I'm starting to really like 'vibe coding'...

I've now had several clients come to me to take over projects that another agency was working on because the other agency started using generative AI. Apparently there was a real drop in product quality. I wonder why.

Basically vibe coding is making me money specifically because I'm not using it.

Have fun! I hope you find the date you are looking for.

Thought about linking to one of the few well regarded tech execs writing halfbaked bullshit with a tag along the lines of “This is halfbaked bullshit.” But then I remember that he searches social media for links to his site and mentions of his name and tries to argue with people, and he gets all offended when I reply that I’d rather not, if I’d wanted to debate him I’d have mentioned him directly

"I was given this game for free to review on my Twitch or Youtube, and I feel like someone owes me money even though I didn't pay for it. Early Access or not, a game should include, at the bare minimum, gameplay."

"I've worked in a warehouse for over a year, and I've been driving semi's for a year and a half now -- I didn't think it could be made any less fun. :-)"
