👀 … https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2026/apr/15/eternal-november-generative-ai-llm/ …my colleague Denver Gingerich writes: newcomers' extensive reliance on LLM-backed generative AI is comparable to the Eternal September onslaught to USENET in 1993. I was on USENET extensively then; I confirm the disruption was indeed similar. I urge you to read his essay, think about it, & join Denver, me, & others at the following datetimes…

If you need more examples of how awesome #Immich is:
This morning I wanted to find a certain photo I took during the rain.
➡️ Opened up iPhoto and typed "Rain." It spit out a bunch of useless results (like 1800 "Rainforest" images which were basically every forest photo I've ever taken, most in clear weather) or text results for the word.
➡️ Opened Immich and typed "Rain." Tons of photos AND videos. Found what I wanted! It wasn't super accurate but it produced results!

NEWS: A new Claude Code plugin called `/extract-design` crawls websites and extracts full design systems—colors, fonts, spacing, shadows, components—in markdown optimized for AI interpretation.
ANALYSIS: A genuinely useful tool for bootstrapping projects and documentation. Worth thinking through how source sites get credited—or don't—when their design systems become prompt fodder for AI.

I built another thing!
This time I was attempting to make nice themed #markdown slides. I wanted them to look the same on Mac,Windows and Linux hence choosing markdown and not doing a keynote/pptx conversion. But there isn't a nice editor for #marp that I could find that worked on all platforms, so I wrote one! It can be installed via npm.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/marp-ui
Hopefully someone else will find this useful too!
