Running local models in my M4 48Gb MacBook is poop compared to cloud models (and not even talking top tier models) It sometimes just crashes. I don&#39;t mind slow agent speed, but don&#39;t crash on me on simple requests. Software development in 2026 is boring

&quot;Cognitive Surrender&quot; &quot;Cognitive offloading is delegating to the AI and still owning the answer. Cognitive surrender is when the AIโs output quietly becomes your output and there is nothing you feel is left to check. For software engineers the line between the two moves under your feet most days, and most of us are crossing it without noticing.&quot; ๐ https://addyosmani.com/blog/cognitive-surrender/ #AI

๐ RIcard Torres &lt;dev&gt; &quot;How to set WordPress block default values&quot; On my photography blog, I always add a Gallery Block and always configure it in the same way: 1 column, no image cropping, link to the media file. Turns out you can define this gallery block default within your WordPress theme (or a plugin, if you don&#39;t want to change your theme). ๐ https://ricard.dev/how-to-set-wordpress-block-default-values/ #WordPress

I used to get excited watching the new stuff from #GoogleIO This year, there&#39;s nothing that I&#39;m looking for. Most of the things I don&#39;t believe I&#39;ll use. They won&#39;t improve my online experience, and they just keep on jeopardizing my career. ๐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMhKgQmeMhI

What&#39;s wrong with the reset.css taking priority in #WordPress 7.0 in all my blogs? The font is set as serif, rather than the correct one defined in other CSS files that should overwrite the reset.css Is it just me?

Just installed a Docker image for this self hosted series/movies tracker. If you, like me, want to track weekly series releases and know what you&#39;ve watched. Have a look! Simple, yet complete, works great, good design. ๐ https://github.com/FuzzyGrim/Yamtrack

I have tried the new Gemma 4 Apache Licensed models e4b (9.6GB) and 26b (18GB)... I&#39;ve set up #Continue with Ollama on my VSCode. They are very bad. Both models. I had hoped for maybe a slower response time, but better quality. They respond quite fast on my M1 MacBook with 32Gb of RAM, but the code quality is very poor. #AI #Gemma #Ollama
