Only history will tell, I’m not ready to say it’s analogous but there are a lot of similarities at the outset.

The amazing thing about vibe coding is the speed at which it lets you switch from “this model id a genius and I’ll never code again” to “what kind of CompSci 101 stupidity is this?” and back again!

I feel like that’s a cat and mouse game I just don’t want to play. I’m trying to put stuff in a syllabus. It needs to work. Not to mention the issue of finding out the “below the fold” part of the article doesn’t do what you need and just being annoyed at tracking it down.

Can we just agree Medium is a bad platform? The teaser followed by paywalls is just impossible.

Ever tried combining Large Language Models with Structured Analytic Techniques? It’s like teaching an AI to think like an intelligence analyst—minus the SCIF and crippling paranoia.

Ya know… I’m still a fan. It’s one of the best SATs, especially for evaluating abstract problems. That said it really helps using some tricks to speed it up. Turns out LLMs can be helpful! github.com/sroberts/tal...

As a professor I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been telling students the best thing they can do is start their own companies. I teach in a very entrepreneurial lay focused program, so many aren’t intimidated, but it’s hard telling students that just getting an A in my classes won’t guarantee a job.

I've been a big fan of @economist.com for awhile. It often seems like their outside but wide ranging perspective is able to be more objective, but the depth is still insightful.

In this blog, we will explore three wireless access point (WAP) research use cases to illustrate how Synapse and the WiGLE Power-Up can be used to discover, analyze, and track wireless networks of interest.

Agreed.
I think my biggest interest in Substack is audience acquisition but the trade off doesn’t seem worth it.
Staying static (I’m on Hugo now) just means my own effort to make sure new folks find my content.
So it’s a “less writing time vs more control” trade off.

Agreed. To me it’s largely ownership/avoiding lock in vs UI sugar and easier audience acquisition. I’m mostly trying to gauge if enough people are on Substack that I won’t need to work for an audience too hard, given static means it’s 100% on me to repost to BlueSky, LinkedIn, etc.

This is my inclination as well. I also don’t like lock in, but the built in reader acquisition is appealing, especially as so many folks move that way… but they did the same with a half a dozen products before. Nice to get confirmation my gut was in the right direction.

As I start the year I want to get back to blogging. My biggest question: update and use a static site like I’ve used before or move to Substack. What have been your pros and cons?

VPN advertising is the most common source of security misinformation that I encounter.
By far.
So many people misplace their trust in dubious consumer VPN products.
The industry is a scourge.
