Every few months, a new AI model is released, and the same question comes up: "Will AI replace software developers?" My answer is simple: No, but it will change what it means to be a developer.

They're incredibly useful, and they've made developers more productive than ever. But writing code is only one part of software engineering. Developer...

I saw an issue today on a fairly popular project (better-auth, see the link to the issue attached). No repro, no context, just a wall of caps and profanity ending in "fuck you". The maintainers ship this for free. People run production businesses on top of it, for free. And the thanks is someone raging into a text box because a minor bump cost them an afternoon. I maintain and contribute to a few projects myself, so this hits a nerve a bit. Something people don't see from the outside: it's not e...

Diablo 4's worst endgame grind just became a lot less painful in Season 14, thanks to a batch of impactful changes to gems and conversion recipes. In Diablo's latest expansion, Lord of Hatred, Blizzard introduced two new tiers of gems to its ARPG: Horadric and Flawless Horadric Gems. These gems are far more powerful than their lower-tier counterparts, but there is a catch--they can't be found as drops. Instead, they can only be crafted using the Horadric Cube's Amalgamation recipe. The recipe tu...
