Several times I thought “Wasn’t Carney liberal?” when looking at the choices Canada has made this year.

You just go through your receipt archive and pick through 20 years of receipts.

They are good at tattooing bar-codes on people…

Find a way to borrow against or short your technical debt and buy a small country.

Sounds exactly like my experience with Vibe Coding.

Recently I roo-coded a node.js MVP without knowing too much about Node, but something about JS/CSS/HTML although it’s years ago I last used it.

I got something working decently by:

• Make a project plan and use cases
• Take (very) small steps
• Commit often
• Throw away bad attempts
• Make test cases
• Hand edit from time to time, especially CSS stuff.

Would I have been able to fling something together by reading some node.js guides and using stack overflow yes, would it have taken around the same time yes, but without test cases and documentation. Do I think vibe coding is the best thing since sliced bread no!

I think Sam work-shopped this with Chat GPT.

But wasn’t the other guy worse?

What happened to elbows up?

Google really loves to change logos/icons of their stuff.

Oral hygiene is important, even for mice?!

I mostly use git from the console.

• git with a bunch of aliases for common operations and making the log pretty.
• gitk when I need a UI to browse the history
• kdiff3 as mergetool

I did some maths:

• Without boosted gain 95%/78h ~ 1.21 %/h
• With boosted gain 93%/63h ~ 1.48 %/h

Difference: Gain drains ~22% faster

I like this one

I listen to stuff from the early 90s to remember my youth, for instance the first school trip I listened to a tape with Twenty 4 Seven - Street Moves when I got homesick.

Nice touch using an Icelandic domain.

Guess Abbott won’t release it because it contains:

Elon: I put on my robe and wizard hat!

TLDR: They are talking about Chinese coders hired by MS have access to DoD related code, not a computer program.

So that’s why the Samurais dog in Nethack is called Hatchi!
