Speaking of kids, here if a kid who is building a nostr gaming system.
Not by vibe coding, by learning how to use unity.
Gamestr.io is the marketplace he's building. Submitting a protocol improvement proposal for gaming types.
His gaming market is first going to feature a Tetris clone that broadcasts scores as that new type.
Talented kid named Sam.

Well, less JS in the world would absolutely be an improvement to be honest.

A friend is learning #photography. Sent me some wonderful photos he took out in the snowstorm yesterday, asked what I think of the composition.
I complimented them and gave some notes for improvement.
He responds: “#Claude didn’t like that one.”
I, flabbergasted, asked why in the world he was prompting an #LLM for feedback on his photos.
He sent me a screenshot of #AI’s feedback on another photo, replying that because he’s new to photography and the responses give him a starting point for finding what people have written about those things.
He specified that he knew most of the things that the chatbot pointed out, but he didn’t catch one of the bullet points.
The screenshot, mind you, is just of random descriptions of the photo with fancy-sounding exaggerated subtitles. (Stuff like: “color contrast: that copper Mini against white snow and blue accent—finally some visual pop.”)
I’m so confused why my friend finds this helpful. I recommended a short book on composition and then gave tips for where to find good visual references to study.
He replied that he didn’t have the time for that right now, but will look at the book.
Sigh. This makes me sad.
