Some random dude with opinions. Grand-master in the ancient art of confusing people. Computer networks, a dash of cloudy stuff, occasional cats.

Interesting to see Copilot injecting ads into PR descriptions. Although there are a handful of older instances of this, if GitHub search is working properly, it looks like this started happening at scale around 10 days ago with more than 1k injections of this particular ad per day since then (if you search for other ad strings, you can find the rate of other ads)

What will they think of next?

@adrianco out of curiosity, are you seeing many folks use TLA+ specs instead or in combination with the .md files to vibecode stuff?

If not, do you have a view on what may be the limiting factor(s)?

Looks like Amazon's shipping tracking is hilariously broken. Have something that was yesterday boldly declared as "will be delivered today", just to have the status to be updated to "Delayed, not yet shipped" today after it didn't get delivered yesterday.

(Following thread was prompted by people pointing out that the Bluesky dev team seems heavily into vibe-coding now and originally posted on said vibe-coded Bluesky platform that is now constantly failing.)

Over the past year, every single time one of the apps or services I use suddenly became less reliable and more buggy, I never have to look far for the "Claude is amazing and now writes most of my code" post for the devs involved.

New app. Outlay - a personal finance app for Linux. Track what you spend, set budgets, manage subscriptions, and see where your money goes. Everything lives in one file on your machine. No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry.

It's a native GTK 4 app so it fits right in on a GNOME desktop. I put a lot of work into making it look and feel nice.

Free, CC0 public domain. No subscription to track your subscriptions.

Outlay - Personal finance and expense tracker for Linux

Local-first personal finance for Linux. Budgets, charts, forecasts, 40+ currencies, and more. No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry. CC0 public domain.

Seems like a community of deep research people. Who bought their kids a swing set and like it? Bonus if it survived multiple winters.

I think of this every time I see AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md. WHAT YOU ARE WRITING IS DOCUMENTATION. Why are you suddenly interested in writing clear documentation for the robots when this information would have been helpful for every human contributor who came across your project??

Hilarious. Brave new world.
