makes me all the more grateful for bluesky (or perhaps atproto) having custom feeds, I rarely go beyond my following feed and it is SO nice to not feel the constant downward pull

"Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences." holyyy fuck they could not sound more comically evil if they tried

Why I Don’t Vibe Code A “brief” accounting of various reasons why vibe coding has just never clicked for me personally as a developer.

Hey all, I decided to write up some of my thoughts in more detail about why I don't vibe code, in case it's interesting to any of you

I am in an abusive relationship with the technology industry Some things I'm struggling with in the technology industry, an appreciation for folk music, and some other thoughts.

I wrote about some things I'm struggling with in the technology industry, preceded by an appreciation for folk music.

someone pay me a living wage to look at pretty type foundry websites all day

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

I keep seeing posts about ai models like "actually they're good at this thing now!"

but once you understand that ai tools are being built by fascists in service of attacks on humanity, whether or not they can generate useable code or do basic searches kind of stops being the main question

As I was writing all this, we did it. ONE MILLION WHISTLES (plus 9000 for good measure) shipped and into the hands of regular people who will distribute them in their communities to keep their neighbors safe. You could do that too. Just send a request to the email at the top of whistlegoblins.fun

I'll probably write about AI once I get my personal site up (Soon™). But yeah at this point, if I come across a youtube video with somebody promoting it I just click off

Their new homepage is really good! Go buy one of their courses!

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Everything you never wanted to know about visually-hidden The one where I attempt to answer a question

SO many design youtubers recommend using AI in their videos. the videos that are meant to teach beginner to intermediate design students. many of which are entirely self-taught.

“I asked chatgpt” well i asked your wife. She’s leaving you, Steve; for being such a massive loser

mcps this and agents that

it's all the same slop being morged continvoucly

yay!

I wish it wasn't limited to apple since I don't own anything of theirs. I love RSS in concept but I never keep with any reader for more than a few days

How ironic that my album of the day for February 14 was Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. I wish I could say that it was on purpose, but alas

make bad art
it's where you start
and sometimes where you end
do some shit
and publish it
or show it to a friend
make bad stuff!
it's good enough
and never ever stop
if someone tries
to criticize
say "what are you, a cop?"

haha I just noticed I typed "for of" instead of "more of" :P

Today's album is Sluttony's debut Hazel and I'm really liking it so far. They've got 6,000 listeners on last.fm so go give em a listen

I found him! he's @PianoDoctor on youtube, it's actually just over $10k before business expenses and about $7k after

there's a piano tech on youtube that did a breakdown of how much money he earned that month and it came out to something just shy of $10k. he had like 3 appointments a day but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I genuinely think this is the kind of shit we need for of in the world and especially in tech. I, for one, would love to live in a world where tech gets shipped when the people building it are happy with the quality and care they've put into it and themselves

“You can’t ignore LLMs are good at code” sure but also Microsoft broke notepad this week.
