Reposted by @vampirecoffee.bsky.socialJessica Cogswell 🌸 @jessicogs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Exactly. I am tired of seeing the “I always knew”/“their work was actually bad” takes whenever allegations emerge. Sometimes—often, actually!—bad people find their way into good spaces and make good things.

vampirecoffee.bsky.social @vampirecoffee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Quite frankly, if I’d known that the average person who “loves coding” had so much contempt for their work that they were happy turning in mediocre computer-generated code, I’d have suffered through a mechE degree instead of going into CS. 040
vampirecoffee.bsky.social @vampirecoffee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I enjoy writing code! “The computer can write your code for you” is about as appealing to me as “The computer can pet your cat for you”. What’s next, a computer that drinks my beer and watches the sunset so I can spend more time on design docs??? 120
vampirecoffee.bsky.social @vampirecoffee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026More money can get you features like: - better handfeel (shape, size, and material of the handle/nib holder) - better balance - more ink capacity - more visual appeal but those are all nice-to-haves. The ink flow is the *really* important part, and that can be Pretty Good for $30 120
vampirecoffee.bsky.social @vampirecoffee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Oh they *improve* as the price goes up, but the bar for “it works well enough that it doesn’t get in my way” is pretty low. I’d guesstimate that a minimum viable pen - smooth flow without unintended drips - would cost $15-$20 (based on costs of other medium-precision glass stuff) 120

vampirecoffee.bsky.social @vampirecoffee.bsky.social · 28/09/2026When I played XCOM I only took a shot at 75% chance or greater and wrote down whether it hit or missed. Over the course of the campaign, I missed more than half my shots. lol 2100
