Sick of having to click to launch VSCode pets? Now I have dedicated keys. Green throws the ball in a random direction. Squirrel launches the window.

Looking at variants of C#.NET 10's new "dotnet run" command that @damianedwards.com showcased at Build. Can it whip-up some quick C#/Python franken-scripts? yes!

I received a scratch card from Kuala Lumpur which has a $240,000 prize. Seems legit. My first job was a paperboy. Once I scratched >100 spam scratchcards I was supposed to deliver to all the old people to see how many were winners. All of them were.

So... it worked. machine-code compiled programming language, entirely "vibe coded" from scratch in 90 minutes. It was a bit of fun. This is NOT how I would recommend writing a compiler 🫢 www.youtube.com/live/67LKcIN... #MSBuild

I was asked to do a 2-hour live stream on @developer.microsoft.com YouTube at #MSBuild to vibe-code an application with GitHub Copilot. I was also told to KEEP IT SIMPLE. So... join me in 2 hours (4PM PST) to vibe-code a new programming language from scratch 😅 #YOLO www.youtube.com/live/67LKcIN...

About to get on a plane to head into PyCon US. My talk is tomorrow: Make Python Talk, Make Python Listen where I cover speech recognition, text-to-speech, and... other stuff. I kind of went extra for this talk. I have a large puppet and specially made costume. I am not joking.

Took some time out yesterday to hike with @trey.io to a community art project. If anyone at #PyConUS is looking for unusual things to do and is headed to the Mattress Factory, it’s called Randyland 👀
