Nothing gets me to click "Unsubscribe" from a podcast faster than hearing the hosts jovially bloviating about the ways in which they use ChatGPT and Instagram.

Asking a question of my fellow humans:
Does anyone know of any interesting research or even anecdata with regard to the idea that releasing new software features too quickly is a form of bad UX?
I was thinking about the notion of "agentic" dev resulting in features shipping much faster and *why* that is even assumed to be a good thing. What if it's a bad thing—particularly for established apps with a solid userbase? Do we "want" rapid-fire feature development in that way?
I know "Dry January" is a thing, but #Portland this is just ridiculous. 😅
Look I love blue skies and sunshine as much as the next fella, but I think we need a lot more rain right now? And maybe even snow?! ⛄️
Hero worship—especially in the field of programming—is so weird.
Like, someone on the Platform Which Shall Not Be Named mentioned Linus Torvalds “vibe coding” some kind of audio visualizer tool in Python and this is used as evidence that “it's all over.”
Huh?
I have immense respect for everything Torvalds has accomplished.
I also don't care one iota what he does in his spare time. How does that invalidate my beliefs?
So weird!
Stop worshiping people.
*You shouldn’t even care what I do.* 😉
