Vibe coding + competence = just fine.
Anything + incompetence = not fine.

Apparently white is the only color that can't be cleaned.
Thoughts on a failed business relationship.
I ran out of gas and had to quit. Meanwhile, he and his buddy were blasting off to the moon generating intricate UIs using AI. (Not-yet-working UIs, that is...)
I had floundered in our first effort before we pivoted. I was lazy, disorganized. But in my defense, I was blazing new ground. Perhaps I can claim that it was demotivating... My task was to connect to CRMs, but we had no actual CRM accounts. So, I was caught up by testing, or the lack thereof.
My main thing is that I wanted this software to work. And I was on the hook for it working. If it broke, they would look at me. My partner promised up and down to be understanding. But I believe what I know about reality: it's my responsibility to ensure that this "money-making machine" stays running.
We had a pause and then pivoted, to a new strategy (which was all his idea). I had expressed concerns about not having enough time to work on this project, between family, and my actual employer, and other concerns of life. He came back with an even bigger and more ambitious project.
Forget about MVPs. He was blasting off to the moon with AI rockets strapped to his thighs. Hope he can steer.
Toward the end, it became clear that I had to disengage.
We were not on the same page anymore.
I was not on board anymore.
I liked my normal life.
"Do not wear yourself out to get rich. Have some wisdom and show restraint".
There's nothing wrong with becoming more rich. In many ways, I am already rich. Riches are good. Wearing yourself out is not, (yourself and your family).
Listen, if I was just a lone wolf like him, I could stay up for three nights straight to tackle an issue and bring it across the finish line. But, I can't do that anymore. I thought I could. I did for a while. But, not anymore.
I am "having some wisdom and showing restraint" before I cause damage that can't be undone.
I have children who need my influence on their life, and not the influence of a stressed, disorganized, and ultimately inadequate father.
If I am inadequately managing _three_ things, then one needs to be removed.
Leveling up involves playing a game that you've never read the rules for.
I wonder how many of those "pack a day" smokers were really just "light a cigarette ... take a puff ... hold it in your hand ... notice it burning out ... light another one ... maybe puff once or twice" kind of smokers?
If you're not thinking about the cost of every cigarette, then this might make sense.
Is it just me or did bald from bald and bankrupt go dark? We saw him in one of Johnny's videos. Entire vibe shift. He is not the same person that he was in his older videos. And then you see the skull figures on his kitchen countertop.
In laws: "Wow there's a mighty fine number of dead ladybugs on your front porch."
Me: "Yeah, they all died! Isn't that interesting!"
My youngest daughter who is two and a half years old has a curious virtue of being _trusting_. The counterpart to that is that she has zero tolerance for any people BS or pretending. She evaluates people by their vibes and their shapes and lines.
We're going more and more fragrance free. The last thing I want to smell when doing laundry is some dorky chemical fragrance. So I love the unscented movement.
I never got why some people don't like washing their toothbrushes with soap.
(these _people_ used to include _me_...)
But, The smell of soap is a lot better than having plaque and toothpaste crust.
I have soft water by the way. So some of you wouldn't understand.
(_You don't know who you are._)
What's up nostr. Should I get a real face pfp?
But is there a website where I can go to, that digitally alters a headshot of myself in a way not very detectable by humans, but it throws off the facial structure recognition / encoding algorithms?
Possibly "AI powered", even?
My toddler just deadass turned off my PC rig by pressing the surge protector reset button.
TikTok is now an American company at least partially because the US government felt it necessary that the company should be willing and able to service government warrants.
"Do not use outdoors." ???
You're telling me I shouldn't use this flashlight outdoors?
Where the Fuck else ...
...Would I Need a Fucking _FLASHLIGHT_?
But then I realize, as I read, ...
There is an underlying tone. From man to man. A message written by the sad engineers who were forced to give up a decent IP spec for the sake of cost cutting.
But they are laying it out for you, in the text!
- "Don't use it outdoors."
- "If it gets rained on, it's gonna break."
- "We are not allowed to tell you that ... _if you take it apart, you can probably seal it up and have it be fucking *waterproof*_."
Suffice it to say that I'm gonna get out my tools real quick...


The difference between Windex and the store brand is that _Windex smells nice_
What's wrong with a little spirituality?
Doesn't it bless people?
And motherfucking bitches will say, "but you will depart from truth". Those fucking bitches don't understand it. Because they never had it.
And I did hear about this kind of thing before I had it. But I understood that I didn't have it! So don't fucking talk to me about how this is some surprise to you.
But I am rebuking what they call, "the religious spirit". Not that I think it is a spirit more than an attitude.
They don't know that the spiritual stuff COMES FROM truth that IS revealed by scripture!
I want to follow people who are anons, but actually human. Like at some point you can tell whether someone's a bot. But I don't want to scroll through 10 pages of their tweets just because I'm inclined to know. We need some sort of grapevine web of trust system...
And also, I want to chat with other reasonably unhinged individuals, sharing our quirky reasonably (but not two reasonably!) unhinged views and opinions.
It's all good dude. No one is going to hunt you down and shoot you. Unless you get doxed of course but the thing is nobody will fucking even want to do that unless it's a assignment from the devil (in which case you have other protections available to you).
No one in this social network will ever be offended, because everybody say weird retarded profane shit on it. BECAUSE it's anonymous!
And the cool thing is, not everyone who says weird shit is completely retarded! Sometimes they are interesting people, especially to interact with.
All the good jokes are by nature weird shit that's why it's called funny. Funny is a word for weird! ("that looks funny"). And with some jokes, you sometimes look to each other and say, "he sort of has a point!". That type of interaction is very valuable in society.
So? Am I saying that giving everyone anonymous profiles on nostr is the solution to world peace? No! That's completely ridiculous for you to think that.
I never thought I'd be changing my pants for another man.
It's not what you think...
Me looking a little too good and some tighter work pants, knowing that his wife would be getting home right about as we work .
And just thinking, I don't want him to even worry about how good my legs look.
Of course nobody will ever fucking know this, besides you fellow anons.

Don't say "taken their own lives", say "ended their own lives". Say what it is.
