Amazing how my senator, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, only contacts me when he wants money.
I like Chris, but I’d like to see him do more than talk.
I want to see him actually do something.

A pot of purple mums. I am pruning the old flowers so the new blooms can open.

Is this the “doomscrolling” that you have talked about?

Chat, vibe coding is out, vibe engineering is in, but what we doing after that, vibe science, viber security, or what?

Don't wanna get left behind.

Vibe engineering

I feel like vibe coding is pretty well established now as covering the fast, loose and irresponsible way of building software with AI—entirely prompt-driven, and with no attention paid to …

I can’t watch this. Bondi is an anti-intellectual partisan cheerleader.
Every mistake is redirected. Every uncomfortable question is deflected.
It is tiring to watch.
And completely predictable.

Hey -- folks:

If any of you are on TikTok, there's someone pretending to be me using "joannebfreeman" -- and supposedly, even asking for money.

IT'S NOT ME.

I've just reported them.
Please do the same.
