@JulietEMcKenna OMG every time I read the phrase “vibe coding” on LinkedIn I want to punch the author in the throat! I really should just quit that platform.

@paulboeck @JulietEMcKenna I'm in the *process* of quitting LinkedIn, not only do they platform such shysters, they're quietly un-protecting transfolk, and we all know what that's the first step towards...
