For a word nerd exploration of how colours are defined in dictionaries, check out 'True Color: The Strange and Spectacular Quest to Define Color' by Kory Stamper. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/237693038-true-color

Do you have any references for "vibe coded monoliths tend to collapse in on themselves at ~30,000 LOC"? I haven't personally vibed up anything with that many LOC, so I'm legitimately curious if we have solid numbers yet for when this starts to happen (and for which definitions of "collapse").

Seeing him present those demos/techniques in person would have been an amazing experience. Is there video of that presentation online anywhere? I'd love to know the background of how he developed his programming techniques and visual style.

He asked us, "Be you angels?" And we said nay. We are but men, write!

It's fascinating that easing, which is what this article mostly boils down to, is something that each new generation seems to need to (re)discover on their own.
I remember being fascinated by Yugo Nakamura's experimental websites back in the late 90s because they were some of the first that I'd seen that had an organic feel due to liberal use of easing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLt7Gwnt3WY

My favourite meta-talk post is Zach Holman's 'The Talk on Talks'. https://zachholman.com/talk/the-talk-on-talks/ It covers some of the same basic design territory but also touches on delivery, Q&A, etc.

Octopus Deploy was bootstrapped (and profitable) from 2012 until its first funding round in 2021, which is a pretty good stretch. https://venturebeat.com/business/devops-automation-platform-...

It's great to see simple non-productized playfulness on the internet again.
All the fun experiments on https://play.ertdfgcvb.xyz/ remind me of Yugo Nakamura's now-defunct site http://yugop.com/ from back in the early 2000s.
You can catch a little glimpse of his style with the bottom menu on https://web.archive.org/web/20040804050646/http://www.yugop...., but unfortunately the main body of the site (which was the best bit) doesn't work anymore because it was built with Flash.
Some of his current work with https://tha.jp/ still has a great organic fun feel to it.
