I agree with this in very large part, although I want to be careful not to read it as dropping the responsibility on individual developers.
It’s perfectly fair to say, “I made something that might help people, so I’m sharing it, but I don’t have the capacity to support everyone who depends on it.” It’s also fair to say, “This thing would really help me, but I don’t have the capacity/ability to take on responsibility for its maintenance just so I can use it.”
No •individual• is in the wrong there. It’s a sign of broken systems and broken society that in such situations we so often cannot muster the collective capacity to support that kind of commons — the kind that exceeds the capacity of any individual maintainer — for the good of all of us.

On Instagram on Android the bottom action bar is broken most of the time and only killing the app fixes it for a short time.

Love how thoroughly Victor Patrascan eviscerates the MAGA tourist at his show in Antwerp.

A look at how some teens use popular role-playing chatbots and, for parents, the high stakes task of understanding the impact of the possibly addictive products (New York Times)

What Teens Are Doing With Those Role-Playing Chatbots
Harassing bots with “funny violence.” Confiding about a broken heart. Chatting with a block of cheese. Filling a void of loneliness.

Your company is a MACHINE for turning MEETINGS into REPORTS. Too bad no one reads those reports.
You also have dashboards, which one might skim before doing what they were gonna do anyway.
Tech orgs have all the data in the world, but have lost the ability to read it, understand it, or act on it.

The illiterate organization
Even the most actionable insight will never be acted upon when coherence has broken down.

Just finished reading through a paper I'm peer-reviewing for [redacted publication].
I'm about 90% sure it was mostly or entirely LLM slop. Filled with inconsistencies, broken [?] citations, bizarre punctuation, and things that made no sense.
What a waste of time.

Silly idea: Monocrystalline rock candy.
I'm thinking you start with a normal polycrystalline rock candy block, break off one of the larger crystals as a seed, maybe polish or something to reduce defects on the broken surface, then lower into a supersaturated sucrose solution.
Then let it grow for a while and hopefully extract a relatively clear, defect-free <100> sucrose crystal.
