The most important thing I learned in my 20s is that being smart doesn't make you special. Eventually you need to learn to try hard and to enjoy learning to do things you're not immediately good at. It turns out that the people who didn't learn this lesson were reading Harry Potter fanfic.

This is probably the right policy to adopt if you want to create great projects/products. The idea that you can let your codebase become a big ball of spaghetti and have coding agents bail you out is a helluva gamble. You can move much faster now while still maintaining quality and understanding.

with times being what they are, it seems like you basically can't have a public open source repo without receiving LLM-written PRs. thus, after a great deal of thought, i have adopted the somewhat idiosyncratic Mycelium AI Policy in my personal projects: github.com/hawkw/myceli...

we need a real plan to stop racists. asking people to fix their hearts isn't going to work without pressure. one thing i'm a fan of is making the targets of bullies and bigots harder to mess with. don't let people just say shit about muslims or trans people or migrants. don't nod to avoid conflict

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

Reddit post from someone saying that they had 40 paying users for their vibecoded app. They gave Opus access to the database to fix a bug and it deleted all users. People are now asking for refunds.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

This is half the point of Ursula K Le Guin’s The Dispossessed! Being a leftist or even living in a utopian society doesn’t free you from the everyday pettiness and social conflict that come with just being a human being who exists around other human beings, especially when ambition is involved.

Vibe coding broke people's brains because they had a bad understanding of the software design process. The pop culture model goes something like this: start out with a sketch and then render that same idea in progressively finer detail. So when tools could "skip" to high detail, people went WOW.

My books cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com

Panel 1:
A cartoon worm appears out of a book, shocking the reader and saying
"Greetings, booklover! I'm Wormy! Your virtual Reading companion!"

Panel 2:
Wormy continues "This is an enhanced Book! There's so much more to it than boring old words!"
The reader says "I like the words."

Panel 3:
Wormy "Of course! I've promoted you to 'bibliophile' and added you to the 'hi-brow lit chat' group. You have 33 welcome messages!"
Reader "I just want to read!"

Panel 4:
Wormy "Ok! I've set your status to 'monk-ish devotion?. You have earned 85 commitment stars and are now in the silver league!"
Reader "Umm... How do I get into the gold league?"

Panel 5:
Caption "And so..."

Wormy is saying "Congratulations! You won a (top networker' Trophy and 165 Community coins! Do you want to purchase membership of the 'diamond league Private library?"
The reader has put the book aside and shouts excitedly "Yes! Yes!!"
