I might just be getting old, but that post is mainly code and images so using AI to write the very limited amount of text just screams lazy to me. Makes you wonder if they are as lazy in the rest of their products.

This week I wrote about my experiences with technical and architectural debt. When I was a developer we used to distinguish between code debt (temporary hacks) and architectural debt (structural decisions that bite you later). But in enterp

Except we all know that that vibe coded POC will never be rewritten and if it's a market fit will be pushed to production by management.

How hard would it be to add a GUI to this? I don't think I've seen a lot of GO Gui implementations in the past

I've read so many posts that say: Just write because you like to write, do it cause it's fun. To me that's only part of the truth. I write because I like it sure, but it's also very unmotivating to just "scream in t
