I gotta confess, I vibe codet a Kirigami-based application and I liked it. I am a anti AI person, and cannot wait for the bubble to burst. Yet I see it can empower people that do not know a tech stack, and get good enough results out of it. However i also see, it makes you lazy (and frustrates as soon as it gets somewhat complicated). It seems it is being adopted everywhere. This is scary... if it becomes necessary, will you be able to find a job where they don't require you to use AI?

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Applied to an L5 software engineering role via e-mail and without any other contact I received back a bunch of questions that clearly look like they're aimed at L6 or even L7. Not sure what to do with that so I withdrew. Briefly considered answering them but was weirded out.

Sharing a great read today: stevehanov.ca/…/how-i-run-multiple-…a-20month-tech-stackSteve Hanov's BlogHow I run multiple $10K MRR companies on a $20/month tech stack Some of the takes are on the extreme end, but like most IT decisions, you can dial the pain to exactly what you want. ^C

Economist Lant Pritchett describes shifts in ideas as silly, controversial, progressive, then obvious. Also: "Radio has no future. X-rays are clearly a hoax. The aeroplane is scientifically impossible." - Lord Kelvin ". No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame." - CmdrTaco

Maurizio Lombardi is my only reason now. I have to move forward
