The fact that rebase by default includes the parent + all children is so nice.

Humans tend to vastly overestimate their own skill and underestimate others (i.e. I’m a good driver, everyone else sucks).

It’s always felt very clinical and devoid of character. I want images to make me feel something and that includes being anchored in a time and place through the character of the image itself.

I'm happy this seems to be the dominant view and not that its a cost saving technique. This also could be because investors have wised up to companies using AI as a convenient excuse for doing layoffs that were going to happen for other reasons.

Each vertex of the exposure triangle gives different qualities to the image. It depends on what your intention for the image is. Sometimes I do, in fact, want a clean image with a lot of shutter drag.

In the medium-long term LLMs will make the properties of programming languages much more important than anything else. This will render languages like Ruby, who's primary selling point is human happiness when writing, to only hobby projects.
