Been thinking about our vibe-coded future. Software is already so janky, but we're heading for a whole new level of jank, where things seem to work on the surface until you dig a little deeper, but try a slightly less common use case, and it all breaks down.
Computers already often don't work, but at least there's still a sense that they are _supposed_ to work, that someone messed up if they don't. That notion may seem quaint soon. Instead they'll be fickle spirits who may cooperate if it pleases them, but only ever temporarily.
I wonder if we'll get a counter reaction, "deterministic software", "built by humans", "AI-free".
@sxa yum perl pie. I uesd to do that a lot :-) The starting point of my modern perl scripts is invariably the core loop that -pie provides (while(<>) {...)
holy crap, I just realized:
I ignored the metaverse and inevitably ended up completely left behind! 
Happy birthday, Amiga!
