A thing I keep wondering. Does the world need more software? Or does it need better software?
Last August I was hacked by an extension installed in my VS Code. The hack then attempted to use claude code on my system.
I debated publishing this, but its clear this issue is going to get worse before it gets better. This is what happened to me.

@diazona @jezdez yeah - very grateful for all the work they've done - will continue to use and fork if necessary. This doesn't surprise me too much. I think the "Frontier AI Labs" are looking around and realizing their core product is heading towards fungible commodity so they need to look for other ways to build a monopoly moat around their code generation business. Purchasing the leading python toolchain seems to be a no brainer.

@pythonbynight @trey before uv I used poetry. poetry v2 adheres to the standard much better and it achieves install speeds reminiscent of uv.
Can we all please agree that "vibe coding" is a terrible term and we should use a different one?
An allegory for our time.

I've been using Zed the past week. It's still got its bumps but I have to say I really like it https://zed.dev
We need something like this for OSS
