There was a time I would have agreed with this statement, but now that I’ve “seen how the sausage is made”, I believe it’s a fantasy. Look at rowhammer: a completely novel exploit that was off the collective radar And then, look at the soft

You missed the core of what I was saying: not vibe code a whole thing end to end (I agree, not sustainable), embrace the idea of having devs build the storage, parsers, schema, and security and let everyone vibe code the rest. Like, let’s u

I like this article more than I like Immich. It’s well structured, helpful, and kind (not that Immich isn’t those things). I feel like Futo is going in the wrong direction. In the age of AI, anyone can write a DB query, anyone can design a

It also seems that YouTube is steering the ship: they could simply push content that’s straightforward and non-clickbait (and in fact: downgrade clickbait), but as Geoff says the clickbait got 2x the traffic. That’s not “the same amount of
