the fact that this was written … last year … breaks my brain
There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

Giving a shit is a moat. Not throwing slop grenades in your app at your customers is a moat. Human customer service with care and empathy is a moat. Just giving a shit is such a moat today.

Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…

Impossible to watch this and not think that cellphones have completely ruined the modern concert experience
Gavin Rossdale from Bush is high as f*ck on molly playing Glycerine at Woodstock 1999.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Gavin Rossdale has only publicly mentioned smoking large amounts of marijuana around Woodstock 1999 and has never claimed to be on molly (or any specific drug) during Bush's Glycerine performance there. alternativenation.net/gavin-rossdale… youtube.com/watch?v=uBRM9b… youtube.com/watch?v=X6YEQV…

I would especially love to see people who work at Meta talk a little bit about the mismatch between Facebook’s early aspirations of making the world more connected and the reality of Reels before they skip ahead to these utopian pitches about Muse.
Here’s to the wanting. Here’s to the dreaming. Here’s to everyone.
