going to build a coding agent that does nothing but press this button for you

accepted my first PR on a thing that I vibe-coded and I’m feeling extremely “I’m a H4XX0R” about it

TIL 'tweening' is a webdev thing: github.com/tweenjs/twee...

the feeling of really getting into vibe coding and there’s like five new frameworks and six new agent skills released every day

Easy feature win: an LLM interface (web, CLI, IDE, whatever) that detects when it has asked you questions and lets you answer inline

starting to feel this way about agentic frameworks, every fifth tweet is like “if you’re using claude without the floop mcp layering into habanero with euclidean prompting you deserve to be shot in a ditch”

I was losing my mind earlier trying to figure out how to revert a git commit (it's not that obvious) and someone pointed out to me that you can literally just tell codex 'Revert to commit xyz' and it'll do it and I was like

LLM Amelia Bedelia moment: I told codex to make a plan for something, but apparently forgot to instruct it to _then tell me it_

“prompt hacking” “context engineering” jesus just say it’s important to be good at writing clearly, it won’t hurt you

general reminder: Le Corbusier was completely insane en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulor

technically, they should be called The The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907

what is the vibecode.dev for web apps?

do you think when Mike Campbell recorded the solo at the end of Runnin’ Down A Dream he could physically *feel* his body ascending into the 23rd dimension

This is why it’s particularly darkly comic to watch tech guys rail against institutions like academia. When it comes to convincing yourself that your work must be Important To The World because otherwise your personal obsession doesn’t make sense, these guys run laps around the average asst prof.

The biggest sign of how AI has shifted how I engage with technology is that my read-later app queue has shifted from articles I want to read to github repos I want to try

Starting to get preeeeetty intrigued by @ubiquiti.bsky.social

there’s like four separate statements in this one quote that *individually* are among the dumbest things I’ve heard

Ok @dieworkwear.bsky.social I’ve tried friends, I’ve tried clothing websites, I’ve tried Reddit, you’re my only hope: WHAT SHIRT IS ADAM RAY WEARING HERE?! (And where can I get it?)

I am really getting tired of ChatGPT. I just wasted an embarrassing amount of time discovering that GPT5 can't (or won't) maintain context between regular chat mode and deep research mode.

YES. GOOD. RAISE MY TAXES. PLEASE.

if aliens landed and asked me to explain what being on twitter was like, this interaction is what I would show them

Here’s a hot take: kind of like social media in 2008, 2028 will be the first presidential election in which vibe-coding apps will be basically mainstream tech, and whichever campaign figures that out first and best will have a real advantage

lol, I was googling a terminal error and got Gemini SERP to break the fourth wall

man I am like thiiiiiiiiisclose to buying a few old mac minis and making my own little compute farm for local AI tasks

I guess somewhere deep down I know some people feel this way but it’s still jarring to see someone just come out and say “people who are different than me deserve to struggle because that’s the way things should be”

So Chris Rea just passed away (no tragedy, he was up there) but it’s a good excuse to share this song which is generally just a fun bop but Rea’s guitar solo in the middle makes me absolutely levitate (~2:20 if you’re interested) music.apple.com/us/album/if-...

Am I crazy or is this the year "Your Year In _____" interactives jumped the shark? Partly because B2B SaaS companies started doing them (I can't imagine anything I want less than my Salesforce 2025 Unwrapped) but also I think we've possibly reached a critical mass of always-on self-surveillance

I’m not usually a nut about representation but Trader Joe’s not selling Hanukkah candles *while* selling a product called “eight candles” that is *not* Hanukkah candles is just playing in my face

they’re so Facebook they even went out and got their own Nick Clegg

Happy Hanukkah.

Curmudgeon Opinion: replacing “murdered” and “gun” with “unalived” and “pew pew” does not spare anyone’s feelings, it just makes you sound like a four year old

can we please agree that as soon as he starts the new job we need to lock Stephen Lemay in a room and not let him out until Apple parental controls are not an indecipherable mess

love where we're heading here folks

I'm considering switching which of the three major LLMs I pay for, so I asked all three of them what I should do. Gemini recommended Gemini. Claude recommended Claude. ChatGPT...recommended Gemini.

Has anyone noticed a thing where GPT 5.1 will refuse to actually generate an image and just continuously gaslight you into thinking it will as soon as you tell it ONE MORE THING?

I’m sorry but it’s so funny to me that developers refer to various access credentials as secrets, like “ok before we trigger the prod deploy let’s validate that main is green the release tag is cut and that we have hidden all our secrets!” Yall sound like Lord of the Rings characters

America used to make things www.fox5dc.com/news/friends...

I’m in a work slack where for a new project everyone is sharing their github user names and I like to read them in my head like a producer tag

perpetually just a couple hundred million away from greatness

you’re really sending some mixed messages here, trash can

“History doesn't repeat itself, but It does rhyme." - Twain

here’s a thing that exists www.fieggen.com/shoelace/lac...

#alx folks, what’s our go-to for plain old Chinese food-style Chinese food these days?

can god create an uncrustable so uncrustable that he himself cannot crust it

is it possible to have a semiotics-based stroke

is there some technical explanation for why the only two modes a chip card reader has are IF YOU TAKE THAT CARD OUT I WILL LITERALLY DIE and OH GOD THE CARD BURNS GET IT OUT GET IT OUT

ok I think these guys are officially thinking about the Roman Empire too much
