  I Shall Wear Midnight

  Their words

  I Shall Wear Midnight was the best of the remaining Pratchett novels. It's the penultimate Tiffany Aching book and, in my opinion, the best. All of the elements of the previous books come together in snarky competence porn that was a delight to read.

  Making coding easy makes design more critical, not less: when anyone can produce working features, the quality of the experience is what sets products apart.

  Their words

  In a vibe coding future, companies will hopefully invest more in understanding user needs, refining the interface, and polishing details that delight users, because those are harder for AI to get right without guidance.
