  • Loooolll! I love them raising a stink about forking I’m another language. Go for it! Nobody cares and I’m sure it’ll reach feature parity by the time paru is updated. 🙄 And then mentioning Lunduke saying something negative about Rust. Isn’t he some wacko conspiracy/Linux YouTuber? That all made for a good laugh.

    Anyway, I really like Paru, but I’ve switched back to yay until they get a fix. Really not a big deal.




  • “Agentic Engineering”. No, it’s called vibe coding. AI bros are so desperate for legitimacy they make up fancy sounding titles for themselves.

    But this isn’t engineering. Engineering takes rigor and discipline and process and understanding… A lot of it is extremely boring too. The code itself is probably the easiest (and I’d argue least important) part of software engineering. These guys are burning down forests to poorly automate the easy part.

    I’m not saying that coding is easy in an absolute sense, but only relative to the rest of the discipline. A good engineer knows how to design/architect a system, understand tradeoffs, balance customer/user requirements with business needs, set up proper testing and releases, properly document everything, etc.
