I'm not trying to be contrarian for the sake of it but vibe-coding really doesn't make me happy as an engineer. I've been trying to find something else that works for me: https://mattfarrugia.com/posts/experiments-in-blueprint-driven-development
Experiments in blueprint-driven development

Vibe-coding doesn't make me happy as an engineer. Can we come up with a better approach to AI-assisted coding for software engineering productivity?

I wrote a post on the bits of the Vision Pro I think will go on to become the standard for spatial computing. Most of it is different to every other headset on the market https://mattfarrugia.com/posts/apples-vision-for-spatial-computing

The core ideas embodied by the Apple Vision Pro that will go on to define the spatial computing paradigm

If @stroughtonsmith is going to start posting here I’m going to have to start opening this app again 😀
Mrs F broke her favourite mug today 🙁 a large white mug with the Pixar logo I bought her in the company store when I visited. I take it these aren’t generally available for sale in the UK?
So does mastodon support migrating to another instance and keeping all your followers/followees? Because that’s an absolute killer feature of a federated system. If they don’t support that then how isn’t it another walled garden?
Found some Gnome tweaks to make me feel at home on the desktop. Just need to hook up a Mac keyboard as the PC one is driving me up the wall.
Got Tensorflow GPU installed and it blows away the CPU performance on this machine. Getting 13k examples per sec versus 400 on the CPU when running cifar10_train.py
Spent a considerable amount of time setting up a hackintosh to use a 1080ti for machine learning. Only to discover Tensorflow GPU on the Mac is no longer supported 🤦‍♂️Looks like I’ll be installing Ubuntu for the first time in a decade.
Giving mastodon and micro.blog a try this week. So far mastodon.social + twitter bridge + tootdon has been a frictionless experience to get up and running. Micro.blog seems like I’ll have to *do* stuff to get the best out of it 🤷‍♂️
