Often, when I want people to do something or implement my idea, I secretly just plant seeds and guide them to coming up with the idea themselves, because then they're excited and will almost always do it.
A trick I learned from the ad agency world.
Before vibe coding became a thing, programming was already evolving in that direction. It already increasingly consisted of installing and configuring stuff other people wrote, without reading the source.
I have a very hard time lately trying to get myself to sit down to read a book for an hour.
But I'll spend the entire day reading tweets, texts, articles and Ai chats.
Why brain, why?
In the future I want to live in a town that only allows yellow/orange lights on at night. Any rule breakers will be jailed and then also get eggs thrown at them by yours truly.
I haven't had access to Netflix for months now. I really miss starting a new movie or show on there only to quit partway through because it was total garbage. Miss it tons.
@MatJarvis I did. 😂 I actually believe today's internet (esp social media) is ruining the world in a trillion ways and I secretly wish it imploded on itself.
It's around day 8 of me not having internet (thanks, Bell!). I miss vibe coding. Data is too slow for my standards.
But I've started organizing things around my house that I've wanted to organize for over 2 years. 😊
My dad came to my rescue and replaced a whole faucet and valve and I didn't even know he knew how to do that. It was so intensive and involved cutting and soldering pipes, among other crazy things. My dad's the best.
The amount of times I'd share a cool product idea with someone only for them to go "well what about if you did it like this" and then they'd say the most boring thing that would absolutely kill the core concept…
I'm having a chaos week. It involves roofers, plumbers, my internet being down for over 24 hours now, and a bunch of Wask packages being stolen by a realtor (yeah, wild).

SOMEONE VIBE CODED POKEMON GO BUT FOR CATS YOU MEET IN REAL LIFE
see a cat, open the camera, snap it, and it gets added to your collection as a little creature with a name, rarity, level, and its own stats page
> checks the photo actually has a real cat in it, so you cant just screenshot one or use an image
> every cat you catch gets a rarity and its own collectible card
> a world map shows cats other players have found near you
> has retro cartoon art, cream colors and thick outlines, built to feel like a game
he wanted "snapping" a cat to feel playful and fast, not like just saving a photo
so most of the work went into the detection and making the catch feel like a real game
i need a dog one asap
