This is hilarious, the llm shames him for not utilizing the --count flag, THAT DIDN’T EXIST WHEN HE RAN THE CLI!

Publishing rhythm
Brilliantly said. Vibe coding is legacy code. It’s code that we forget exists. Code that no one touches, you replace it. If you touch it you are more likely to break it.
The worst possible situation is to have a non-programmer vibe code a large project that they intend to maintain. This would be the equivalent of giving a credit card to a child without first explaining the concept of debt.
As you can imagine, the first phase is ecstatic. I can wave this little piece of plastic in stores and take whatever I want! …

When To Vibe Code
I enjoyed this post from Theo and think it deserves re-iterated, revisited, and to remind myself of some of these things.

The first diagram describes that there has become a spectrum of agentic coding from vibe coding where you don’t ready anything, to looking at everything in detail, across a group of people who don’t have a clue what the code says to people who could do it way better if they took the time.

I saw this post from Simon and I had to give it a go and got some pretty good results. His script is a small cli wrapper around Darren Burns’s Rich Pixels. It works well even through tmux, since there is no terminal magic, just unicode blocks.
Some not so good, and needed the terminal font size cranked up.
This one is one that I’ve been using quite often, I did’t have a hotkey for it, I just used the rm shell command.
!!rm %<TAB><CR>
When you type !! from normal mode it will automatically put you in command mode with .! pre-filled, then you just type rm and <TAB> to auto-complete the current file name, and <CR> to execute the command.
:.!rm %<TAB><CR>

The one quirk that I don’t like about this is that the buffer remains open after deleting, and sometimes I forget to close it and end up re-creating it by mistake when running :wall or :xall.
Create a DeleteFile command with vim command.

Keycap Cut Away
I was curious how/if my custom keycap design was hitting my switches. So I set out to find out what the fitup inside of this assembly looks like, but not theoretically, a fully sliced view into their fit up in the flesh.
To setup for this cut, I flooded the edge of a 2x4 with hot glue, and inserted the cap such that the step was tangent with the edge. This way I could use the edge as a guide to cut one side off and leave the stem in tact. I took a handsaw to it and filed it smooth.
Removal was applying some isopropyl alcohol and it popped right off.
