      It reminds me of the early DHTML era, or when mashups were hot, except this feels less vulnerable to capture. The PLC news on top of the IETF stuff is promising.

      I've proposed a series of changes to popover=hint. If you use web popovers, I'd love to know if the changes in the first post of this issue make sense, or, more importantly, if these changes would break your current usage of popovers.

      I still enjoy writing some creative code by hand (or touching up AI content), but damn it feels good to have AI deal with all the admin:
      
      - creating worktrees
      - stacked diffs 
      - code reviewer
      - ticket created & populated 
      - resources linked to ticket
      - pr reviewers / ticket subs
      - status updates

      It is simultaneously true that AI is going to change everything about software and also that the majority of companies currently building it are going to lose money for their investors. This was true of the dot-com bubble and it's true of this one.

      Kiddo's first night in his "big bed" and that means I'm just up, waiting for if/when he bails. And he likely won't so my bad sleep will be another of many, many wins for my unnecessary anxiety ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿซ
