A solid checklist for agents to implement on most sites. Very few sites need 100% coverage, but most should probably check most of these boxes

This is what makes rss so interesting to me. Its boring old tech that fell out of mainstream popularity years ago, yet many sites still support it. Not all, especially ones that come with a good dickover.
At the same time, it’s sad to see the human internet dying, even more quickly than before. Not only do we have rampant bots and sites seo maxxing to get to the top. We have ai search overview that answers mose simple questions pretty good, chat that does good, and agents at our fingertips. The need for tutorials is pretty much dead.
What we need now is human experiences shared and documented more than ever. I’ve been writing a whole lot less simply because this transition has been hard. Most of my pre 2024 posts were how to, notes for future me. Things so simple agents just spat out better versions in seconds these days with barely a question.

It’s incredible how some problems seem so simple until you load the browser with so much text it just bogs to nothing and how impossibly difficult it becomes after this point. Very cool implementation of a problem that…. who has this problem. If it takes me 2 mintues to scroll through a diff at mach speed like the video, is a diff going to solve my problem?

Remember this clip in 5 years, after the churn we just had with RTO and ai this is going to hit. Or AI will just figure is all out for us, who knows anymore. Not that they will figure out the human side, the what does this do, why is it here. A temporary fix is a clear signal to your other devs I didn’t have enough time to do it right, but this works. I think AI will squash a large number of these, especially in big coorporate internal tooling where you are trying to juggle as much as you can and just keep it a float at all times.

How many people watching this sent their clankers out to make a uuid service for them as they were watching it. UUID as a service sounds great, heck @steipete just has to mention it and his claws are on it building out the service, no need to even type anything or directly form a thought, just mention it in the meeting and a new repo will be up by end of meeting.

Flowing Thoughts Ai To Help Blast Radius #
I'm having really interesting conversations with ai recently. Like things I never thought I would care this deeply about. In part because it feels like the vulns are coming faster and harder, and in part because it is really enabling me to invest some time into the development that I would not otherwise have. I'm thinking about least privilege, reducing dependencies in containers, limiting pod access to the Internet and other pods. Reducing the blast radius.
Now I've always been hesitant to bring in new dependencies. I've always tried to strip to the lowest possible dependency set n my containers, but I would also re-use the main server container to run cron job workflows. I wasn't giving much thought about what services they could access, or their internet access

Not sure if this is a quote from somewhere but thought it was some interesting advice that @thorstenball received when he was starting into web development. He asked a friend already in the industry if he thought he had a shot. He had no degree, no credentials, no experience at the time.
