"DoIt" looks like "Dolt" in all too many fonts.
lol it's DOLT, not DoIt.
Yegge's Medium uses a serif font so you can tell, but in many faces you can't.
(We still get this comment constantly and it's very unfortunate)

#53Feels like a missed opportunity to not use Blockchain for the reputational ledger. A throwback reference to quaint, olden times.
I was thinking the same thing, should have put all the buzzwords together in one soup.
Re: Welcome to the Wasteland: A Thousand Gas Towns
#54I don't understand what this is about. What's a wasteland? What's a gas town?
Is this Ethereum related?
Help?

I legitametly thought it was Dolt until you pointed it out
The database actually is named "Dolt." It's their own take on "git." https://www.dolthub.com/
nit, Dolt is more a relational database with some git addons, i.e. it started from SQL to make it better, rather than starting from git and adding SQL

#56I'm still choosing to believe this is all a joke.
Yesterday I wanted to change a white background to transparent on some clip art. I’m still learning Affinity so asked Google Gemini Nano Banana PRO 2. The output looked ok at first but the grey squares were a little off. They didn’t make a perfect grid. I opened it in mspaint and was able to erase the grey squares. It didn’t change the white background to transparent, it just drew an array of grey squares, but only good enough for a first glance. I have no idea how these AI tools can make anything of use if left to their own devices.

#57I don't claim I am a good developer, but I seriously doubt any project which can't be explained with couple of sentences at most.
"We pay for 10000 AI bots and it makes awesome software, which is invisible and undetectable by anybody except me. It gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment."
Remember when they did that dopamine abstinence movement?

Yeah, I meant the name is a play on 'git'.

#60I really want to host a vibe coding competition and see what can actually be made with these systems. Like if we’re doing insane token spends, it better be in service of creating amazing stuff. Can we make an entirely new programming language? Can we make an OS?
>Can we make an entirely new programming language? This is trivial in a few hours with Claude Code
I am designing one, aimed at Claude Code and other AI Coding Agents, and getting the first version lex/parser/compiler was an afternoon project. It was initially a TypeScript toolchain generating TypeScript code.
I keep adding things here and there, a couple hours everyday. Then after about a week I decided to switch the toolchain from TypeScript to Rust, how much work? A 5 minute planning session and a ~20 minutes implementation phase.
Trivial stuff indeed.
