Pick them up for what? Web development? I'd pick up PHP instead if you need a job.


Probably because you're expecting it and looking at a demo page. Put these voices behind a real video or advertisement and I would imagine most people wouldn't be able to tell that it's AI generated at all.


It'd be annoying to me whether it was AI or human. The faux-excitement and pseudo-bonhomie is grating. They should focus on how people actually talk, not on copying the vocal intonation of coked-up public radio presenters just back from a positive affirmation seminar.

I can't think of another CMS that lets you easily make over $1000 for a day or two worth of work, often times without actually writing any PHP or doing some minimal overrides with filters and actions. Everything is pretty streamlined for the most part. There's stable plugins that have been active for over 10 years that pretty much do anything you can think of. Page builders that output modern HTML and CSS. Optimized hosting ready to go. Secure backup solutions that let you restore everything easily without needing to SSH into a remote server. You're not locked into an obscure language or niche CMS that leaves the client stranded down the road, or with big bills because they needed to hire an Elixir developer for their Phoenix blog they deployed via wasm to fly.io 3 years ago.

The Inertia.js v2.0 beta is now available!

This marks a huge step forward for Inertia. The core library has been completely rewritten to architecturally support asynchronous requests, enabling a whole set of new features, including:

- Polling - Prefetching - Deferred props - Infinite scrolling - Lazy loading data on scroll


So does Statamic, based on Laravel.


PHP's Laravel can do everything in that list. I'd just stick with that and focus on whatever you're trying to do, especially as a lazy developer.

Crazy Matt woke up one day at 40 years old and just decided to ruin his entire reputation and company that he spent over a decade building up.


His reputation wasn't exactly sterling before: https://pearsonified.com/truth-about-thesis-com


Earlier this year, Matt chased a popular Tumblr user he banned under Tumblr's weirdly transphobic TOS to Twitter to harass her publicly. He immediately took a "sabbatical" from Tumblr after this.

Please point out where Tumblr’s TOS is “weirdly transphobic”. Users who post pornography are banned regardless of gender identity.

Matt’s sabbatical from Automattic was already underway when this incident occurred.

Disclaimer: I work for Automattic but I am speaking personally.


are all of you called Matt over there?


That’s why it’s called AutoMATTic

Wait, is Automattic really called that because Matt Mullenweg founded Automattic? I never realized that


Odd that user got singled out, it seems pretty average for Tumblr
