Its boring old tech that fell out of mainstream popularity years ago, yet many sites still support it.  Not all, especially ones that come with a good [[dickover]].\r\n\r\nAt the same time, it's sad to see the human internet dying, even more quickly than before.  Not only do we have rampant bots and sites seo maxxing to get to the top.  We have ai search overview that answers mose simple questions pretty good, chat that does good, and agents at our fingertips.  The need for tutorials is pretty much dead.\r\n\r\nWhat we need now is human experiences shared and documented more than ever.  I've been writing a whole lot less simply because this transition has been hard.  Most of my pre 2024 posts were how to, notes for future me.  Things so simple agents just spat out better versions in seconds these days with barely a question.","published":true,"public":true,"date":"2026-05-31T11:15:38.039604","id":1012,"author":{"username":"waylonwalker","full_name":"Waylon Walker","email":"waylon@waylonwalker.com","disabled":false}},{"title":"On Rendering Diffs :: Pierre Computer Company","link":"https://pierre.computer/writing/on-rendering-diffs","tags":"dev","message":"It's incredible how some problems seem so simple until you load the browser with so much text it just bogs to nothing and how impossibly difficult it becomes after this point.

A temporary fix is a clear signal to your other devs I didn't have enough time to do it right, but this works.

They talk a lot about industry trends and that ai/llms have been here long enough to see that they are the new iphone.  In some way you need to learn to work with them.  Much of the minutia is churn, it will change and we will forget about it in six months.  Working at amp right now is really trying to focus on releasing exactly the right thing and not everything.
