Brillant, and what I've been saying since vibecoding emerged: "From the bottom: no juniors entering the pipeline, so no new seniors. From the top: existing seniors slowly losing the depth that made them senior. The pipeline is collapsing from both ends simultaneously." (via @spinscale.bsky.social)

OpenJDK Interim Policy on Generative AI: openjdk.org/legal/ai. This aligns with my experience using GenAI tools: they are good at grasping some dusty context corners, but for surgical OpenJDK work you need to absolutely own every single line you push into the project.

CSS is DOOMed!

I've build DOOM in CSS and every wall, floor, barrel, and imp is a div, positioned in 3D space using CSS transforms.

Try it out! But... not every browser can handle it. This is taking the browser to its limit. Chrome has some issues. Safari too. Bugs will be filed.
