I've been learning Spanish for years. I can read it fine. Grammar’s fine too.
But following native speech is tough.
So I built a little web app with tiny stories + built-in repetition for daily listening.

Agenda 22 has launched. Adds some much awaited features, like drag-and-drop list items and paragraphs, adaptive column-widths in tables, and attachment search.
Intrigued by when we will see the first major crime committed by an openclaw like system, and the court case that follows. I guess from a legal perspective, it is just a tool, and the human in the loop is ultimately responsible. But probably needs a team of lawyers to sort that out.
I feel like "vibe coding" doesn't really cover what a lot of us are doing. It’s about programming with a prompt when you know very little or nothing about the tech you are using. I do some of that, but I also use LLMs with Swift, and there it is more like powerful code completion. It needs a new term. Maybe “Meta Coding" or something like that.

The irony is that a lot of the solutions to the Swift 6 concurrency errors are to introduce another layer of indirection in the form of an async func. I think it may actually lead to new bugs, rather than fixing old ones. Wouldn't surprise me if we see problems due to interleaving or data races that weren't there before.
Imagine always being the last one chosen.
@kcase Well deserved! Congrats to the team.

@stevex@mastodon.social If they are making fundamental mistakes that the compiler *is* able to catch, imagine what they are doing that the compiler cannot catch. Compilers are relatively primitive tools. They can rarely catch dynamic problems, and you have to be very verbose in your coding. I guarantee that simply making the amateurs spend an equal amount of time writing a few tests for critical sections will find many, many more bugs. I nearly always find bugs writing tests, because they really test the code.
Why does everyone get a Mac mini for openclaw? Couldn’t you just run it in Docker?
@ricobeck@mastodon.social @lukaskubanek@mastodon.social Hmm, in English too. I was misled by seeing Trump say "Sweatin' like a dog". I guess pigs don't sweat either, so my point stands. Anything with thick skin probably doesn't sweat.
It’s odd that we say “Sweatin’ like a dog”, given they don’t sweat. It’s as if it should mean exactly the opposite.
