imagining a future where orgs/people with morals and spines who build stuff for actual people instead of someone at the end of a b2b supply chain start to really thrive. calm apps that do their job well and fuck off. less focus on growth. more human touches. no selling of souls to vc.

Pre-ordered yesterday, very much looking forward to its release :)

"I vibe-coded a…" "I asked ChatGPT to…" Brother please I am begging you to do something enriching with your time on this planet. Please stop treating your relationship with artificial intelligence as a personality. Please just play Final Fantasy Tactics Advance or Paint A Picture or Something.

technology used to be cool, but now it’s owned by the worst, most moneysick humans on the planet. but there are transsexual furry hackers out there still fighting the good fight

Billions dumped into this. Billions wasted. Meanwhile the cost of living crisis makes people's lives a living hell. This stuff makes me so mad.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

NEW: The IDF is shooting children at aid stations for target practice. Dr Nick Maynard says soldiers chose particular body parts to target on different days - one day head, then chest, abdomen & testicles. "I would never have believed this possible unless I'd witnessed this with my own eyes."

‘Vibe coding’ as a phrase is embarrassing to me. In an industry where the bar was already very low, it suggests we can care even less. It’s another step towards enshittification. The only way to make great software is to truly reason about the code and systems. There are no shortcuts.
