Uncle Bob really likes to treat everything as if they were Java.
Writes Go like it's java
Writes Clojure like it's java
And go on, reminds me of "law of the hammer", since he sees everything as if it were a nail.

Bad news: it's not ketchup my finger is bleeding

The nice lady on Fillmore selling me pants today asked where I lived, and when I told her, she made a concerned face and asked "Is it safe there?" so I replied "I'm the most dangerous thing there," and this is the only answer I will be using from now on.

Codeberg is set to discourage vibe-coded projects: https://blog.codeberg.org/protecting-our-floss-commons-from-llms.html

That @Codeberg blog post gives a good run-down of the familiar ways AI coding is messing up open source, but also the "The development team of none" section is describing a problem more specific to code hosting:
