Is there a vaccine I can take that will give me autism? I don’t want to pay taxes.

Between Black Mirror, Last of Us, Handmaids & wheel of time, I feel pretty rich with TV watching content right now 😍

I think they named it Cursor because after your vibe code generated slop gets written, you start cursing your entire way through trying to fix the issues it created

I’m having the toughest time picking a desktop framework to use for a trading app I want to build. I want it to be cross platform (mobile, web too), performant, and have access to great graphing libs. The best ones I’ve found are on .NET, but I’m looking at rust too. Anyone have recommendations?

If you were ever wondering what stock market manipulation looks like, look at what just happened with Trump’s recent pause on tariff announcement and look at the price of the stock market before and after.

Well the market just flew upwards because Trump just announced a 90 day pause on tariffs for all countries besides China. This might end up being a man made “v shape recovery”. I wonder how many of his billionaire buddies knew he was going to do this.

Anyway with these AI coding experiments I’ve been doing, it’s good to know my skepticism isn’t simply just being old and cranky for the sake of being old and cranky: my instincts (that they’re being oversold by people who have incentives to do so) is still correct

We still have a lot of room to fall in the stock market and we have no signs that we won’t continue going down for the foreseeable future. (Nothing has changed). Prepare accordingly. I won’t be selling, but I won’t be buying yet either.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Can a president be impeached for making the stock market crash?

Good point.

Last night it dropped hard again. Is this the only president that actively tries to ruin the stock market?

lol! Every PM is guilty of this

Ferris Bueller’s on tariffs. 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuOH...

Converting my 401K into cartons of cigarettes for barter before the market opens tomorrow.

What’s your 401k going to look like after Trump’s Liberation Day announcement at 4pm today? 👀

AI grift + Crypto grift… What could possibly go wrong??

Today, we are being liberated from the burden of economic prosperity and growth! Happy Liberation Day! (Remember: we have always been allies with Eurasia… George Orwell)

Tariffs in iMessage

“When you can’t state your innocence, reclaim your ignorance” - feels like the theme of modern society.

Trump is calling April 2nd “liberation day”, the day tariffs start. He is literally mad. Someone hide the nuclear codes!

There is no point trying to scale programming with agents if you can’t get one chatbot to do what you want it to do. I use LLMs to code and they are constantly screwing up and require intervention. Autonomous “vibe coding” makes this 10x worse.

This sounds like a solid plan

Tulips are “too big to fail”?

More than one IT guy vibe coding their agent mob should be running applications with dangerous consequences

69% of Republicans think colleges have a negative impact on society and 66% of them feel that way about K-12 public schools. This explains so much. Millions of people who hate education and the educated.

The real truth behind the AI hype right now 🤣

I don’t need to pay for bad code, I can write my own bad code!

Words to live by. It might not even be worth making pretty!

My electric bill went up 37% this month since last year. This is because Michigan purchases much of its power from Canada. Now I have door to door salesman pushing solar panels because they think their product is finally affordable considering the alternative. Thanks Trump.

lol, the solution to all problems

Democracy is done if we let these people kill it open.substack.com/pub/shanealm...

“the future of cars”

lol, I wish coffee was better at conferences…

The AI marketing message is relentless.

Shh! 🤣

I would invest in this startup

Asking two very technical questions in a row without waiting for an answer back risks one of them not getting answered at all. 😅

This is such a good take on the current state of LLMs and the industry. “At some point there might be massive layoffs due to ostensibly competent AI labor coming onto the scene, perhaps because OpenAI will start heavily propagandizing that these mass layoffs must happen. It will be a mistake…”

I’m calling it right now. Vibe coding is as ridiculous as it sounds.

TIL that whales can put half of their brain to sleep and can “sleep with one eye open”. It’s called unihemispheric sleep. I wish my brain had this feature! 😉

Don’t waste time looking at the time all of the time

What a shame that I can’t read the rest of this spam message! Tell me more 😁

How could we be so ungrateful?
