Why Did a $10 Billion Startup Let Me Vibe-Code for Themβ€”and Why Did I Love It? I spent two days at Notion and saw an industry in upheaval. I also shipped some actual code.

Great new reporting from @laurengoode.bsky.social on being an embed at @notion.com, working with their engineering team vibe-coding some new features.

We were just suspended without warning from threads and Instagram. We have no idea why.

If any of y’all are on those apps and want to let them know to fix that we would be appreciative.

The idea that only Democrats use nationwide injunctions is false. The reason we don’t have student debt forgiveness from President Biden is because Republicans got a nationwide injunction.

This isn’t about partisanshipβ€”it’s about power and who’s willing to use it.

The Tennessee Holler (@thetnholler) on Threads IAEA DIRECTOR: β€œI indicated very clearly we did not have elements to prove Iran had a plan or a systematic effort towards a nuclear weapon.”

IAEA director: We've made it very clear that in our assessment Iran had neither the elements to create a weapon or a program in place to try and build one.

Rubio: Who cares what US Intelligence said (US Intel showed that Iran was nowhere near capabilities to create a weapon)? We bombed Iran because the IAEA said they were about to create a nuclear weapon.

The tldr;
It's great for something quick. Like for someone without a budget to build something that they wouldn't otherwise be able to.

But you really want someone experienced to give it a critical code review if it's something that you or your company will depend on for anything important.

Vibe Coding Is Coming for Engineering Jobs Engineering was once the most stable and lucrative job in tech. Then AI learned to code.

A good read on what Vibe Coding is today, where it's likely to settle once the buzz dies down and what it means for software engineers.

I’ll say this as many times as I have to.

No tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself. Not a one.

🚨 ICE agents in masks and no uniforms abducting people from a Phoenix immigration court - no ID, no explanation, no due process.

This is not law enforcement.
This is authoritarianism.

Demand accountability.

Stay loud.
Stay informed.
Stay safe.

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat.

In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.
