More fun with vibe coding. A ridiculously long, multi-file response for what should have been a five-line change in code. It’s hard to believe it’s not doing this in purpose. But on the other hand I could see it trying to be overly helpful. I still have a better context window.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Really kinda interesting to see Apple use the registration mark in its headline for the F1 deal. Damned near unprecedented, if not the first time.

Is there a German word for the smell in your Florida gym after the air-conditioning was off all night? Bonus if there’s a word for the level of stickiness.

Vibe-coding is not a crime
Everybody needs a hobby. In the summer of 2025 I decided I’d finally dip my toes into all this “AI” stuff.

More fun with vibe coding. Took the precipitation scraper from my email weatherbot project and am using it to trigger skips for my sprinkler system instead of the built-in setting, which was turning my grass brown while also trying to upsell me.
