This is not what Substack set out to be, but it is what Substack has become: a reactionary incubator where bigots of varying stripes can meet and collaborate, then take their work into the world, laundered with a tech unicorn’s imprimatur. Most won’t be self-identified Nazis, but reining them in would mean restricting the growth of the rest. As Silicon Valley swings right, a shift led in part by major Substack investor Marc Andreessen, Substack will only expand its role as a clearinghouse for the far-right, funded and legitimized by the non-fascists who remain on the platform.

Un altro articolo su come Substack stia diventando la piattaforma preferita di neo-nazisti e estremisti di destra di vario genere.

Rimanere su Substack significa sostenere la piattaforma che sostiene questa gente.

L’altro giorno Substack ha inviato una notifica push a molti utenti per pubblicizzare un blog americano di propaganda nazista.

Se i nazisti non vi piacciono, forse è ora di lasciare Substack.

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!

Which is a lot like AI can build anything now! Nobody needs to learn how to code! Look at what it just made for me!

But if you wait a month, you’ll get the credit card bill. Did I actually need to buy all those things? How will I get myself out of this hole?

It’s similar for the vibe coder. My code is broken. What do all these files and folders even do? How will I ever get this fixed? Can I get a refund for the $400 I spent vibe coding?

If you don’t understand the code, your only recourse is to ask AI to fix it for you, which is like paying off credit card debt with another credit card.

Un post interessante sul vibe coding, che ci ricorda che il costo principale dello sviluppo software è la manutenzione e l’abilità principale di chi sviluppa software è capire profondamente come funziona e come fargli fare quello che vogliamo che faccia.
