  Haha. Enshitification at its best. Or is that adification?

  "The short version is: every algorithm I learn becomes a tool I can reach for later, and over time those tools have accumulated into something like a vocabulary. I learned about textures, layering, about colors and positioning through experimentation and creating hundreds of sketches over the years, in P5.js and other media." by Veit Heller https://blog.veitheller.de/Generative_art_over_the_years.html #generativeArt #creativeCoding #processing #p5js

  "security professionals now rank in the bottom three for overall workplace satisfaction alongside QA testers and infrastructure bods" Ah, cyber security, QA, DevOps, all the unimportant, costly stuff.

  "The point is that vibe coding collapses the distance between idea and artifact from months to hours. When that distance collapses, every quality-control mechanism your organization developed over the last 30 years gets bypassed by default." by Dr. Jason Wingard https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonwingard/2026/04/23/vibe-coding-will-break-your-company/ #artificialintelligence #aipocalypse
