Completely depends on what I’m doing. If it’s prose then likely markdown. If it’s data then csv or json. Not much use for yaml or xml personally.

Vibe coding is both transformative and absolutely terrifying. You move so far so fast, but with each step forward, you can't help but worry that the ground you've covered might vanish or become blocked by your very progress. It's like navigating a maze that reshapes itself as you move through it.

Also, did it come or did you finally relent to another route?!?

In over 20 years living in the city, I may never have taken a B train. Is this B train in the room with us right now?

I literally have 3 family pictures sitting on the floor in our hall right now. I feel that. 😆

Why are we still optimizing hammers when AI lets us skip straight to hanging the picture? Winners are returning to first principles and asking "What problem are we really solving?" No to AI features. Yes to reimagining what's possible without historical constraints. https://paragraph.xyz/@saadiq/stop-chasing-ai-start-reimagining-with-it

No takers yet. 😔 Not optimistic at this point.

Sincere question for Trump voters… Are you happy with how things are going? Is this what you wanted? My feeds feature a lot of anecdotes of Trump voters shocked he is doing what he said he would but I don’t know if that’s just the algo giving me what I want. So, is this how we get great again?

Taking the LIRR to JFK for the first time. The fact that they have full signage for an outbound side and an inbound side but seem to still have trains come either side for both directions is so fucking New York.

Holafly is good for unlimited and I've used airalo for a la carte stuff.

Explaining staking and technical risk to a non-crypto friend. Does this mean we are back?

Fast fashion meets software: AI enables rapid, disposable apps tailored to niche needs. From workout timers to Chutes & Ladders spinners, bespoke solutions are now accessible to everyone. While true software engineering remains complex, AI empowers individuals to create artisanal apps for personal use. Expect a surge of niche tools improving everyday experiences. What have you built lately?

Fast fashion has come to software. I built a workout timer months back for 20 min body weight workouts while we were at an Airbnb this summer. This morning, I had Claude whip up a web app for a spinner to play Chutes & Ladders with my son. Disposable, bespoke apps for all.

Agree. You will be far more successful at both if you can also do the task you are asking to be done. This thing will do exactly what you ask for but perhaps not what you want. You have to be able to know good work when you see it and nudge it back on track if it strays.

AI isn't killing product management - it's eliminating the busywork. While document creation becomes trivial, the strategic work of connecting today's activities to customers' desired future becomes more crucial than ever. This "death" might just birth something better. https://paragraph.xyz/@saadiq/product-management-is-dead

This encapsulates why it’s so hard to build in crypto. Zeneca is at least in touch with what he truly wants. Most people really think they are into the art, the innovation, the decentralization, etc but they just chase what’s pumping.
