Like if you're going to fire all your good journalists in the pursuit of engagement metrics at least be good at viral entertainment?
But they're not good at that either.
They're not good at journalism, they're not good at agitprop, and they're not good at entertainment.
they're just losers

My theory of the case is that the headaches look to others like a permanent debuff when in truth they’re more of a tactical feint.

messy, unknowable code is bad, but this kind of behavior, where someone forces AI onto someone else without their consent, is unforgiveable. i really want to like LLMs (the technology) but i can’t because LLMs (the culture) violate nearly every one of my strongly held beliefs
Somewhere along the line **someone** has to do the uncomfortable work of understanding what the hell is going on with the code and project (and keeping that understanding current in the face of ongoing changes to the project)
Vibe coding is trading that understanding for short-term gains

So what will they do? They will blindly feed your review comments straight to their agentic coding model because that's the only thing they know how to do.
By doing so the vibe coder has put the maintainer in the weird position where the maintainer is doing agentic coding through a shitty UX

Genuinely why is the SF yimby movement like this. In every other city they're somewhere between normal Democrats and socialists, in SF they're the second coming of Grover Norquist. And they're somehow the highest salience!

my sins aren’t even new. calling them “original” is giving me too much credit, tbh
I've had a few benzos and I'm ready to just come out and say it: "Original Sin" is the absolute worst religious concept that humanity ever invented
And that's a competitive category

Before I came out one of the things holding me back was thinking I needed to know exactly what transness was/why ppl were trans, and it took a couple hrs before I was able to shrug and say "look, I know some ppl are trans, I know I'm one of them, why trans ppl exist is above my pay grade."

Like, fuck. Even cis men aren’t trying to be men anymore. The four genders are boy, girl, woman, and miscellaneous shit I don’t really get but I understand I’m not in a position to judge anyone for gender nonconformity so walk with God.

”boyfriend twins” is an amazing/correct description, which will now be lodged in my brain forever
I also think we've overcorrected to the point where depictions of gay men on TV need to be, you know, jockish boyfriend twins, ignoring that a lot of gay men in the real world are feminine or desire more feminine men.
