Solid take and where I'm at. If LLMs vanished overnight I would happily go back to vim and building like I used to. It's not going to. We also need to stop conflating vibe coding with principled LLM assisted development. They are not the same.

My take yesterday was intentionally inflammatory, so here’s another version: AI isn’t inevitable. It’s here, pervasive, & not leaving (much like the internet). We need to adapt & chart a new course, learning how to best use it for good, not evil. Many can refuse/disengage, many can’t & shouldn’t.

All the domains I'm not letting expire are now moved to Cloudflare. Bye namecheap thanks for the last 20 years of great service, but you just aren't what you used to be.

Nas is finally in a chassis next step is I figured out that everything can go below 15u which means if I put a shelf in my 3d printer can live on the rack saving more space

Flashing your headlights to say thank you has to be one of the dumbest things ever conceived. "Thank you, and as a token of my gratitude have some temporary blindness from my high beams right in your face"

I didn’t realize namecheap got bought by PE. That does explain the price increases recently. Guess it’s time to start looking elsewhere. I’ve been using them since 2007 when I switched from Godaddy 😭 Anyone got any recommendations?

UK government would rather enact more taxes on the most vulnerable populations with their new “YouTube tax” to extend the TV license instead of legalising and heavily taxing marijuana. I think I read something about increasing income tax too… what did Starbucks pay in tax last year?

porting spaceships.treybastian.com to apple devices mostly because my kids want to play it on the iPad, but also because I was curious how LLMs would do at porting. It's nailed it, Will write about it later need Brayer to get through review process before I think about releasing something else 😅

I left X because I didn't want to be involved with a platform that spreads hate, misinformation and glorifies abuse. I had about 5x the followers I have here, but I have more meaningful interactions here.

I left X *because* I had a large following. People told me I was the reason they were staying on there, and I didn’t want to be responsible for 100k+ people sticking around for abuse, CSAM, and Nazis. Simple as that

Her Apollo software was built to expect the unexpected, and on Apollo 11 it recognized an overload mid-landing and kept the critical tasks running. Every postmortem, every bug tracker, every “let’s make sure this never happens again” carries a little of her in it. Thank you Margaret Hamilton. 🚀

Let's talk a little more about Margaret Hamilton because she deserves it In 1961, Margaret Hamilton was tackling massive systems, having previously wrangled room-sized computers that blared like a foghorn whenever they crashed.

I've definitely not seen any physical world slop yet like this. I wonder if that's because I live in a pretty small rural town.

A friend was mentioning ai slop small business ads and was like "and they're on sandwich boards, like this one" as just an example of a sandwich board And ofc it's slop 😭😭

waiting on my first app to be approved to be tested on test flight If no one else is going to make the world better in regards to privacy focused, pay once, no ads no tracking and native apps then I may as well

The better LLMs get, the less forgiving I seem to be getting for electron or non-native desktop and mobile apps.

I'm pretty sure I'm the definition of the target audience for Stuart fails to save the universe. It's just so absurdly weird that I kind love it.

Wow I started going through and over half of the few people I do follow haven't been active since 2024. I forgot some of them existed and kinda miss the interactions I had with some of them. Quite a few are back on Twitter it seems 😢

All you PDS self-hosters who use pds gatekeeper or something similar to get 2fa. Do you find that sometimes when you focus the confirmation code input that it just vanishes for no reason like most of the time now? I feel like this is a new issue in the last few weeks.
