Moved a child out of her Boston/Brookline border apt yesterday-today, biked some stuff home last night after work, then drove over to pick up all the stuff that would not benefit from being rattled around on our lovely roads, then returned on bike to get all the large lumpy stuff that would be harder to fit into a Honda Civic.
Moved her to Boston like this two years ago (no e-assist), then moved from Boston to Brookline a year ago (with e-assist), now this year (again with e-assist).…

A trailer attached to a longtail bicycle with an after-market e-assist. The trailer contains: One ikea two-pedestal+drawers desk, two mesh-drawer pedestal things, a folding dolly, a folding short step ladder, a wooden chair, a rolling chair, a muddy shoe tray, and a bicycle.

Took the day off to head up to Natural Bridge State Park with my wife. Pictures don’t really do justice to how massive it is.
Then there are the Blue Ridge Mountains, always gorgeous. Will return to Skyline Trail later this summer, as it’s an official International Dark Sky viewing location. Perhaps in August for the Perseid meteor shower season.

A scenic view of rolling hills and mountains in the background, with lush green trees and a grassy field in the foreground under a clear blue sky.
The Natural Bridge, a large rock arch towers above a lush, green valley, with people walking along a path beneath it. The scene features steep, rocky cliffs on either side, partially covered in vegetation, against a blue sky.

A natural rock arch stands tall amidst lush greenery and trees. A pathway runs through the area, with a few figures walking along it. The sky is clear, adding to the scenic beauty.

Yesterday, I've read a vibe coded script for the first time in my life, and I've cried.
It wasn't ugly. "Ugly" is not the right term. It was as if someone wasn't able to comprehend beauty, but badly tried to mimic it. It felt like "malicious compliance" to beauty. The kind of awful verbose pedantry that feels wrong every step of the way.
It's the kind of code you'd expect in a corporate environment when you know that the code would be read by the top suits who have no idea about coding, but judge it by the volume and expect science fiction level of make-believe.
It's the kind of code is abstracted away into the tiniest details. Every function returns a complex dataclass explaining precisely what it did, for no reason at all. What would be two lines of code is a function. What would be a function is a whole module. It's a caricature of good programming practices.
I was supposed to add modifying a second field on the same object via GitHub API. I've guessed it would take me about an hour to figure out the code enough to be able to do that — what ought to be 2-3 extra lines. I suspected I'd discover that most of the code does precisely nothing. Just meaningless API exchanges that are absolutely unnecessary. It felt like the kind of parody of bureaucracy where you have to file 10 forms to do something, and only one of them actually means anything.
What used to be "do one thing well" became "doing ten totally random things is fine, as long as one of them happens to be what I need, and the whole thing doesn't blow anything up in an obvious way".
Perhaps it's just because this way a throwaway script. Maybe "production" stuff takes more, err, prompt refining? Maybe it actually can produce stuff that's comprehensible.
But if that code was any indicator, then I'm not going to believe that any big LLM contributions are actually reviewed by humans. A review will take more time than rewriting from scratch. This is a ticking time bomb. That LLM-generated code isn't introducing exploits right now is either a statistical accident, or it's just that nobody bothers.
Clarification: I didn't "prompt" it or request one. I'm not a hypocrite.

The Backward Step — #futurism

The Wisdom of the Backward Step: On Rhythm, Retreat, and the Dance of Change
Growth isn’t linear. Like dance, it moves in rhythm — forward, back, pause, return. The step backward isn’t failure; it’s part of the choreography.
