4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too. (2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one. (3) Today [two people between big car and even bigger car] PERSON 1: Everyone has huge SUVs now. If I don’t get the biggest one, I’m putting my family at risk. (4) Soon [two people next to large armored car with spiked clubs attached] PERSON 2: If I don’t install more whirling spike clubs, I’ll be destroyed by all the other drivers who...

I have a technique I call incompetence-based-mutation-testing.

Start making some changes. Bork everything, comment out half the existing code to just make stuff compile. Run tests. Watch tests pass.

Stop refactoring, go have a stern word with the tests.

Gott steht vor einer Art Thermostat mit der Aufschrift "Deppen", das auf höchster Stufe 10 steht. Empört dreht er sich um und ruft: "Hey! Wie lang ist das schon so?"

Seufz.

We start with a caption saying, "Pictured: The first vibe coder, Geordi LaForge, about to discover the dangers of natural language programming." The screenshot below is from #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG, the second-season episode Elementary, Dear Data. Geordi is dressed in Victorian clothes since he is taking part in a Sherlock Holmes holodeck program. In fact, he is standing before the holodeck control panel, telling the computer to "Create an adversary capable of defeating Data."

Enjoy your Wednesday, #StarTrek friends!
Beware the pitfalls of giving orders to an overly literal computer. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

My favorite labor cartoon

Four panel cartoon. First panel has female presenting white person with long dark hair, glasses and a green shirt saying “today we are going to learn about insurance!” Second panel has woman talking to the edge of a brown desk, with bubble that reads “hey insurance, I am injured and I need some of that money I give you for in case I get injured.” Third panels is the woman sitting at a desk with a nameplate reading “insurance.” She wears a black top hat and a gold necklace with a dollar sign, and piles of bags with dollar signs on them are behind her. The bubble above her head says “no.” The fourth panel has the woman back to regular dress saying “and that is how insurance works!”

Ouch…

But reading does not mean understanding ;) Just because someone is reading something does not necessarily mean they also understand it.

Well they are lying ;) It is true that there are some segments of Autobahn where there is no speed limit. But to say that there is no speed limit in Germany is plain wrong and misleading.

What!? Says who?

Requiem for a 10x Engineer Dream People claim they get 10x productivity boosts with AI coding tools. After my recent experiments with Claude Code, I'm starting to think we're not using these tools the same way. Or that they’re just l...

OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.

reddit post screenshot. what’s the point of vibe coding if i still have to pay a dev to fix it? what’s the point of vibe coding if at the end of the day i still gotta pay a dev to look at the code anyway. sure it feels kinda cool while i’m typing, like i’m in some flow state or whatever, but when stuff breaks it’s just dead weight. i cant vibe my way through debugging, i cant ship anything that actually matters, and then i’m back to square one pulling out my wallet for someone who actually knows what they’re doing. makes me think vibe coding is just roleplay for guys who want to feel like hackers without doing the hard part. am i missing something here or is it really just useless once you step outside the fantasy

you’re so close

Not friends, not enemies.
Just strangers with some memories.

You would *hope* that software developer job interviews and software development wouldn't require two distinctly different sets of skills.
