Critiques to vibecoding are often an example of right-Gaussian thinking. If you want to be a developer, you should avoid it. But if not, why should you not take advantage of new tools? Just be aware of the limitations. Here I try to explain why vibecoding is not a cardinal sin.

A small update to my pathfinding benchmark parser

The classic Keep Calm and Carry On poster

I released version 2.1.0 of my MovingAI benchmark parser for Rust. The main change is that I removed all panics from the library because idiomatic Rust code should not panic if it can return a Result object.

The Changelog – February 2025

And the goal of reaching spring with some inner strength

February was a pleasant month, but perhaps not a very memorable one. I read The Two Towers and Red Team Blues, watched Silo and Mythic Quest, and played Hades 2. I also listened to the new albums by Oklou, Benjamin Booker, and MIKE.

The Changelog – January 2025

Or how the ChangeLog practice is keeping me grounded.

The half-dead/half-alive tree in my neighborhood. It is a good metaphor for my mental state.

January was a fine month, but I need to shake things up. I read a book about Socrates and another Star Trek novel. I watched the entire Fast and Furious franchise. I listened to embarassing AOR and played Hades 2. And, finally, the Switch 2 was announced.

Fireworks in the night sky

Happy New Year! Let’s wrap up 2024 with a look back at the last month of a solid year. In the last stretch of the year, I reached 196 watched movies, 32 books, and I fell back into my Steam Deck.

After seeing many similar experiments, I am testing a way to show and comment on this blog’s articles using Bluesky network. In the best case, it will make the comment section more lively. In the worst case, I would had learned something new.

Notes on this Bluesky Moment

Some late reflections on Bluesky user growth and the state of social networks.

A plain blue sky with a white cloud.

In the last couple of months, Bluesky, one of the many post-Twitter attempts to reshape the landscape of social networks, is living its best moment. Powered by Twitter’s blunders and by the continuous alienation provided by his power-hungry owner, Bluesky doubled its user base from around 10 millions users to the current 24 millions. It is time to annotate some of my thoughts.
