dannypdx··on Vibe Coding Is Not Engineering
'vibe coding' is just a derogatory term that devs use to belittle better builders.

Most software engineers are hilariously inept at systems engineering,

dannypdx··on Anthropic surpasses OpenAI to become most valuable AI startup
I dunno, the latest Opus models seems to be tuned to waste money... and Claude is kinda lazy lately?
dannypdx··on Vibe Coding Is Not Engineering
Software Engineering is often not truly Engineering.

The days of Devs gatekeeping and shitting on good ideas because the syntax of a PR was not perfect are over.

I'll get flamed and downvoted if I name the open source project I've been grinding on for over a year to address sensitive data access by autonomous agents in a way that is similar... but I've been thinking of similar things - data sovereignty.

I think the solution is is for people to own their data, with cryptographic protections and audit trails. We should have the ability to grant JiT privileges to extremely narrowly scoped pieces, as needed, scrubbed of PII prior to egress. Patients should have to cryptographically sign temporary access, which is revoked immediately after the task... the ux should be as simple as a docusign... I could go on and on...

But, yeah, you're not alone.

dannypdx··on MCP is dead?
Do I need to add a disclaimer to every one of my posts that shits on the wrong way?
dannypdx··on MCP is dead?
MCP is just one of many -insecure- protocols that will be swallowed by a runtime governance protocol (like g8e) that is purpose-built for security, not to 'move fast and break stuff'.
dannypdx··on SQLite is all you need for durable workflows
All this SQLite hate from big vector db... leave SQLite alone!
dannypdx··on 40% of Enterprises Will Demote or Decommission Autonomous AI Agents
Sloppy agent deployments that focus entirely on what agent -can- do are costly.
