The best engineering often comes from that "let's mash things together and see what happens" approach. Most breakthroughs started as someone's weird experiment that made the serious folks uncomfortable.

#463I don't get the widespread hatred of Gas Town. If you read Steve's writeup, it's clear that this is a big fun experiment. It pushes and crosses boundaries, it is a mixture of technology and art, it is provocative. It takes stochastic neural nets and mashes them together in bizarre ways to see if anything coherent comes out the other end. And the reaction is a bunch of Very Serious Engineers who cross their arms and h…
> If you read Steve's writeup, it's clear that this is a big fun experiment: So, Steve has the big scary "YOU WILL DIE" statements in there, but he also has this: > I went ahead and built what’s next. First I predicted it, back in March, in Revenge of the Junior Developer. I predicted someone would lash the Claude Code camels together into chariots, and that is exactly what I’ve done with Gas Town. I’ve tamed them to…
Additionally, Steve seems very adamant about the fact that anyone who doesn't adopt vibe coding is going to be obsolete, and the ones who adopt it best are going to win big.

#464Earlier quoted context omitted.
AI is such a fun topic -- the hype makes it easy to loath, but as a coder working with Claude I think it's an awesome tool. Gastown looks like a viable avenue for some app development. One of the most interesting things I've noticed about AI development is that it forces one to articulate desired and prohibited behaviors -- a spec becomes a true driving force. Yegge's posts are always hyperbolic and he consistently p…
I find it interesting that waterfall is becoming popular again.
I agree, it is really interesting. I think that the main reason, though, is that instead of a waterfall cycle taking weeks or months, it now takes minutes. So it’s the process of waterfall (speccing things out carefully in advance, committing to the plan, assessing the results based on adherence to the plan, etc), but on the time frame of agile.

#465Have you gotten your bitcoins stolen from your wallet or invested in a fake investment platform, you are not alone because this happened to me too. I initially lost $145,000 in just three months. I contacted the authorities and they referred me to a recovery company who helped me recover all my funds within 2 days. I’m speaking up to improve awareness of these cryptocurrency thieves and help as much as i can to reduce victims to the minimum. If you have been a victim, Simply contact them on coinhackrecovery @gmailcom for a solution if you need help.
