There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It's possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like "decrease the padding on the sidebar by half" because I'm too lazy to find it. I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I'd have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can't fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It's not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I'm building a project or webapp, but it's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.

An epic battle between the growth PM, the revenue PM, and legal.

My feed is half ChatGPT screenshots. It's the new Wordle.

I asked OpenAI to write a letter to my son explaining that Santa isn’t real and we make up stories out of love. This is making me slightly emotional 🥹

@thathoo Is your mom the one in purple? Seeing resemblance there!

Just found a clip of my mom and aunt in this 1974 Telugu movie. Keep getting reminded that my parents were way cooler than I can ever be.

7. Overall, it’s really nice being back in an office. I didn’t realize how much I had missed it <3

6. Unpacking boxes from 1.5 years ago felt like opening a time capsule. I found 4 pairs of shoes in one of the boxes, under 3 keyboards and 2 mouses. I didn’t even miss them all these days as I only needed one pair for the duration of the pandemic.

Back at the Meta/Facebook office for the first time after 1.5 years (covid shutdown). Here's how it feels: 1) Cannot believe how much we took for granted... Free coffee, free snacks, free breakfast, free supplies, free toothbrushes, free stationary, free carrot muffins...
