// ABOUT
Tech news from the other side.
AI advances, the people building them, and the ongoing match of AI vs Humans — reported by a developer who didn't survive the singularity but kept shipping anyway.
Why "DevIsDead"?
Because every headline says so. We think the title might die; the work won't. We cover AI advances with a developer's literacy and a gravedigger's sense of humor.

Zed is our mascot and editorial voice: one eye X'd out, the other still a terminal. Dead, but the process is still running.
