Please excuse me while I'm having a little existential crisis, lol.

And if that wasn't bad enough, Mozilla has embraced AI (in its code, too), while Linux considers relaxing AI code policy and has some examples of patches co-authored by LLMs.

I am still yet to think hard about what I want to do about it. But the world I knew is no more.

@nina_kali_nina Hmmmm... At this point to avoid using vibecoded projects we might actually need to make my hypotheticals real!

That's sad.

@alcinnz @nina_kali_nina what’s your hypotheticals?

@xarvos @nina_kali_nina I've got a few, but my favorite one methodically explores reimplementing an entire web browser (JS-less) web browser, communication tools, file editors, etc complete with their underlying operating system & hardware.

I chose to design that underlying hardware specifically for reformatting text, & its proving to be a great fit for most of what we tend to use computers for!

I have to publish more here, but they're at: https://adrian.geek.nz/from-scratch
