Plus, two more projects reject AI-generated code as the community's newest fault line cracks wide open.

I'm still using Bitwarden. Highest spouse approval factor and my company uses it so I get a free family plan

One last ai boost, sorry. 🤪 I've found that treating ai contributions as if they came from another person is really helpful- just because I vibe coded or AI assisted something doesn't mean it is exempt from my normal review process. If I give the agent's PR the same scrutiny and feedback I do one of my junior devs, the amount of slop decreases by an order of magnitude. Whether it helps my juniors write less slop, o…

One sad thing about all this politicizing of AI is that so many people put themselves in the "AI good" or "AI bad" camps, when it's always both- Good for what? Bad for what? It's not blanket one or the other. (I really do appreciate JBs nuance here- y'all are some of the few that don't just pulpit pound from one side or the other) Brandon Sanderson has a really good keynote called "We Are The Art," that hits this re…

Mystery t9 boost 😁 All this AI blocking reminds me of the yearly hacktoberfest drama ratcheted to 11. We've relied so long on a base level of quality being baked in by virtue of the learning/effort curve being high enough that people wanting to contribute are also putting that kind of time into their code, and thus more likely to have better code. (Always a terrible assumption IMHO) Offer a bunch of people free T-s…

To answer Chris’s question on our MDF proposal — same URL, agent sends Accept: text/markdown, gets clean markdown back. No scraping, no HTML parsing. Access policy is expressed through price — free content serves immediately, premium content triggers a Lightning invoice via L402. One sat to a hundred dollars, same mechanism. Reference server is a self-hostable Docker image. Price also gives content owners a natural…

Vaultwarden user over here- it's the only one I've found that has the wife approval factor while also allowing us to share creds with both each other and family/friends. (Also handy for securing and time/access limiting random stuff like when I needed to send my boss a scan of my passport) I also used it to force myself to learn and practice proper backup and HA hygiene. Been running 6 years with 0 fire drills and f…

(2001 space odesy boost 🙏) have you guys come across a rotary subwoofer in your journeys? It can hit 1 herz 🤯. I know Chris has an ultimate home theater video that may need a part 3 🤞
