Technology becomes humane only when built by people who remember what it feels like to be one.

[Justine Moore @venturetwins]

I'm not saying people need to know how to vibe code. I'm saying there's a lot of non-technical people who try vibe coding tools today, actively want to make something, and can't.

IMO there's opportunity for tools that help those users!

@ycombinator , here we go! 😬

Chances of getting in are slim. VC money is a numbers game, I get it. Still, YC would be a game changer. 🤞

@matiii When will his voice appear as an option in the iconic marketplace?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Technological development has brought, and continues to bring, significant benefits to humanity. In order to ensure true progress, it is imperative that human dignity and the common good remain resolute priorities for all, both individuals and public entities. We must never forget the “ontological dignity that belongs to the person as such simply because he or she exists and is willed, created, and loved by God” (Dignitas Infinita, 7). @PontAcadLife

What starts as an inspired idea becomes a Jira ticket, then a wireframe, then a spec, then a sprint. By the time it ships, the soul is gone.

Asked Claude a CSS question. It used up all its context trying to answer, then locked me out till 7pm. So basically it reacted like a real developer when you bring up CSS.

I looked up the idiom 'Knowing is half the battle'

I assumed Sun Tzu said that or something

Turns it out was from a G.I. Joe PSA from the 80s

Spending all day working with LLMs is like repeating Stuart Smalley affirmation's to yourself. I’m starting to believe I’m actually “Brilliant!”

@FreckledLiberty Yes. But, it's worth it. My daughter slipped a note under my door last night after I fallen sleep. "Daddy I love you!!!"

@denk_tweets Don’t create “rules”. Set guiding principles and tell stories that create a through-line to your company’s values/culture.
