Reposted by FerdLaurieWired @lauriewired.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I’m convinced that a large % of programmers don’t actually like computers. As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their reasoning to a model as soon as they can. I don’t get it, at ALL. 4150250

We're bigging up vibe coding by measuring it against 21st century webdev hackers who absolutely cannot code for shit. 2131
Ferd @blotz.dev · 25/05/2026you can't really compare this to what a senior engineer would build. How do you know this is the best solution. Do you know whether a real engineer would need 100k LoC to remake this? Stop larping as a software engineer, then telling me my job is at threat. 000

Ferd @blotz.dev · 29/04/2026how does at protocol even work for someone like @tangled.org. so you selfhost a "knot" and that you can push code there. then you can view other people's code on that same instance via at protocol? 011
