    They’re Living in a Dream World…

    Do the “AIs” really think or understand? Are we on the verge of machine consciousness? You know how I feel about all that (lol), but more important than such discourse on X (not real life, also lol) is who is actually pushing back against the Associated Press Stylebook’s warnings against using anthropomorphizing language (Emily M. Bender will surely be pleased!). Discover more about this shady bunch, what we can do to stop them…and why humans treating LLMs et al. as entities capable of experiencing real things and existing in the real world is a dangerous fantasy. 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!

    The Future of Code and Learning to Wield Political Power

    I'm back from vacation—a road trip through Northern California and Southern Oregon with my brother—and I return with a clearer perspective on the things which matter to me. Yes, to this show! And also, yes to building solidarity and connective tissue within the hand-coding community. We are facing the possibility of an extinction-level event, a future where it is literally impossible to participate in the software community without being required to use agentic coding practices. How can we fight this? How can we stand firm against the onslaught of fashtech? Let's get the dialog going. The solutions are bigger than any one of us, and as the saying goes, we're stronger when we work together. 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!

    I’m Building a New App in Public

    Yep, I've been hard at work on a new web software application—not for nerds, not for developers, it's for everyone. This is a new concept for me, so I'm stoked to tease a few initial details with much more coming soon. This was originally released on the Intuitive+ members-only podcast Future Insider, and now I'm sharing it with y'all. Enjoy! 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!

    John Ternus is a Monster (is he though?)

    Apple CEO John Ternus is a monster! He is an angel! Everyone is rushing to define this guy. And I think that says much more about the sorry state of tech media than anything about John Ternus. Here’s an episode that is not about the upcoming Apple Event, but about the people talking about the upcoming Apple Event. Because that’s how we roll here on Vibe Coded. 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!

    Solving the DHH Problem

    This is about the Ruby developer community, but it's also about so much more than Ruby. It's about all of us, and what we can do to hold fascists and white supremacists to account. (As well as clanker supremacists, and surprise! They're often the same people!) The story of the Ruby on Rails web framework getting forked (finally!) is just one of many stories of how communities are protecting themselves against slop machinists and anti-social rhetoric. This is a good thing. 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me! Discord / Signal / Mastodon🧭 Hire me!

    So What is Vibe Coding? And What is Handcrafted Code?

    How is it that we've arrived at episode 21, and I've never actually done an episode about what Vibe Coding is exactly? Or what the opposite of Vibe Coding is for that matter? Today, we rectify this odd scenario, and I also have an exciting announcement to make: 🔗 We write code by hand. 🙌 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!

    Questions? Answered…and Hey OpenAI, What the Hell?!

    Mastodonians and Discorders ask questions about regulations in technology and bringing guests on the show, and I answer them. Then we get into the meat of the episode: what the hell was Clammy Sammy thinking? You can feel many different ways about Apple, but one thing is pretty damn obvious: Apple is a wildly-profitable hardware company with an army of corporate IP lawyers at their beck and call. Don't put yourself in their crosshair. But we shouldn't be surprised. After all, this is OpenAI we're talking about. Theft of the intellectual property of others…sort of their stock in trade. 😂 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!

    The Extraordinarily Bad Vibes of Data Centers

    Vibe Coded has turned 1! It's hard to believe a year has gone by already, and in so many ways I feel like I'm just getting started. Thank you, my audience, for helping it grow, for all of the wonderful feedback I've received, and for the appreciable evidence that people care about the topics covered here. Speaking of which, today's topic is a whirlwind tour through just a few days of data center-related news that is truly shocking…and speaks to the reasons why fighting (and stopping!) the buildout of slop machine infrastructure has become a unifying force in American politics and beyond. 📢 Hosted by Jared White 💬 Chat with me!
