@Richard Levitte

I write software. I play with software.
I take pictures, photographic pictures.
I dance; tango, Swedish and continental folk, medieval inspired.
Sometimes, I also participate in #queer, #gsrm, and primarily #polyamory / #relationshipanarchy spaces.

Sometimes, people refer to me by nickname. #Wolfie #GrayFox

What I express here are personal opinions, unless I clearly mark them otherwise.

My cat is very obviously Swedish.

I agree that there's a lack of understanding democracy in some circles.

#codeberg's members made a collective and democratic decision, and there's nothing wrong with that.

What I have a harder time is the argumentation that's used, and quite specifically that agentic coding leads to slop almost by definition. That there's no way around that... and it seems that this gets repeated so much that it becomes "truth", without checking.

Alienation? I say yeah...

... there are just too many sites that still ask for username+password, and only verify your passkey after that. Learning is slow, yeah? (and meanwhile, SSH goes "hold my beer")
