For some reason I thought "vibe coding" meant more than "I copied it but I don't know what it's doing."
But apparently that's all it is.
I guess my mom has been "vibe repairing" her computer all these years, I was just hanging out on the phone for fun.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

The real bummer of opposite day is you can never be sure if it's opposite day, because people always say "Today is not opposite day."

I believe this started earlier than GenZ. It started when "politics" began to mean "who (and what) is considered 'a person'."
Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.
Majority of Gen Z swipe left on dating people with opposite political views

I was showing a short film at Comic Con in 2004 and I didn't realize the "talent holding area" wasn't for first-time short film directors, so I just walked in.
I realized my mistake when Ryan Reynolds sat down across from me.
