I cheated by having writing be my day job. I stopped doing most other writing to focus on novels about fifteen years ago because at that point novel writing was the bulk of my income anyway. In this respect I got lucky.

still looking! anything related to simulators and robotics that ISN'T a defense contractor nightmare would be great. Anything Rust-y or no-AI-y would be great too.

slop is a very good word for this - if it were a human i would say the work was sloppy, in the old school sense. it's like it knows a lot of useful facts about programming but doesn't actually know how to program.

i have been asking the vibe cod for help with race conditions.

DO NOT DO THIS, it really has the potential to ruin your day down the line. I know this because I have read the output and i have seen how many race conditions it introduced to 'solve' the original race condition.

oh yeah and you'll never guess where the original race condition came from 😂

Every year, I find the San Francisco Pissed Off Voter Guide to be the best and most useful one. I especially like that they show their work.

The Governor primary is particularly vexing this year because, as an open primary, the top two vote-getters advance to the general, so it's possible for the mediocre batch of Democrats to split the vote and we end up picking between two Republican ghouls in the general. So this year's primary is more game-theoretic than I'd prefer.
