I feel like I finally get to feel the designer’s pain when people arrive with their vibe-coded pile of garbage and I have to explain why it can’t just slide into the product.

It does something and it’s what the business wants. So what’s my problem?

I particularly love when the “CTO” is also the main offender.

No. The means can spoil the end.

Dehomag.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

I often hear comparisons to Web 1.0 (the bubble aspect, potential for change, etc).

As someone who lived and worked during that era, I don’t remember thinking “holy shit, if this ever gets released on the world at scale we’ll have serious problems”.

Maybe that was a lack of imagination and not thinking through what would actually happen to brick and mortar, the job market and so on. But it feels like this time is different. Or I’m just that much older.

This is a big piece of what drove me out of corp jobs.

With a sufficient hourly rate people are less likely to have you waste time in meetings.

Or maybe I’ve just been lucky. Prob doesn’t work everywhere.

Nah, it's the best. A recent thread on this convinced me to try Doom Emacs. It's great and just doubled my nerd factor.
