There's a super-viral post going around on here with replies and quotes disabled that is just a rip-off of someone else's image from more than a decade ago. See old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinte... for what *might* be the original source but it's hard to say.

How is it that some people in the US just lose their shit entirely just by being exposed to a "foreign" language? Weird sheltered lives.

FFS. I live in London. Firmly in the anglosphere. I hear a lot of different languages every single day.

In this quickstart, you learn how to get started with creating publicly accessible ports for local services with dev tunnels. After you complete these steps, you have a dev tunnel that you can use to ...

Yup this is what drives me crazy in vibe coded PR.

I'm used to trying to provide feedback to help contributors, especially beginners, in the long term, but when it turns out it's just a coding agent interface in a disguise and not a human learning from mistakes... it's difficult to stay motivated.
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

Every fucking time I teach while Trump is in office I have to change some of my questions because the thing that is so beyond the pale that it would never happen just...happens in broad daylight, and then I have to teach about it, and then I have to figure out something that they HAVEN'T done yet.

Apps that get DNS verification functionality wrong really cause a lot of pain for their users.

Having explained the problem a number of times, I finally decided to write it down so now I can just share a link.
Stop Telling Users Their DNS Is Wrong
If you’re like me, you’ve had the experience where you add a DNS record for a service. You triple check it. The app still says it’s invalid. You wait. You check again. Still invalid. You start wonderi...

Russia’s full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst. Russia launches missiles and drones at energy infrastructure to force Ukrainians to endure the freezing cold. Here's how you can help

I am a Ukrainian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. I have a question.

Why has Trump's year of negotiations been the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion? The number of deaths and injuries has increased by 31 percent compared to the previous year.
