When I wrote about App-pocalypse Now in 2014, I implied the future still belonged to the web. And it does. But it's also true that the web has changed a lot in the last 10 years, much less the last 20 or 30. Websites have gotten a lot

On Jakob Nielsen, AI hype, and accessibility

from Eric Bailey [alt+shift+b] in programming

5th Mar 2024
A few years ago I made a New Year’s Eve resolution to stop overthinking assholes. I could delicately, patiently, and painstakingly debunk the gigantic, misplaced swing of a man who is burning others' lived experience as fuel to propel his increasingly irrelevant career. I could...

Where are we going from here? Software engineering needs formal methods

from ntietz.com blog - technically a blog [alt+shift+b] in programming

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
