My partner and I used to use location sharing pretty much 100% of the time. We just felt better knowing we could find each other.
But today, we do not, because the trust is shattered.
Google just cannot be trusted with our locations.

I agree. But I mean, WordPress and SquareSpace already did that for about 98% of web traffic. It was a big part of the .Com Boom and Bust.
But we keep coming up with new stuff to build web software for, and there's still plenty of web developer jobs. And there's still so so many many shit websites.
Today's AI can only remix, not do the new stuff. Maybe it'll get good enough to tackle the novel new stuff, someday. I doubt I'll live to see it, if it happens.
The root of my crankiness is: If we're about to no longer need developers, I should be seeing widespread websites whose search, cart and checkout actually work correctly every time.
The snake oil salesmen are bragging that the era of carpentry has ended, from on top of a wooden stage that is falling to pieces with each step.
I would say, it can only get better, but it can really go both ways from here.
why do you guys always just move the goalposts?
"Vibe coding" has a pretty specific definition, which includes not understanding the code. So writing tests, or correcting the code both disqualify a piece of work from being technically "vibe coded".
"yes", "no", and "ship" is hilarious.
Knowing it (well, appearing to, by regurgitating the average) better than many developers, pretty soon. A huge number of us know disturbingly little about how computers actually work. (Edit: Sorry, I'm being needlessly unkind to a bunch of us, since as Snoogums said, the current stuff doesn't actually know anything at all, yet.)
Knowing it better than top developers is a science fiction fantasy singularity daydream.
And even Heinlein's and Asimov's post singularity fiction novels acknowledged that there would likely be roles for expert humans.
But for how much longer?
How much longer will we need people who understand how things work?
kindness seems pretty exclusive to white people.
I suppose big portions of history would nod quietly at this, if they could.
With maybe a clarifying note that the real goal was classism, and racism was just a convenient way to achieve more classism.
Exactly. My phone is for texting and calling out. Receiving calls is an unfortunate bug.
Perfect score. Social obligations fulfilled: 100%. Words spoken: 0. Emotional energy cost: 40%.
You're one of today's lucky 10,000!

Yes. That's what AI actually adds - plausible deniability.
