      Living in Minnesota right now feels like being in the emergency room. Literally everyone is suffering in different ways, even if it's "just" a badly twisted ankle rather than a kidney stone or a full-on heart attack. The staff are working as hard as they can but energy and resources are dwindling.

      I still don't get the hype about vibe coding.
      
      Like sure, its neat for experimental stuff and side projects, but why is this attracting so much money? Production apps still need human eyeballs, even with Claude Code.
      
      What am I missing?? I feel like a dumb dumb for not getting it.

      A delightful feature of near-perfect-voice-to-text is that when my husband and I are pottering about at home, talking to our devices about work problems or baby things or side projects, we get lots of context on the things occupying each otherโ€™s mindsโ€ฆ

      This is my only complaint about @oxide.computer - the writing heavy process feels a little daunting for someone with the flavor of ADHD that many like myself have ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

      Oxide is at the top of the list of companies I'd like to apply to.
      
      I respect them so much that I want to do the writing-heavy process very carefully.
      
      Which means I'm constantly procrastinating because I never have the time I feel it deserves.
      
      Am I the only one?
