I know I made a joke earlier but this is seriously concerning.
I am not convinced it's ai, I think it's just accelerating this trend. The enshitification has been marching forward for years now and I hate it
I know the rage is all about how you should do no typing, you should only use AI, and only luddites say anything different, but I urge you to practice programming and becoming an expert
It is worth it

Even if you don't indulge in activist OSS PRs, good reminder to spend 2 extra seconds logging in with email/pw & a good password manager. GitHub SSO is not your identity. Also, set up that NAS already and turn on Time Machine. Future you will thank you youtu.be/7gCCXCSs734?si=MY0Q…

Today’s my first day at #AWS. I noticed the config repo had some redundant settings. Force pushed a cleaner version as the first patch. Should be live everywhere by now. Going to step out for a quick walk

(Re)writing Firecode with Claude Code has taught me this - shipping fast with AI needs tremendous discipline.
If you don’t stay organized, you’ll end up shipping vibecoded AI slop.
Plan cleanly, sequence tasks, and keep docs and code in sync as you build.
Use multiple models to review each PR.
Parallelize projects, not tickets.
Keeping one project’s context fresh across 10 parallel agents is impossible, but running 10 independent projects in parallel with clean context hygiene actually works.
Operate right on the edge of vibecoding without going over. That’s where real velocity lives.
