Jim Nielsen: I Tried Vibing an RSS Reader and My Dreams Did Not Come True. “…vibe coding kinda left me with that feeling I get after indulging in social media, like ‘What just happened? Two hours have passed and what did I even spend my time doing? Just mindlessly chasing novelty?’ It’s fun and easy to mindlessly chasing your whims.

Web Informant: Moving day. “Back in 1993, I took the radical (at the time) step of requesting a new domain, strom.com.

Brad Frost: My 8-year-old vibe-coded a video game about playing music with Michael McDonald. “We’re in a place where we can think of ideas, articulate them, and then seconds/minutes later be interacting with those ideas, seeing them come to life before our very eyes.

I remember hearing about people who ran multiple custom bots simultaneously — rotating through them, orchestrating conversations between agents — and thinking they were out of their minds.

Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder: Meta Deleted Me. I Still Don’t Know Why. And neither will you.. “Was my account hacked by a nefarious actor who posted some offensive and obscene material? I can’t rule it in or out, as I don’t have access to my account to perform a forensic analysis of any logins from suspicious devices or the like. That, and I ‘cannot request another review of this […]

Pinch of Intelligence: Two months as a vibe coder. “The last two months my work completely changed. My job changed from thinking long and hard about problems and coming up with the best few code to solve this, to full-on talking in English to my computer begging it to produce better code.
