The duality of every vibe-coded project you see and every LLM-generated pull request you review being dangerous insecure messes and then turning around and hearing every respected figure in the web dev community saying these tools are now better than human developers

AI agents are gonna take over the world! Look at what they’re doing on the AI agent social network! (That was so poorly written it allowed anyone to do anything as anyone on the site until an engineer with actual skills helped lock it down.)

I keep reading posts about people who wrote applications entirely with "zero coding." They say they don't read the code and instead refine the application using increasingly precise prompts. I have some questions:

* Is the application nontrivial?

I'm sorry, but Americans' obsession with fireworks is stupid. Professionally done fireworks where the community gathers is a fine tradition, but fireworks should not be available in stores to set off in your backyard and disturb the neighborhood and traumatize dogs and wildlife.

You can't be a leftist and defend gen-AI. Because it requires saying that the product is more important than people who make it, and if people don't come first, you're not a leftist. Gen-AI doesn't free a person from a menial assembly line job. It makes an artist unable to pursue their passion.

It’s a gorgeous book.
Step 1) Spend over two years helping a friend make a book
Step 2) Drink two bottles of wine and talk about it
Step 3) ????
Step 4) Sell you the book at goodfight.co

Dude was the biggest small dog I’ve ever met. He was the absolute best.
We had to let Pancho go yesterday. The king of every jungle, beach, mountain, field, room, and park he ever set foot in. What a life.

This winter, I flew to Sweden in January to make a documentary about one of my closest friends Markus and his art. I'm so proud of the work we made.

Today, we're releasing his debut monograph with @goodfight.co called A Surrender. You can pick up a copy today! Please share and repost.

Lilith would like everyone to know this is her stick. Out of all the sticks on today’s hike, this was the best one.

Lilith would like everyone to know @torchystacos.bsky.social is great. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the unlimited chip supply she takes advantage of.
