Last night I did a quick vide-coding session in Cursor for an iOS app that does currency exchange conversions. One of the key requirements in the PRD was to store the API key securely. First round of coding put the key in plain text right in the code. So yeah, human oversight is definitely a thing.

My parent’s house was about a 5 hour drive away from where I went to college. And every semester, my mom would make that drive, round-trip in one day, so roughly 10 hours of driving. Just so she could make sure I got to school or home safely. Thanks, mom. Happy Mother’s Day.

Bluesky, the “decentralized” social network built on AT Protocol, went down for an hour despite being designed specifically not to. The outage was due to “major PDS networking problems”. These are personal data servers that Bluesky itself still largely controls. Folks on Mastodon were quite amused.

Meta just migrated Threads to the more prestigious Threads.com domain after acquiring it in September. Expect some cool new features: custom feeds, multi-column views, and easier post sharing. Plus, new tools for personalization and security.

My favorite comic strip while growing up was Peanuts. I collected the Sundays and recorded all the specials on VHS. But I never knew that Charlie Brown was named after a real person. While working as an art instructor in 1950, Charles Schulz asked Charlie Brown to use the name in his new strip.

I think Macworld ‘s Macalope meant “slap MacOS on the iPad and call it a day”. But I’m not 100% sure the way it’s written. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Tampa Bay’s COL advantage has largely evaporated. The in-migration trend took a hit in 2024, with 24k fewer movers than 2023. Rising insurance costs, hurricane fears, and RTO are all to blame. The area is losing its edge. But maybe at least the traffic will improve.

My neighbor is having some landscaping done and they’ve been using the gas-powered leaf blower for at least 45 minutes. I’m surprised it hasn’t run out of gas yet.

When you’re vibe coding a project, don’t forget these tips: Clear the context window occasionally. Start with a fresh agent. Be clear in your intent. Use examples often. Be ruthless about refactoring, either on your own or with the agent’s help. Agents can quickly create spaghetti code.
