@mcg nothing about the pounding on me in this place today feels in good faith either

Fuck me, I'm being stalked and openly judged by someone I've never met and know nothing about (and who knows nothing about me).
Yes, I bought 2 months of X premium for half price to test Grok. Does this make me a bad person?
You know, I never believed it until today but all those people saying this place is even more toxic than X have a point... jeez

Go and look at all of my code, critique it, tell me what's slop, explain how it could be better.
Then make your code open source and I'll do the same.

Building software with LLMs is just using modern tech to do a job. Like programmers have always done. It doesn’t mean you’re reliant upon the LLM. If they went away tomorrow I’d just return to hand cranking the code and being 5-10x slower at my job.
There’s also a massive difference between “vibe coding” and LLM assistance. I review (almost 😅) every line of code, tweak it, make sure it’s as good as I think it can be. Just as I’ve always done. I just do things faster and with more notification.

@raeubervater @markhysted it has to insert the anchor link itself which requires html :)

@gobino i plan to write about pagecord not going away, maybe next week or the one after. it's in a perfect position to be maintained by a community i think

@jan it's the tone of some the replies. i can't bear social media tbh. i'll probably stick around at some level, but won't engage and just block. best way to follow pagecord is the weekly email :)

@raeubervater @markhysted really? how odd. you can change the class names, maybe that will fix it? which ad blocker? I use ublock lite and it's fine

I really don’t need a mastodon account. Maybe I’m a flake who can’t handle the heat, but one hour of character assassinations is actually more than enough for me to take my bat and ball home. Grim.
Heading into the (internet free!) lab to scan a load of film. Then I’ll decide on whether I want to expend any of my time and energy here going forward. Probably not tbh. 👋

@katafrakt @citizen428 @neatnik I’ve removed “pay”, fair point. I’ll also add insincere to the list of accusations being made in this place against my character, thanks.

I'm sat here trying to defend myself to strangers about a throwaway blog post I wrote because I've already been accused of being anti-human, anti-learning, and patronising to non-techies. Is this normal? It's not an enjoyable experience.

Olly@olly@indieweb.social (2026-08-21 17:59:34)
@taichara @neatnik harsh. where did i suggest that non-techies can't follow instructions? i just said "it's more complicated" for non-techies than techies naturally think.

@tnjh @neatnik learning skills is a wonderful thing to do. indeed i state that doing your own website yourself gets you a new skill. you're reading it wrong, sorry if my writing isn't good enough

@citizen428 @neatnik harsh. what on earth is "anti human"? because I suggested using an LLM?
my take is that the vast majority of non-techies who face a problem with HTML/CSS/FTP/DNS (the things you will encounter when 'simply' putting a web page on the internet) will now use an LLM to solve it, wittingly or unwittingly. google is essentially an LLM now, and most people default to chatgpt. you might avoid it, but most humans don't. that's the reality i'm afraid.

@raeubervater @neatnik even with a server in your closet you're going to depend on 3rd party companies in the stack somewhere – email, ISP, DNS, etc etc...
Anyway it's just my opinion in a crappy blog post that's probably weakly positioned... I hate debates on social media.
