My partner and I used to use location sharing pretty much 100% of the time. We just felt better knowing we could find each other.

But today, we do not, because the trust is shattered.

Google just cannot be trusted with our locations.

We need to get scientific about this.

This feels like the part where Doctor Who retreats into short Flash animations on obscure BBC websites.

But I'm happy to see more from Jo Martin, in any case.

"Hospitality/ Nevada"

I see we're still playing along with that euphemism. Haha.

Yes. I'm not sure what else has gone on, but NAFTA and the US China Relations Act sweaping all of the manufacturing out of the country could account for the whole change between the two maps.

I agree. But I mean, WordPress and SquareSpace already did that for about 98% of web traffic. It was a big part of the .Com Boom and Bust.

But we keep coming up with new stuff to build web software for, and there's still plenty of web developer jobs. And there's still so so many many shit websites.

Today's AI can only remix, not do the new stuff. Maybe it'll get good enough to tackle the novel new stuff, someday. I doubt I'll live to see it, if it happens.

The root of my crankiness is: If we're about to no longer need developers, I should be seeing widespread websites whose search, cart and checkout actually work correctly every time.

The snake oil salesmen are bragging that the era of carpentry has ended, from on top of a wooden stage that is falling to pieces with each step.

I would say, it can only get better, but it can really go both ways from here.

He made Colbert disappear.

Heh. Anything to get them to spend their energy, money and influence.

I imagine that the shift to Podcasts will decisively silence Colbert to an equal extent as it did Conan.

Just playing some Endless Sky.

I think I'll spend most of the weekend on yard work.

why do you guys always just move the goalposts?

"Vibe coding" has a pretty specific definition, which includes not understanding the code. So writing tests, or correcting the code both disqualify a piece of work from being technically "vibe coded".

"yes", "no", and "ship" is hilarious.
