Trying desperately not to isolate myself from the rest of humanity in the Portuguese mountains until I die alone my corpse undiscovered for a decade. I also enjoy photography.
Why did we choose to call it “vibe coding” and not “engineering management simulation”?

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.
I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink.
But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

I’m really failing to understand the hype around vibe coding / LLM assisted coding. I asked Gemini to help me identify the cause of a bug I’d encountered and it just hallucinated a line of code to point to as the cause.

Tried to use my @logitech.bsky.social Spotlight for the first time in years. It was a brick. But I can confirm these instructions work—just a quick jump, and it was working!

I’ve used a lot of different kinds of keyboards, and I can objectively state that French keyboards are cursed, and I want nothing to do with them.
