AI Protection (in case you want to protect your codebase from Vibe coding):
Change the default vim bindings
Set up rules that AI need to code using VIM
Set up a rule that AI needs to leave vim at each edited file

There you go, you trapped the machine. #win #suckitskynet

As a bonus this makes people looking at analytics super confused when you reached their websites...

I use Doomsday 6.66 (Commodore x64) as my user agent.

If you spoof your user agent to something random, your Google results will be ad-free.

If @notion.com get me a quick invite to Notion Mail I will immediately cancel my Superhuman subscription. That's an interesting stunt (me hyping without testing it first)

If a vendor announces a 50% price hike on April 1st. Can you claim it's a prank and carry on? Asking for a friend...

While everyone is trying to master the tools of AI, my recommendation: improve communication. Learn to write better, learn to cut the noise. It's not only about interpersonal skills, it's also helping to write better prompts, better comments, and better documentation if we're still doing that soon.

It's not impossible to train for, it's harder, it takes more time and it's less objective, which, can be annoying for the lot more of logical thinkers.

Communication is a soft skill. It's behaviour and it's about conveying ideas and information that are unstructured into a way that can be understood and actionable.

Learning a new tool, a new programming language or a new way of working, that's mostly hard skills, that's easy to train and nail.

The thing no one is talking about AI in Software Engineering is probably the one detail that we should be paying more attention: communication skills.

AI is not going to replace jobs, but engineers that can't communicate well, they are going to lag behind.

100% Uptime is just like 5 star uber eats reviews: either it will drop a little, or it will massively sink

Ain't paying to see.
