Still waiting on an explanation of "agentic" that features a currently existing product and not a pie-in-the-sky, "someday" promise.

If AI is so great, why do executives feel the need to cheerlead and proselytize to their employees about it?

"vibe coding" feels a lot like Rails generators - a neat party trick, and certainly impressive to people who have minimal coding experience, but aren't terribly practical for the majority of day-to-day engineering tasks.

Through some cruel trick of fate, I actually _volunteered_ to be the VP of my building's HOA. I'm now halfway through my 2-year term of office, and let me tell you, my platform of "let's not ruin people's day" is a winning formula.

Once you’re allowed to declare that a minority is inherently dishonest & dishonorable you can simply remove them from everything. Bondable employment? Not for liars! Entering contracts? Not for the dishonorable! Medication? They’ll lie about their symptoms! Loans or bank accounts? They’re cheats!
