We are 470 days into the Trump administration but Spirit Airlines closed saturday… because of Biden.

This is *brutal*...
"There are no more juniors. There was a funeral for their passing in 2024. Nobody came. The machine does what they do now, but cheaper. Of course, juniors weren't valuable for what they produced, they were valuable for who they would become: the senior engineer who knows where the bodies are buried. We optimized for output, and abolished apprenticeship. A few years from now, we'll wonder where all the seniors are. We shot them. Nobody will remember."
Indeed, I don't think there's much distinction between "agnetic engineering" and "vibe coding" either. https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/6/vibe-coding-and-agentic-engineering/
The incentives of high output generation with review being the bottleneck will clearly move users towards just vibing and less reviewing. (But that has seemed obvious to me for a long time, anyway)
@cwebber I agree with the blog post that "agentic" isn't much of a middle ground. But I don't think FOSS needs to compete with enterprise head-on in terms of code volume. We've always found ways to punch above our weight and should think harder about this.
@shortcolin @concretedog That is stunning - very impressive!
@neil @concretedog Thank you for that compliment. And thank you both for blogging/tooting about it in the first place and introducing me to the device. Although...given I have new project ideas for it and have enough already maybe I shouldn't thank you!!
@hejchristian Depending on your needs, there is the option of simply having the repository on a server, just as a directory. That way anyone with SSH access can pull and push. I host most of my repositories on my website like that (https://fietkau.software/git_repositories), with a wrapper around Gitweb (https://git-scm.com/docs/gitweb) for public downloads.
It's not great for collaboration though – no issues, pull requests, etc. I put my stuff that needs those kinds of channels on Codeberg.
@julian @hejchristian And Codeberg is on German servers and run by a German nonprofit, is that right?

Glad to see this. Job-seekers should also see items tagged with "oa.jobs" by the Open Access Tracking Project (#OATP, @oatp), since 2009. Crowdsourced. International. Updated continuously.

DeSmog just went to a data centre conference and found gas turbine manufacturers happily and openly talking about how they expect Europe to follow America's completely bonkers fossil gas / data centre boom
