I used AI. It worked. I hated it.

I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

Surprisingly honest and thorough account of a FIRST TIME #Vibecode by an #Ai antagonist.

If there is one comment that I keep making...
I am surprised how many folks with "Information wants to be free" stickers on their laptops and hard drives full of stolen movies and music are suddenly so, so precious about #intellectualproperty

Given that 70-90% of code out there of #foss talking about "tech build on theft" is stretching the definitions to the boundaries.

@n_dimension @se_davidobrien the irony goes both ways: big corporations lobbied heavily for the #DMCA to stop copyright theft, now it’s the corporations doing the theft

The end of this kinda reminds me of the Luddites.
Not the Luddites of myth who hated technology.
The actual Luddites who were against dehumanising technology.

Hopefully things will go better this time.
