Re. Not anthropomorphizing LLMs
I'm a sucker for this. I'll apologise to an inanimate object if I walk into it.
I find useful practical tips for myself in following this to be:
1. Use the verb "I prompted" rather than I told or I asked.
2. State that the program "output" rather than it replied.
3. I don't discuss "confabulation" because it's an anthropomorphization (the reality is that the computer program is doing exactly what it is instructed to do by the user), but if I was compelled to anthropomorphize, I would use "confabulation" rather than hallucination.

My partner had not heard of the term vibe coding, and their guess was: coding, while drinking mate and listening to drum and bass. And, TBH, that is the "vibe coding" we really need.

FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies
LLM scrapers are taking down FOSS projects' infrastructure, and it's getting worse.Niccolò Venerandi (LibreNews)
A very nice paper on 4 taboos of #programming (explicit control transfer [#GOTO], low-level programming [#assembly], #flowcharts, and global variables) - with a neat theoretical background in #anthropologic taboo theory.

Pride versioning.
Yes. Developers experience pride and shame. I would argue even more if you work in #JavaScript.
