No I do not want your observation at the irony here

Generative AI vegetarianism

Hello, it’s me: I’m a generative AI vegetarian. The tech industry is convinced this is the future; I don’t want any of it, full stop. Why choose generative AI vegetarianism? Just like real-life vegetarianism, there are a bunch of good reasons.

hello I have just removed my first body hair using this DIY hair electrolysis machine I built. The current is controlled by how hard you squeeze the pop can and the power source is a car battery. I intend to improve this but for a first attempt I cannot complain
are they called your vices cause they have a grip on you?????
for whoever needs to hear this: you're not alone. i'm not vibecoding any of the software i write. i'm writing it by hand, but i've leveled up my emacs with eglot/lsp. i'm modernizing my stacks and use languages with excellent compilers. i think about how to do more with less. i'm trying to combine the best human-written libraries and modules and assemble them with minimal boilerplate. i enjoy reading your manuals and references. i believe in robust, secure, human-written software.
it really gets me thinking about what gur most effective / organic way to put complex docs into a project is, like can i make gur docs themselves -fun-
