L'ouest de Grenoble sous la neige

Christmas only truly begins when your users start running Christmas.exe from two decade old folders on shared drives everybody forgot existed. 🎄

It’s Friday, which obviously means today is the day to push all your untested vibecode to prod before the weekend, but remember that (at least for those of us in the US), next week is a short week presenting one of the best opportunities for code pushes. 🦃🍂🍃🍁

I just do not have the time to write anything long-form about this but the ongoing Mozilla AI debacle is really indicative of a very, very troubling aspect of the broader AI debacle, which is that a strong majority of even the *actually* well-intentioned, smart leaders in tech have had their brains fully cooked by these heuristics machines

Taking a moment to enjoy the little things.
