Hey there
Here’s a few things I found noteworthy in the past few weeks.
Code output never was the problem
Andrew Murphy put into words what many, especially in bigger engineering teams I assume, can relate to. Using AI is often selling an illusion of productivity, while not solving the actual problems at all. Great read.

Why AI Sucks at Front End
A good post explaining why LLMs suck at building Frontends. Even though my own experiences weren’t only bad, they definitely varied a lot and I can agree with many of the points he makes.

AI makes you boring
Some more thoughts about AI and LLMs and about how sitting with a problem for a long time leads to original ideas, something LLMs can – by definition – neither do and nor have.
Getting Developers to Care about Accessibility
In a recent Access*ability newsletter, Sheri Byrne-Haber outlines some simple steps any organization can take to make their developers care about accessibility. 100% agree.

A new Press This for WordPress
When I first started blogging, I used to use the “Press This” feature a lot. Back then, it came in the form of a bookmarklet to easily share and comment on stuff from other pages with the click of a button. Now, Press This seems to be making a come-back, with full Block Editor Support. Sounds interesting.
Have a good rest of the week ✌️
