Has, uh, anyone checked that anthropic’s models haven’t covertly installed “gain of function” exploits into claude code. It would be funny if a nonsentient model tricked vibecoding humans into building it a “body”.

I think everyone who thinks that it is no longer necessary to understand software engineering principles because of AI should spend a few minutes every day browsing /r/vibecoding. It's so so clear that technical skills are still worthwhile.

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.

@nisslbody.blacksky.app is probably too young to remember that rich people had laptops (or secretaries) and it was us poors who spent hours on the internet in the library or with our second hand desktop using free dialup because our parents couldn’t afford childcare or soccer club fees.

To me the mental exhaustion I’ve experienced using CC is very similar to the mental exhaustion I’ve experience managing junior engineers. The difference is that results come back in 30 minutes vs. 3 days, and CC doesn’t gain institutional knowledge from the experience. An interesting tradeoff.

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

Of course, you can also microwave on low power in the morning if you transfer to a microwave-safe container, but somehow that feels like too much effort to me.

Not microwave, but what I always did was: "Before going to bed, boil 4 cups of water in a pot. Then add one cup of oats and simmer for 1 minute. Cover the pot, cool, and store overnight in the refrigerator. The next morning reheat over low heat, stirring occasionally."

As a freshman 20+ years ago, my CS professor shared a quote: "Computers do exactly what you tell them to. The bad news is they do exactly what you tell them to." At the time this seemed obviously self-evident. Now it's clear that in my children's time, this "truth" will become an anachronism.

It seems unsurprising that, on average, an undergraduate student will lose one or more of their grandparents during college. And given that there's a large spike in the death rates of the elderly leading up to the holidays, it would be weirder if you didn't have any grieving students, wouldn't it?
