    I wanted to edit my Ghostty themes but found out a lot of the colors are in #hexadecimal notation. I like #rrggbb percentage style colors (b/c they are easy to tweak by hand) and I couldn’t find an online color picker that would output that format, so I used deepseek (free) & now have a scrappy ass one w Python & Tkinter completely via “vibe” coding (I call it Clyde Color Picker. It’s adorable).

    Pretty awesome when you’re just some dumbass who needs a very specific tool and not trying to fleece people.

    I’ve always appreciated the feature of AI coding tools, where they confidently tell you they’ve done something completely wrong. Then if you call them on it, they super-confidently say: “Of course, here’s what needs to be done…”

    Then proceed to do something even worse.

      Just speak the incantation of motive energy and light the incense to soothe the machine spirit.

    Can I get this emotion bottled? I want to experience it at full strength later

    I wonder if the website did the thing where it lists their big customers like a trophy cabinet on the main landing page.

    It would probably make a good list of places to sell snake oil

    Also love that this is all evidence to back up the premise that building the happy path of an application is generally easy, one of the main skills in software engineering is ensuring the unhappy paths are covered sufficiently. I can say I’ve started a bank and keep people’s money in my wardrobe, I’ll be providing the service of holding their money—I’ll also probably get robbed sharpish because I’m not skilled in the kind of security needed to avoid that.

    If I were leojr94, I’d be mad as hell about this impersonator doling the good name of leojr94—most users probably don’t even notice the underscore.
