@fsou @paco @tante @pikesley The American Physical Society has a wonderful collection of crank letters and the like. One of my favorite stories: An editor told Feynman he couldn't call them "tadpole diagrams" because that's too undignified. Feynman replied that that was fine. Just call them "sperm diagrams." “Tadpole" was hastily approved. I did not actually see the correspondence, so I can't vouch for the story's authenticity.

"How observing Vibe Coders cured my Imposter Syndrome"
@pikesley for me that was just working at a company, what's the difference between a regular Senior Software Engineer and a vibe coder? Both produce unmaintainable slop

@fsou I just came across this gem a few hours ago in my timeline that made me think of your guilty pleasures... ht @amiserabilist
"Whoever thinks NASA is really flying around the moon, I have a few questions. So, rockets use gas and fire, right? Or is it rocket fuel, whatever the hell they use, and fire? But doesn't fire need oxygen, and isn't there no oxygen in outer space? So, how would they use a rocket to fly around the moon, or even in 1972 when they supposedly landed on the moon, how did they leave the moon if there's no oxygen on the moon for the flame to work? Can someone help me make sense of this?"

@fubaroque Right.
Like if you are writing a math paper and google for help on LaTeX…

@pikesley First of all, love your username.
Second of all, this thread made skin peel off my skull a la NIcholas Cage in Ghost Rider. -
@pikesley This reminds me that the other day I went on Reddit & a post from r/eth popped up. I’d forgotten I joined it back in the day. The OP was asking what to do with all his graphics cards that were now gathering dust.
@superflippy @pikesley Somehow, running a BOINC instance and doing some good old math for the community seems to never be an option.

@pikesley /r/Vibecoding is my guilty pleasure. It's like watching a bunch of people totally high on paint argue about existential questions
@tante@tldr.nettime.org @pikesley@mastodon.me.uk I used to microdose this by teaching strangers about how technology actually works, but watching them invent reasons for things to work is honestly far more entertaining

@pikesley I knew my vibe coding had some use!!! Youre welcome

@cshlan I suspect there’s a bit more that they just don’t know.

"My app is ready http://localhost:3000 how do I monetise?"
@pikesley I can recommend a piggy bank next to the monitor. Also implement a conversion feature pointing to it for increased revenue. The target group and reach are small, but every startup starts small

They absolutely do not comprehend the difference between git and GitHub
@pikesley to be fair many Senior and even Staff Software Engineers don't either -
