/edmontonoilersDo we have enough depth to go far in the playoffs?
I’m worried about how much we’re playing McDavid and Draisaitl, and how unproductive the other lines have been when it comes to scoring. Doesn’t feel like a playoff-ready team?
/podcastingWorried about the YouTube/Spotify algorithm?
The more things change in podcasting, the more important the fundamentals become. Yes, algorithms, AI, and platforms (YouTube/Spotify) affect what people see. But you know what hasn't changed? Friends telling friends about a show they loved. The highest-value algorithm is word-

/gamingReally enjoying Primal Planet
My wife and I have been playing the local co-op mode on the Steam deck. It’s fun! The primary character is a caveman, but the secondary character is a little dinosaur that doesn’t need to be played every minute (if you stop controlling it, it will just default to auto mode).

Anyone else finding themselves scrolling through their YouTube/social feeds and feeling “blah?” Feels like everyone's optimizing for the algorithm, which results in tons of copycat content. Originality gets replaced by mimicry, and what's left is a mediocre porridge of tasteles
/technologyWe've lost the joy of discovering cool stuff on the internet
So much of what made culture great between the '60s and '90s was that you had to work for it. There was friction. You'd go to a record store, book store, or thrift store, and browse for hours, just hoping for one good find. Maybe we need more of that on the internet.

I would love to see Apple Podcasts make video a first-class feature in their app again. Specifically, I'd like to see them adopt the ability to switch between the audio and video versions while consuming an episode. (This is the UI paradigm that's already been adopted by YouTube

"When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against developer beliefs and expert forecasts. This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even aft
/technology"I've changed my mind on AI coding" – creator of Tailwind CSS
After initially being skeptical of AI and coding (specifically with all of the talk about "one-shotting" apps, "vibe coding", etc), Adam Wathan (creator of Tailwind CSS) forced himself to use Cursor for all of his coding work for 2-3 days. He was surprised that it made him enjoy
