People mistakenly think prototypes are for discovering the right answer. They are most effective when used to find the right question.

Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

The amount of times i had people look at me funny when I get excited for a different error message.
"Why are you excited, it's still broken."
"Yes, but the problem changed meaning we're starting to narrow down what's actually wrong."

We can only perceive software systems through tools.
This makes tools essential for anything we do with software systems, and in particular for software engineering.
And we should pay attention to our tools' characteristics as they will influence how we are going to think.

I'm doing some vibe coding experiments. If your project is small and you have years of coding experience, it only takes a dozen or so rounds (and light edits) to make it work. Here's ascii_moon_phase: pypi.org/project/asci...
Vibe coding is definitely not something a beginner can do.

Imagine that the cost of Legos dropped to almost nothing, millions of bricks for a penny, and suddenly people were claiming that non-experts would now build all of our houses, bridges, skyscrapers, and infrastructure out of Legos.

Been getting a lot of people asking about LA geography concerned that the images they see means the entire county is on fire. That's understandable.
But LA is a big place. So, to give an idea of scale it's time to cart this out again. It's a map of LA with other cities superimposed on it.
