By prioritizing workers and the middle class, Biden has created the best economy in decades—for everyone. “Inflation is low, unemployment is low and there’s virtually no hint of a recession. But many Americans, according to surveys, are convinced the economy is terrible.”
How do journalists explain this paradox? Either it’s an unfathomable mystery, or it’s Biden’s poor messaging.
The obvious explanation—that journalists are failing at THEIR job—escapes them.

First time I used #TailwindCSS I liked the approach but I was not fully convinced.
This time I have to say I'm more on this boat.
I see more and more component libraries based on this framework, and I'm also impressed by design tools (like Figma, but more are coming) that can easily generate TW code.
Finally, for some reasons, it seems that AI tools can easily haandle this kind of output (see https://velocity.builder.io/)

Imagine if a company made an AI tool that instead of doing all the "design”, it did all the stuff the tech bros love doing instead. They'd lose their shit.
I put design in quotes because design weirdly isn't just colouring stuff in, but try telling a comp sci guy that lol

Developers are way too focused on launches.
Sure, if you have a large audience, it may work. And yes, you can hit the jackpot with a famous person sharing it. (famous people, share more stuff made by unfamous people!) But, this kind of thing just reeks of survivorship bias. I bet the emotional toll of a "failed" launch has killed a huge amount of products.
Getting noticed is **incredibly** difficult, but a soft launch has big advantages, and I think it should be the default.

Has anyone (other than me) proposed making bottom-posting the default when quote-boosts are implemented?
Bottom-posting is IMO the difference between "hey look at this" culture and "yes, and..." culture. It's a small difference, but I think it frames conversations in a very different way.

I recently started listening to an audiobook of Robinson Crusoe in the car (read by David Warner of The Omen and a few Star Trek movies!) while doing errands and for a while I was like, "You know, there are those comic book adaptations of classic literature. What if I did something like that but as a visual novel."
Anyway, I discarded that idea when Robinson ended up in "The Brazils" and started buying slaves.
