Vibe coding is causing the industry to make the classic mistake of confusing activity and progress. A PM’s job is helping the team figure out what to do and ensuring it gets done. SWEs determine how to do it and build the product.
PMs vibe coding features is a distraction and indicates they haven’t figured out how to use AI to accelerate their actual job function.

The point is: If you ask AI for information, it will provide you that information, even if that information doesn't exist.
AI is fucking teenage me that didn't study for a test: It's just winging it and making shit up.

Turns out they fed the 750 pages of technical Interface documentation to ChatGPT and ChatGPT had just hallucinated that whole segment into existence. I know that, because unlike that Business Analyst, I have read those 750 pages of Interface Documentation. They didn't even skim the table of content.

A young Business Analyst held a powerpoint presentation on the topic of replacing a client's legacy system today.
i got suspicious when they confidently started talking about the historic reasons the client was using that system and and what the benefits have been in past...

@Marcel_Gehlen Huh, still had that on my wishlist, but wasn't sure if I wanted to pick up. Sounds like I might not.

For people who want alternatives, Ghost is a Substack-style platform that doesn't host Nazis. Its software is free open source so you can self-host if you prefer, or use Ghost's own paid hosting service.

Ghost also has Fediverse compatibility so people can follow your Ghost blog or newsletter directly from Mastodon etc. More info at fedi.tips/ghost-blogs-and-news

A schoolgirl in breads, a sweater and will skirt looks out a schoolhouse window into an apparent gray day. Two captions appear.

Caption 1: Once the weather gets warmer, I'll be unstoppable.

Caption 2: Unless it gets too warm. Then I'll be stoppable again.

From tumblr's brightwanderer:

"I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all."

@sinnundverstand absolut. Wir waren letztes Jahr zum ersten Mal seit meinem SchĂźleraustausch in Frankreich und dann gleich auf Ouessant in der Bretagne. Ich habe mich ein bisschen verliebt...
