I don't care that it's vibecoded, it's beautiful.

> It's extremely common that when a right wing government transitions to a left wing government, the left wing government notices it has insane unpayable debt and tries a bunch of desperate things to repay it.

Meanwhile the right wing opposition keeps pointing fingers and telling that it's the left's (or center's, whatever) fault. Happened multiple times.

I remember having used to follow Python's core developers back when I did more Python, because they had interesting things to say at the time. Later I unfollowed them all in disgust as I started getting more and more of "better than thou" vibes from that bunch.

That was some years before Tim Peters incident, and when it had happened, I was sad but not surprised at all.

Doesn’t macOS have a way to generate cert.pem from the keychain?

Also certifi in every Python venv, keystores in every single container, nested keystores within that, it’s certificate matryoshkas all the way down!

If whoever approves or rejects the package wants to use an LLM to help with the submission, it's their thing. Not for, not against, LLMs can be good "interns" a lot of the time.

That said, the LLM presence and involvement should be confined to the team using it. "We don't know what it says, it is not a part of judgement, it may make mistakes, but here's a wall of text from it for you to read for who knows what benefit" is quite a dick move. Don't throw slop into people's faces like that.

It's so bizarre, to get political texts via SMS. Here in Europe, I have got 0 (zero) political texts in my life.

Maybe the product manager thought people would think the tool wasn't working otherwise.

Thank gods I'm not the only one noticing this! When humans write impenetrable prose, most of the time it will be too verbose. Big words, too many words, long sentences, being parenthetical, that kind of thing. LLMs, however, make their writing hard to understand by being too terse in a peculiar way, where "the caveman" is also "the mad scientist". I've noticed both Claude and Codex often invent their own jargon to explain what the code does and what their fixes are about. It's irritating, but I thought maybe I was getting senile and could not understand a simple sentence.

Why can't _you_ prompt your favorite LLM to do it?
