- Reposted by QuietEngineerSome thoughts: 1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1. 2. History professors are qualified nominators. 3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence. 4. He would be so mad.

My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).* The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner. /1

- This. I frequently use this in work chats to try to be as unambiguous as possible. If I have to come back to a message like "x happened on y" later, I want to know the year, month, and day for y without parsing surrounding context. Otherwise y could be this year or 4 years ago. Or a Monday in June.
- Same with this. Time is a mess where making assumptions like constant timezones will eventually bite you. Like did you know timezone offsets do not all align on an hour mark? Kathmandu, Nepal is currently UTC+5:45 so its top of the hour does not align with mine. bsky.app/profile/raha...

- I backed Skyless Blind by Near (@skylessblind.bsky.social) on Kickstarter. The art style and premise seem really interesting. Also Niko Oneshot mention? www.kickstarter.com/projects/sky... #skylessblind #oneshot #nikoplush

- Reposted by QuietEngineerAnecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

- Agree with this series of posts. Long term maintainability is one of the difficulties of vibecoding and friends. For a small one-off project or a prototype, that might be fine. If you are hoping for the project to still be used a year or even ten years later you could have problems.
- One of my CS professors helped me consider long term maintenance for all projects. He asked things like: - What parts of the project are hard to understand or sloppy? - If you got a bug report in a few months, how long would it take you to find the cause? 2/
- - Will it still work if you upgrade hardware, OS, or language? - Will your docs make sense to anyone else or yourself in a year? - How hard would it be to add a new feature in a year? Not everything needs this analysis. When others use your project or security is relevant it is a good idea. 3/

View full threadThese things are challenging from the start. I feel like rapid code generation and less upfront planning may increase the difficulty. But that is just my vibes. Anyway, that is a long winded way of hoping people are careful. Also that I am a perfectionist. 5/
