This definitely seems true to me, from my limited short content usage. I try to avoid getting sucked into the feed (Youtube Shorts is the one I have used), but if I do find myself scrolling through the morass of clips from Shark Tank or Fam

The — character is the biggest cause of suspicion. It's difficult to type manually so most people - myself included - substitute the easily typed hyphen. I know real people do sometimes use it, but it's a smell.

It definitely bears all the LLM hallmarks we've come to know. emdash, the "this isn't X. it's Y" structure - and then, to cap it off, a single pithy sentence to end it.

https://epiccoleman.com Not all that interesting, it has been some time since I added anything. But it's a hand-rolled personal site, which must count for something!

thanks for sharing, that's an interesting perspective actually. It's easy for us "pro devs" to kind of ignore platforms like Replit as "training wheels." I look at it and think "why would I use that, I hav

This is such a common annoyance on the modern internet. I've recently been playing Minecraft with my kids, with a few mods, and I've been irritated to discover that - unlike when I'd mess around with mods a decade ago - lots

Yeah, I think this is a sort of similar issue to the kind of thing I describe above, where parents of a certain generation / certain technical background might not be fully aware of the sorts of harm that can come in through technologi

Do you have kids? I'm guessing you don't, because the answer is pretty obvious to those of us who do - the vast majority of parents seem to give not one single fuck about what their kids do with technology. I've known familie

I identify with so much of what's in this article - especially the rage that has the author giving serious, coldblooded thought to just destroying the Switch. The Minecraft stuff in particular reads like some kind of standup comedy bit

Cool idea. Reminds me of my alias "whodis" which just lsofs a port to find out the pid who's got it open, but way more functional.

Thanks for checking them out! I give myself many small moments of joy with my millenial-ass sarcasm in my docs. Feel free to email me at the address in my bio if you run into any issues.

This is at least a little bit true for me. Examples: https://github.com/epiccoleman/scrapio https://github.com/epiccoleman/tuber These are both projects which have repeatedly given me a lot of val

Whoa, now that sounds like the use case I've been looking for since I jailbroke mine. I have calibre set up to just email books to my Kindle, but that's an extra layer of indirection that I really don't need. I'll have t

I think Claude Code is the moat (though I definitely recognize it's a pretty shallow moat). I don't want to switch to Codex or whatever the Gemini CLI is, I like Claude Code and I've gotten used to how it works. Again, I kn

Without having followed the issue of "AI Ethics" that closely, Anthropic seems to me to be relatively non-evil, too.

Man, I had never even put words to that problem but you are right that it is beyond annoying. It seems to me like it worsens the longer the Claude instance has run - I don't seem to see it early in the session.

My biggest pet peeve with the phrase "vibe coding" is that no one (including OP, apparently, sorry OP) seems to be aware of where the phrase came from . This tweet from Andrej Karpathy[1] coined the term and provides a good def

I wouldn't say I follow them as guides, but I think the field is changing quickly enough that it's good, or at least interesting, to read what's working well for other people.

I really want Anthropic to let me make an API token that pulls from the same pool of usage that my Pro subscription does with the official clients. It would be cool to be able to run experiments with alternate clients and automation and stu
