Je recommande très chaudement la BD Small Bands et pas seulement parce qu’un des chanteurs caricaturés habite à 2 rues de chez moi mais surtour parce que Nico est un ami et désormais un collègue de travail…

Je ne vous en dit pas plus !

PS: @nprofile1q... : en lisant cette BD, j’ai de suite pensé à toi. Super content que tu l’ai trouvées !

— Dear famous writer, you started your career writing grim cyberpunk. You then switched to realistic documentaries. Now, your work could be qualified as "hopepunk" or "feel good". Why did you change?
— Well… Considering I only wrote one book, I’m not sure I’m the one who change.

Little known free software facts: the window of the kitchen of offpunk’s maintainer (myself) gives a direct view into the kitchen of the maintainer of Gedit ( @nprofile1q... ).

Yes, we live in the same street, in front of each other ;-)

I believe that all the programmers who like "vibe-coding" simply have not been exposed enough to a real-world messy codebase.

I remember when banks were writing Java software to encapsulate their Cobol legacy software without touching them, thinking it was the best way to deal with such radioactive codebase.

I’m sure some are already working on "containing" vibecoded stacks that "just work if you don’t sneeze too hard next to them" and are in production.
