Male writers writing female characters: "Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards."

Although Hedy Lamarr was widely celebrated for her acting career, her technological achievements were not fully recognized until decades later. The frequency-hopping system she co-developed with George Antheil became foundational to later spread spectrum communications technology. Modern wireless systems such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and some secure military communication systems use principles related to spread spectrum transmission. In 1997, Lamarr received the Electronic Frontier Foundation Pioneer Award, helping bring renewed attention to her role as an inventor. Lamarr had no formal training and was primarily self-taught, she invested her spare time, including on set between takes, in designing and drafting inventions, (501 which included an improved traffic stoplight and a tablet that would dissolve in water to create a flavored carbonated drink.(40]
vibe coded for 6 months. my codebase is a disaster. the app works. users are happy. revenue is coming in. that's actually the only good part) but i just tried to onboard a dev to help me and he opened the repo and went quiet for like 2 minutes. then said "what is this." 6 months of cursor and lovable and bolt. every feature worked when i shipped it. but nobody was thinking about structure. the Al just kept adding. new file here, duplicate function there, 3 different ways to handle the same thing across the codebase. tried to refactor it myself last week. gave up after 2 hours. the thing is so tangled that touching one part breaks something completely unrelated. the generation was fast. the cleanup is a nightmare. is there even a way out of this or do i just rewrite everything from scratch?

How it feels to be a dependency hater in 2026. ALL my homies hate dependencies. If I see an open source project, first thing I check is the language. Python, typescript, JS = NO THANKS. I don't want to download the tree of life from a package manager.
