"You make a cup once. You wash it a thousand times." -- David Graeber quote I just learned about thanks to Dimension 20 / Gladlands / Adventuring Party / BLeeM
I see it as a perfect summation of one of the main issues with "vibe coding": creating the thing is nearly irrelevant, compared to the ongoing maintenance burden of the thing.
What kind of cup don't you wash? A disposable one. Which is a capitalist's dream: to get their customer hooked on consumables/disposables.

2/ This Black History Month, let’s acknowledge and reflect on the work of leaders in our movement like Laura Mae Lindo, Zanana Akande and Jill Andrew, who have broken barriers and whose work embodies the words Rosemary Brown loved to quote: “until all of us are free, none of us are free”.

1/ Laura Mae Lindo and Zanana Akande are trailblazers in our party and our movement. They have opened doors and dedicated their lives to social, economic and racial justice.
Zanana was the first Black woman to serve as an MPP and cabinet minister in Ontario history. She raised social assistance rates, and her work led to the creation of Ontario’s Anti-Racism Secretariat and the province’s first binding employment equity legislation.
Laura Mae was the inaugural chair of the Ontario NDP’s Black Caucus, the first formal caucus of its kind in Ontario history. In this role and as the party’s anti-racism critic, she was a powerful advocate in addressing anti-Black and all forms of racism, including by introducing a groundbreaking Racial Equity in Education Systems Act.
Oooooh SNAP!!! 💥
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of Spain:
“First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites. This means that CEOs of these tech platforms will face criminal liability […]
Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense. […]
spreading hate must come at a cost.”
Have a great weekend, Elon! 😘
