  • Today I learned the term Vibe Coding. I love it.

    Edit: This article is a treasure.

    The concept of vibe coding elaborates on Karpathy’s claim from 2023 that “the hottest new programming language is English”,

    Claim from 2023?! Lol. I’ve heard (BASIC) that (COBOL) before (Ruby).

    A key part of the definition of vibe coding is that the user accepts code without full understanding.[1] AI researcher Simon Willison said: “If an LLM wrote every line of your code, but you’ve reviewed, tested, and understood it all, that’s not vibe coding in my book—that’s using an LLM as a typing assistant.”[1]

    Did we make it from AI hype to AI dunk in the space of a single Wikipedia article? Lol.





  • Yeah. Warning - uninvited poetic waxing on feature flags and leadership choices, incoming…

    We all agree we inevitably do some live testing at our customers risk, because no test environment is perfect.

    With feature flags, we’re able to negotiate how many of our customers to test on, at a time.

    But some of us prefer to forgo feature flags and risk our entire customer base on every change. It saves money, at least for a little while.

    I’m not exactly fun at executive leadership meetings, but somehow I keep getting invited to them. Heh.
