Apologies if this is wrong, but I think I’m on point: Princess Leia was a slutty princess, right? If you can be Princess Leia, you’re probably killing it.

They’ll come for the rest of us.

Go go go!

Torvalds’s first publicly released chatbot code was in January this year, when he vibe-coded a project in Python because he didn’t know enough Python. The programming language kids learn in high school. The guy who runs the kernel couldn’t get his head around Python.

I’m pissed at the AI companies for all kinds of things like hiking computer parts prices and the impending destruction of the economy when the lies hype dies. But this is a weak ass argument.

The guy who created the Linux kernel and git can absolutely get his head around Python. He’s just allocating his time and energy toward kernel development rather than learning Python and rightly so. Besides, maybe he just hates the language. I know I do, but I started with Perl, so that shaped the way I like to work.

Don’t worry. They’ll take the woke sissy hygiene to the gun range and shoot it.

What’d someone do, advocate for free healthcare?

I can’t remember the circumstances, but I was so flabbergasted by one user’s inability to understand anything that I wanted to tell them, “I’m sorry. You’re unemployable.”

That’s pretty solid logic. I like it.

There’s no way this is a tyrant using government agencies to persecute his enemies. That could neeeeeevvvvver happen here. That’s why we’re Great Again™️.

He’s so stupid it’s astounding.

I used to schedule all these reminders for things I intended to do. They just made me irritated and feel bad as I kept delaying / rescheduling them. I don’t do that anymore, for the most part. I’ve stopped keeping track of the things I won’t do. If I think of it, I might take care of it. This only works because I’m now in a relationship with someone who makes sure I do the things that matter most.

What’s the third track? A free Palestine? “Let’s be mad for people calling us out for not demanding more when children are murdered at industrial scale.” That’s how you sound.

Sometimes you have to give your friends a helpful push.

As many free alternatives as there were before the rampant vibecoding, it seems that this growing collection of tools is not only functional, but a message to the large companies as well. Most of these apps are still far from what they intend to replace, however, so we’ll have to see how deep this message cuts.

Blood in the water for Adobe. Acrobat is a steaming pile of garbage. My org worked with their engineering team to track down a bug that we reported. They affirmed the bug (app hangs on launch) and then took four to five months fixing it.

I’ve worked in software engineering. I know that debugging, patching, testing, verifying is difficult. But the enterprise license costs a lot and that was a very long time with a crippling bug. The only satisfactory answer (to me) is that they don’t feel urgency because they are entrenched without real competition. They need to wake up.

(No, I don’t think vibe-coded Acrobat replacements will unseat them. I think LLM-powered real devs will come for them because the moat is smaller.)

Incapable. Completely, utterly, unable to understand.

Yep. Pretty much.

Alabama Man!

“When his wife asks him where he’s been, just use the action button and bust her lip open.”

Another franchise, but also relevant.

I’m so proud that we’re led by a cool guy who doesn’t give a fuck about us. Yay California.

State workers are about to strike in a couple of weeks. Even cooler.

If you’re a Candice Owens slob, whatever. No teacher should bang students, but this one is called out by a conspiracy nutjob. Scrutinize but don’t listen to her.
