It’s depressing to see the effects of slop on tools on a daily basis. It’s making be double down on rejecting lots of ecosystems I’ve been a proponent of. This includes Rust and beam languages like Elixir, Gleam.

It’s painfully obvious that there is are motivated groups that want to pull out all stops to make vibe coding the new normal. Them being burnt out on coding isn’t a failure of human coding. It’s incentives that reward selfish behavior and it’ll kill personal computing.

I’ve been quietly trying to find what corner of computing can be carved out which asserts our ownership and control of computers. The personal must remain personal.
