⭐️ We're hiring a Career Facilitator! This is a full-time, onsite role in Brooklyn with meaningful work, good benefits, great colleagues, clear goals, and a healthy culture. Please share with kind, extroverted, and curious people with experience in recruiting! Link below⬇️
Programming with agents (especially multiple agents at the same time) is a lot like playing Progress Quest (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progress_…). Just watching the files fill up with code. Kinda scary – the more towards vibe coding I get the faster the bars go up. But exciting too.
I was frustrated that the default GNOME theme doesn't let you have light mode everything (windows, gnome-shell popovers, etc.) with a dark menu bar. But then I found this twilight desktop background where light and dark modes can coexist. Much better.
I got a job writing software that runs in above the Karman line at @K2SpaceCo. It's going to be great. Thanks so much to everyone who talked to me, interviewed me, made intros, or wished me luck. I'm beyond grateful.
