You can vibe code your way to a working prototype. You cannot vibe code or one-shot your way to a competitive product that works at scale. The hard part isn't writing code; it's the architectural supervision.

Anyway, if you are still writing and understanding your own code in 2026, you have my deepest appreciation & gratitude.

So now we’re headed towards stormtroopers. Apologies for mixing the genres, but seriously.

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes.

What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

On the micro side, it should be IO by a country mile and then Labour.
