traditional software engineering interviews were already absurd.

I propose that interviews now consist of playing a minimum of 4 hours of Factorio together to determine if you'd want to work with someone.

      There's been a quiet discourse among creators about this for quite some time, but it's no longer that quiet.

I hate what AI is doing to the internet. Yes, it has its upsides. But the downsides outweigh those IMO. I have my own thoughts and feelings about the state of things that are still brewing.😞

      Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.
      2ality blog: temporarily offline Dear visitor! Two things happened recently: - The income from my book sales went from being enough for me to live off (2024) to zero (2026). - The traffic to my blog and my books (which were free to read online) increased beyond what I can currently afford. Virtually all of it comes from AI crawlers, so there is no ad income. Therefore, I’m taking my blog and my books offline so that I can decide what to do next – especially w.r.t. AI companies stealing my work. This may take a while (think months): I don’t have any energy to deal with this right now. I apologize for this (hopefully temporary) inconvenience to my human readers! You can still buy my books at Payhip. Axel Rauschmayer

      Sea cucumber uses its frills to catch plankton and other small particulate, and then feed it in to its central vent (which it also poops from).
