From what I’ve observed, people are increasingly checking out of social media (or turning their profiles private), because it’s just unappealing unless you’re actively promoting something.
People have said this about virtually every new writing technology, from pencils to typewriters, from computers to spell-check. Personally I would never use AI for writing, but it's absolutely a power tool for coding. I…
There are certain things I enjoy coding by hand, in exactly the same way I like using a manual coffee grinder. Coding can be enjoyable. But most of the time coding is a means to an end. I bet your friend in HVAC was not…
This article starts off by saying AI can be useful for question-answering, but then quickly states that if you're using AI to generate code "you're wasting your time:" > The reason AI is a bad tool is that generally…
My friend, there are over 2000 VFX shots in Fury Road, and at least 600 in Fall Guy. I get that people are tired of CGI, but it’s a tool that is used in virtually every film that reaches theaters for reasons as prosaic…
It really depends on the tool… CRMs and EHRs are often designed to be customizable. But end-users typically don't want to spend a lot of time configuring and customizing the interface itself. All the choices quickly…
The effect of the interface becoming "invisible" is actually a function of time spent in the interface. I think what the author is reacting to is discretionary friction; designers or product folks adding features or…
