This Machine Kills Fascists

Finally got around to re-building my BauerLite 0 with Dynacap EC switches. Unlike traditional mechanical switches EC switches activate by detecting changes in electrical charge, or capacitance, without physical metal contact points. A true 'oneness with cup rubreh' is the result.

Going Subtle With Zed Predictions

People love to hate on generative AI, especially when it shows up where it wasn't before. Something like 60% of global venture capital is invested in AI—yes, AI Enshitification is real. So there's a lot of smoke there, but there's some fire. People who use text editors for writing code are right in the middle of that fire. This is fine.

Infinite Scrolling with Turbo and Frames

Infinite scrolling is a dark pattern, and traditional pagination controls are anachronistic on a modern web page. There is a better way. An infinite scroll (with user controlls) and a sensible NoJS fallback. The venerable Turbo library makes this kind of thing super easy to implement in any framework. It has been my go-to pattern for pagination for a while now.
